Staying at Valerie and Roberts apartment was a pleasure! It was beyond the pictures and descriptions provided. Excellent location, close to various restaurants and stores (all of the ones we tried were great!), and a metro station that connects to every sight in the city. Stairs entering the apartment and the staircase to the loft were narrow but traditional to the Paris architecture. Wifi was excellent; kitchen was full of supplies to cook. Used the washer while in apartment with laundry detergent provided by the hosts. Great touch in being prepared! Opening the windows throughout the apartment kept the rooms cool and allowed for relaxing on the couch or the bean bag chair. Will be returning and recommending !
