Valerie‘s apartment is so well designed. It’s located on the top floor (5th floor), of a beautiful 17th century building. The interior has been completely renovated Leaving the exposed wood beams, fireplace, and beautiful Parque. The first thing you notice is that the place is absolutely spotless. Then as you start to look around you can really appreciate the thoughtfulness that was put into designing the apartment. It has a kind of Asian feel, it’s modern, it’s simple, but it has everything that you need and in the right places. The apartment has a washing machine, and no dryer, No but she has used curtain rods across a wall in the bathroom, and in the windows to create spaces were clothes can easily dry. The shower has accordion doors, so you can get in and out easily unlike some Paris apartments where you need to be rail thin to even squeeze through the shower door. She has shelving in a couple of places that uses the vertical space effectively. The furniture is antique, carefully selected, and perfectly suited to the space. The kitchen has exactly the pots and dishes that you need to be able to cook and nothing more. It’s organized perfectly. The bed is comfortable, The sheets and pillows are good quality and comfortable. Valerie was even so thoughtful to supply soaps for the shower and sinks with a beautiful natural smell. We have stayed at a couple other apartments that were considered rare fines by AirBNB, I would not consider them “rare finds” but I would definitely consider Valerie’s place a rare find.
The location of the apartment is right in the middle of the fourth a arrondissement, ideal for people who want to peruse some of the popular tourist spots, but also considered highly desirable for locals. There are plenty of good restaurants and boulangeries around. Of course access to public transportation or a taxi is not a problem.
Valarie met us at the appartement to make sure that we were able to find it OK, enter the building without any problems, and connect to the Wi-Fi without any problems.
This is a really nice apartment. Highly recommend.
