The location was great for our brief visit to Paris: right near so many things in the Marais district, and easily reached by train from CDG airport just a short walk from the Chatelet Des Halles station. Laurent is a perfect host. He responded immediately to all questions, accommodated our desire to drop our bags with him early in the day, offered a warm personal welcome upon arrival, and had compiled an extensive set of clear, detailed recommendations that anticipated our needs and desires. His modest (and therefore eminently affordable) room was immaculately clean and met our needs. He probably hasn't seen the last of us.
