This is a well-appointed apartment in a great neighborhood. It is perfect for an extended stay as it has a lot of room (for Paris). Laurence's daughter met and welcomed me. I've spent a bit of time in the city so I didn't need much help but she was ready and willing to be a good host. The neighborhood is great, just off the beaten track, and the cafe next door (La Fontaine) is perfect. For most purposes you'l have in central Paris you don't even need to take the Metro, but you are not surrounded by tourists. One thing to note is you'll get a workout going up the five floors.
