small but all you need
We had a very nice 2.5 month stay. Apt is small but well laid out and well equipped. Located in the lovely French Concession and easy access to all types of amenities. It can be a bit noisy at night due to the location over a busy street. Really loved it and would return.

CAN'T FAULT IT
We spent 11 nights in Laurent's little apartment - yes it is not very big, but every inch of space has been put to good use, the shower is terrific and all was spotlessly clean. How nice to be able to throw open the windows and watch Chinese life happening all around you. With two split systems you would be very comfortable at any time of the year, though the weather in October is just perfect and no extra heating or cooling was necessary! Communication with Laurent was always very prompt and we appreciated the little extras left for us and the generous toiletries supplied. The location is perfect and we used only our feet and the metro to get around. Everything is so handy from shops to restaurants, you are spoilt for choice, all within walking distance. The ambience is cosy and romantic and the ever changing views from the apartment are fascinating. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday Laurent.

Wonderful stay!
Amazing location. Very quaint and felt like home. Laurent was responsive. The neighbors are a little noisey, but I was prepared for that. I would stay again.
