We stayed at Laurence's place for ten days, the apartment is nice, clean and neatly furnished, very bright. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is small but fully equipped to prepare your own meals. The bathroom is quite small too: the sink is super tiny and the toilet flush is electric and quite easy to get broken. When we were there the mechanism broke, making the toilet unavailable for three days; we must say that Laurence was quite supportive and found a suitable solution for us until the toilet was repaired.
The apartment is located in a nice and quiet area of the Belleville neighborhood, very close to the beautiful park of Buttes-Chaumont, and just 20 minutes from downtown Paris (Hotel de Ville); there you will find lots of nice shops and gourmet restaurants, as well as many typical brasseries.
Laurence is a nice, welcoming and talkative person and, as we already said, very supportive; she provided us with many interesting information about the area, places to go and exhibitions to visit.
We definitely suggest Laurence's place for short stays; it would be perfect for longer stays if a closet space was added.
