We had a great stay at Valdimir's apartment. Everything was just as advertised, and it was really close to the metro which made seeing Paris very easy. Just two things to note- by USA standards, the apartment is on the 7th floor, so if you don't like climbing stairs this isn't for you. Also, the hot water supply at any one time is limited, so don't expect to take a long shower and still have hot water (we managed two short showers at one time).
