As the other reviewers have said, Valerie's home is something special. The apartment was much larger than we expected and is very well appointed. She left welcoming touches such as fresh flowers and had all the guide books and recommendations to help during our stay. The terrace is a wonderful little space, nestled in the building center. Fresh air and sunlight filled with plants and vines. The view from the apartment onto a garden courtyard was my personal favorite! The location was perfect for feeling Parisian vs. an American tourist. The neighborhood is very safe and has great cafes and restaurants just a stroll away. A wonderful place to stay!!
