Valerie was a super host! Very responsive to our request to help with getting the TV set up so we could watch the soccer games we did not see in person! She left us a plate of the those wonderful Parisian croissants that melt in your mouth. I fell in love with her expresso machine! The beds were very comfortable and the elevator was a life saver for this old lady at the end of a long day of walking! The neighborhood was very friendly and I loved the LE217 Restaurant just down the street for great French food in a family atmosphere! If I have the chance, I would definitely rent from Valerie again and would highly recommend her accommodation. She is located within walking distance to the Paris zoo, which was very nice to visit. She is located about 30 minutes by metro to most places tourist would probably want to see. So that may be an issue for some but she lives in such a lovely neighborhood, safe walking at night, safe metro station within a 5 minute walk that it did not bother my daughter and I at all. She also has a two groceries within easy walking distance and a wonderful bakery. I loved her neighborhood! Good accommodations make a world of difference to having a nice trip and Valerie's home was great!
