Valerie's apartment was lovely. There was lots of space and it was well equipped. It is centrally located within easy walking distance to shops, great places to eat, the metro and a variety of sights. It was also quite quiet given how centrally located it was. Overall, we had a great experience renting from Valerie. Our hostess met us upon arrival (we were a bit late due to traffic and she waited). She showed us around the flat and provided useful information re: the neighborhood, Paris, etc. An added plus, the lift which allowed us to transport our luggage upstairs easily and without having to break our backs. Overall would highly recommend this flat if you are looking for something that is spacious and centrally located.
