It was truly a pleasure to stay at Laurent's place. Though we did not meet Laurent himself, Laurent made sure that one of his (very kind and friendly!) friends was there to hand us the keys and tell us everything we needed to know about the apartment. The apartment is in the heart of the city (which is incredible!) but on Friday nights it is possible to hear a little bit of noise from the restaurants and bars along the street. However, Laurent very kindly provided ear plugs to mitigate this. (We personally did not need to use these as it wasn't too loud, but it is noticeable). To our surprise, the apartment was also very well stocked with mosquito repellants, shampoos, sun creams, body and hand towels etc. Similarly, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment - we made sure to use the orange juicer for some fresh OJ in the mornings! The pictures of the apartment are a very good reflection of its size and cleanliness, so we were very happy! The air conditioner worked perfectly, and the shower had great heat as well as power. The only slight issue we had was that we occasionally struggled to open the door to the building, so perhaps the key is slightly old. Other than that, Laurent's place is the perfect place to stay, and we cannot wait to revisit!
