Valeries Place is a hidden beauty in the midst of Paris and I couldn't imaging a better place to stay there. It lies secluded in a beautiful (and surprisingly silent) backyard. You will find everything you need and a lot of space, light and warm atmosphere.
By foot you can easily reach the canal and have (in both directions) the opportunity to eat great food and stroll around one of the less touristy but very populated places of the city (bakerys, bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc. -- all included). You could even walk to montmartre and only be half an hour. If you decide to head for the city center, there is a metro station (only 5 minutes away) and the gare du nord (maybe 10 minutes). But better yet: Use one of the velib stations near Valeries place. There is a very good and fast express-ridepath to the river that takes you there in maybe 15 minutes. Along the river you will find other express-ridepaths on which you can safely bypass the waiting cars.
All on top: Valerie might just be one of the nicest hosts I have ever experienced. She replied very fast and really made sure, we feel at home and well catered for. Thank you!
