The location of the apartment was incredible. Close to the classic sightseeing locations as well as close to the new hipster district Marais. My daughters and walked everywhere. The building felt very secure and quiet. The apartment was recently renovated and everything was very clean. Valerie is a great host. Always responds very quickly. Flexible and solution oriented (e.g. was so easy going for our late check in). Definitely recommend he place and Valerie.
