This is a beautiful apartment and Valerie is a wonderful host. It's even more beautiful than the pictures, and there is more natural light than you would expect. Valerie was so attentive and made sure all of our needs were met. The apartment was stocked with thoughtful amenities and was extremely clean and guest friendly. It felt like staying in a very nice boutique hotel. It felt very safe and also had a private courtyard behind two locked doors. The street was quaint and charming and not so busy which was very nice. This was the perfect place for our extended trip (1 month) because of the kitchen. It had plenty of space for us to work, cook, eat, sleep. There was also tons of storage space which really came in handy for keeping our space clean and organized. We definitely would recommend Valerie's studio!
