This was our first time to Paris and Valerie's flat was the perfect place for what we needed. Valerie's son Jeremy greeted us and was kind enough to make himself available for any questions. It's on the second floor so you'll need to carry your luggage up a couple fights of spiral staircase, but once you do that, you'll appreciate the central location. The flat itself had all the conveniences of a fully stocked kitchen, Wifi, a desk for your laptop, tv, heated towel rack, extremely comfortable bed, and blackout drapes for sleepers sensitive to light. You will also appreciate the cleanliness of the place.
The location is great. It's off of a quiet street so you'll get good sleep. However, once you exit onto the main street, it is a vibrant neighborhood full of markets, bakeries, restaurants, stores, and 5 min walk to the metro!
Valerie's communication was very quick and helpful. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this place to anyone! :)
