My daughter and I spent a wonderful few days in Paris, staying at Valerie's home. The apartment is just as it looks in the photos: high ceilings, wooden floors and there is no doubting you are in Paris. Valerie was a great host. She was there to meet us, even though we arrived a bit earlier than planned; she was helpful, thoughtful and effortlessly made us feel at home. The apartment is in the 13th but very close to the 5th and it's an easy and pleasant walk into the centre. It's also well connected, close to a number of public transport stops.
