I’ve stayed at Valmy twice now and I can’t recommend the space enough. The location is absolutely prime - it’s a short walk to many of the major monuments and in an area that has a very local feel. With multiple locked doors it’s very safe and quiet, and the old building is beautiful. Jean-Pierre keeps it in impeccable condition and the interior is updated and very cute. Jean-Pierre is also a great host - easily available and flexible for arriving and departing. He also offers suggestions as well as stocks books in the apartment on various Parisian spots. I have stayed here twice and would stay again - great spot and great host!
