Valerio's apartment is exactly as the pictures show. Very clean and spacious. It was perfect for our little family as the mezzanine level quickly became the favourite area for our 3 year old. We slept on his very comfortable brand new bed downstairs and had plenty of space for the 3 of us. We were barely in the apartment so the lack of TV didn't bother us, who goes to Paris to watch TV anyway?

Location was excellent. You're 3 minutes walk to Pompidou, 7 minutes from Hotel de Vill and 10 minutes from Notre Dame. There are a plethora of restaurants and bars at your front door and Valerio made a couple of suggestions we were very pleased with. There is also a Carrefour right outside that stayed open until 11pm. There are 3 metro and an RER station within a few minutes walk so accessibility to all parts of Paris, including CDG and Gare du Nord was convenient. Chatelet was the closest metro and this was perfect for getting to and from GdN easily.

All that said, as the apartment is just above and next to restaurants / bars, there is noise at night but nothing that kept us awake as London street noise if far louder and more unpleasant. His front windows are double glazed so this cuts out most of the noise.

Valerio was a breeze to deal with, communicated well and responded quickly.

I recommend a stay here while in Paris, as I know when we come back we would happily book this again.
