Laurence was a great host and her apartment was beautiful and new. It was a VERY spacious 1 bedroom and it was perfect to come home to after a long day walking in the city. The amenities and furnishings all feel first class, and the building itself is very safe and rather upscale with the security measures and big elevators. Kitchen was awesome, bed was comfortable, bathrooms spotless with strong (and hot) water, and balcony to top it all off. Strongly recommend this unit to anyone visiting Paris! Truly was like a second home!
