Lovely apartment in a great area! The market street had changed little since we're were there for 2 weeks 7 years ago. This stay was shorter, but this time Valerie's place was much nicer than the apartment we had then. Valerie couldn't be there in person but lovely Sonia was there within seconds of us arriving at the door! Stairs are interesting, no surprise for such a historic building, but once you step inside they are easy to forgive. Don't let the toilet warnings scare you, it's very simple, only put the toilet paper provided (quite ok) and nothing else inside it.
The apartment have been decorated very well, double glazed windows open onto the market street, wonderful to capture the atmosphere and lovely food smells. Bed, table chairs, shower (good size), basins, kitchenette, fridge, heaters, all functioned as expected. Valerie wanted to be super helpful but we barely tested her as we were familiar enough with much of Paris. All in all: Highly recommended.
