In my experience with Airbnbs, places with beautiful photos like this tend to benefit from careful cropping and camera placement and end up disappointing. Valerie's place is the opposite - the photos offer a small taste of a place that far exceeded our expectations. What a beautiful, bright, spacious and airy space—an absolutely perfect place to bring the family for a vacation in Paris. The living room is enormous and incredibly comfortable - such a nice way to end a busy day of touring the sites. A comfy queen bed and master bedroom, another bedroom with two single beds and a pullout couch in the living room had all 5 of us well taken care of.
Valerie and her husband greeted us when we arrived and gave us a thorough orientation, two sets of keys and restaurant suggestions in the neighbourhood. There were fresh flowers in the kitchen and living room and everything was spotlessly clean. A washer, dryer and dishwasher were also a huge plus.
The location is great - right around the corner are endless restaurants (including chain restaurants like McDonalds and KFC for those with less adventurous children) and the Metro station just a 90 second walk from the front door.
We were very sad to have to leave today. If you're looking for a place to stay in Paris, stop looking and book here. You'll be glad you did.
