Valentina’s cute and cozy apartment had everything I needed for a two-week stay in Paris. The washing machine was a plus as I packed light. Nestled between the Marais and buzzy 11th arrondissement, the apartment is perfectly located for foodies and those who want to have more of a local experience. That said, the major attractions of Paris are easily accessible by the nearby metro stations or, if you have more time(~40 mins to the Louvre), on foot along the Seine. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the building itself. Valentina was extremely accessible and quick to reply if I had any questions. As others have noted, the bed is quite firm. Overall, if I can book Valentina’s place in the future, I would happily stay here again!
