In the city of light, Laura is truly a shining star. I felt very welcome in her home and she did everything to make my stay comfortable and my sightseeing and traveling easier. She provided guidance when I needed it on how to use the transportation system, how to make calls within the EU and to the US, where to eat in her area, how to get a SIM card, what is particularly interesting about some tourist areas, secrets of Paris, safety in Paris etc etc. In other words, Laura is really there for her guests when you need her. I love Paris and had a wonderful vacation and stay at Laura's home. She is located close to several bus stops and metro stations and restaurants. Grocery stores are also a quick walk for anything you may need. I felt safe at night in the area. I would definitely stay with Laura again and maybe even take some French lessons with her since she is fluent in English and French and has teaching experience! I had a wonderful experience and her well behaved, quiet little dogs were a plus! So adorable and sweet.
