Valerie's flat is in a wonderful location. Very close to the metro, and located on one of the most charming streets in Paris. We absolutely loved it. The winding stairs can be a bit tricky with luggage, but we're young so it wasn't an issue. The only thing we were really missing was internet. The 'free' city internet was only available about half the time. She has a 3G domino available for internet, but it needed credits added so it was not usable. For those traveling without cell service, wifi is pretty essential, so this is the only thing that could have been better. Stay here. You will not regret it!
