We stayed in Paris for the 2 days short trip in aug 22 , Virginie was a great host the house was so cozy we never felt like a hotel it was more homie. The balcony is the best part you get to see a good view of one side of Paris which brings a lot of Breeze inside the apartment rather than a hotel room where all sides are covered with walls. One thing to note Paris the weather is slight cold so there is no air conditioner in this place. The monoprix shop just outside the apartment is a good supermarket to buy water and your other essentials.
