Laurent was very nice and helpful. He even came towards us when we were little bit unsure where to go from train station. The neigbourhood was safe and quiet and Laurent's apartment was clean and nice and looked exactly like in the pictures. It was easy to go everywhere by metro and train and there were two metro stations nearby.
There was a wonderful bakery almost next door for fresh bread and sweets and also some supermarkets. We really enjoyed staying at Laurent's place over Christmas and New Years.
