First off, it's important to know that this place is amazing. It's proximity to Place de la Bastille, Le Marais, and the 11eme arr. made it the perfect home base for me while working and exploring Paris. The photos don't do it justice. It's actually way more comfy that the photos make it look. Yes, it's small - but it's perfectly appointed with everything you'd need including all a fully functioning kitchen and nice-to-have amenities like a hair dryer, iron, tv, etc. My only observation is that the bathroom is quite small so some creative maneuvering may be required. If Valerie's place is available the next time I'm in Paris I'd gladly stay there again.
