Laurent’s place is just as described. Very clean, very comfortable, and convenient to most of Paris’ popular sites. The apartment is just yards from Gard de l’Est metro station, which makes it easy to get to from the airport and the city.
Our trip to Paris was VERY last minute. Literally the night before our arrival I reached out to Laurent who immediately responded. In fact she responded to all of my inquiries within minutes. As our flight arrived at 0700h I asked if early checkin was possible. Not only did she allow it, she offered that we could check out late if we needed as the apartment was not booked the night before or after us. I truly appreciated the extra touch of hospitality. Checkin was super easy and convenient as well, as it was basically self check in. We did not need to wait for someone to meet us.
As for the apartment, it was beautifully laid out, with two separate bedrooms, a living area and well stocked kitchen with a nespresso machine which is a plus (although you will need to buy your own food including coffee). A good sized bathroom and shower (not the teeny tiny showers that are typical in many European apartments), and enough hot water for four showers within 1 ½ hours.
All in all a super experience, highly recommend it.
