I can’t say enough good things about Valerie’s place. It’s absolutely gorgeous, a real Parisian experience, and the neighborhood is wonderful — close enough to walk everywhere but out of the tourist center so you can escape to some serenity. The place is spotless and homey, and Valerie went above and beyond to leave restaurant recommendations, let me check in a bit early and out late, and even had some fruit, sparkling water and butter for my stay. There is a beautiful park and great restaurants and boulangeries just steps away. Can’t recommend this place enough, though I want to keep it a secret for myself!
