Valerie’s place is *magic*. I absolutely loved my stay here. I live in Los Angeles and I am a creative so her home suited me quite well. It has a well appointed artist/bohemian vibe. If you consider yourself more of the American Princess/Prince type (no judgement) that expects the Eiffel Tower from a balcony window then you might want to keep looking. Her home is very close to the Metro - Stalingrad stop. This will get you everywhere you want to go. If this is your first time in Paris, you will spend very little time at home because there is so much to see. Consider that when booking your airbnb. I can also tell you her home is very clean and peaceful; it’s on the first floor so no stairs to contend with. I did not mind the neighbor’s kids playing in the late afternoon nor the cat. They were all very charming and sweet. The deck is a great place to hang with your laptop or a glass of wine. Also, to all the female solo travelers out there, I loved staying here. I felt safe and found it easy to navigate my way, but I’m also an ex-New Yorker so I instantly felt at home in Paris. To sum it up, in my California lingo, this place has really good vibes. Thanks Valerie. My only regret was we couldn’t meet in person. You made my stay in Paris wonderful!
