Our experience staying in Valerie's studio was EXCEPTIONAL! We arrived quite late in the evening as we were traveling from Canada; Valerie gave us wonderful instructions on how to access the apartment when we arrived so there were no issues getting in past check in time. The apartment itself was beautiful; just as the photos depict. We stayed at two other places on our trip to France; Valerie's shower was the best even in comparison to a very high end hotel! We had little to no issues with noise; the street quiets down in the late evening. In the morning, the little shops opening and garbage pick up can be noisy but that doesn't start till 7/8ish so we didn't have an issue with it. Overall we had a great experience. The area this apartment is located in was my favourite area in Paris. The pace is slower; the people are friendly and their is minimal tourists. Essentially you are located in an area mostly filled with students and profs (or so it seems.) While we did a lot of walking; we also used the metro in the evenings if we wanted to search out a restaurant in another part of the city. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone! (The stairs are OLD and they can be tricky the first time especially with big suitcases; but once you figure them out they add to the charm!)

Stay here! You won't be disappointed!
