Virginie's apartment is spacious, clean and beautiful. It is even more lovely than the pictures. It is located very close to many excellent restaurants, cafes, and convenient to public transportation and both Gare du Nord and Gare de l'est. Communication with Virginie was very prompt and clear. She sent a friend of her son's to meet us at the apartment and he was very friendly and thorough as he showed us the space and gave us the keys. The apartment is on the top floor of the building (with elevator) and has two tiny, sweet balconies. In the summer time, with the windows open, the cross breeze was perfect. Virginie left us a bottle of rose and some nice snacks as a welcoming gift, and we had a beautiful visit to Paris. I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful apartment with such a gracious host.
