My husband and I stayed at Valerie's place for a 6 day visit to Paris and her place was amazing. The apartment was clean, cozy, and warm, and Valerie was an awesome host. The apt is minutes from a metro entrance, which is needed to get to the city center, but bakeries, cafes, grocery stores, and pharmacies are all within walking distance. Having a courtyard was an amazing touch, as we spent time seated outside enjoying wine or a croissant almost every day. We would definitely stay again on another Paris trip!
