We really enjoyed our stay at Virginie's place. It was well represented and very classic.

We were able to stay with our babysitter and our toddler. It is a very open floor plan w/o much privacy with three or four, but that wasn't really a concern for us. Her place feels like you stepped back in time a little. Not dated at all, but as mentioned very classic. The windows are great and the temps were perfect for us to enjoy the weather outside in September.

We loved the old skeleton keys! It really makes you feel like this place has some history. The floors are a little squeaky in a couple spots so if you are a lite sleeper, beware, but it is a charming squeak. It is on the second floor, as are many places which was no problem for us, but should be mentioned. The tall ceilings and multi-piece crown molding were great.

It is situated within a 3 minute walk to the Butte Chaumont Park which is a wonderful place to go w/a spouse, a child, alone or for exercise. There must have been at least a hundred people doing laps around the park on foot. We enjoyed the restaurant in the park as well as the waterfall and just strolling around w/our toddler.

The area has more to offer than we had time for. We spent what time we had divided between this neighborhood and the major tourists areas. To get to those, it's just a 3 minute walk to the subway and then a 10 to 30 min ride depending on where you are going and how many switches you have to do in the subway, but that's Paris.

Food in the groceries is a lot less expensive in the neighborhood than in the center of town, so if you are touring the hotspots, swing into a grocery and grab your water and other items on the way.

Her husband was waiting for us upon our arrival to show us the place and how to use the keys. They were always available by phone if needed. She also helped us arrange a taxi for the airport at the last minute since ours fell through.

We were very pleased to go there and would be happy to stay at Virginie's place again.
