We loved the location of Laurent's apartment. It is located in a very lively neighborhood with many varied and good restaurants nearby. It is close to 2 metro stations and a 10 minute walk from the Chatelet Train Station, which made traveling anywhere in Paris very easy. The apartment was clean and well equipped and Laurent came on a weekly basis to change our sheets and towels, which we really appreciated. There is a washing machine and a nice drying rake, but we also found 3 laudromats nearby and we were able to dry our laundry quickly and easily in a machine. As an older couple, we really appreciated the 2 person elevator, which goes to the 6th floor, although the apartment is on the 7th floor. During our 23 day stay, we experienced plumbling problems with the shower on 2 different occasions where the shower did not drain properly and the entire bathroom flooded. On both occasions, Laurent called a plumber who came out in the early afternoon, but we could not use the bathroom until around 3 p.m. until the problem was fixed. We received a refund for 2 partial days to compensate us for our trouble.
