Valerie's place is an excellent Parisian-styled apartment, with plenty of light and space (perfect for a family of 5). The bookcases with an excellent selection of French literature and philosophy was a pleasant surprise. The location is 2 min away from the metro station (lines 4, 8, 9) which give you a quick access to the Left Bank as well as the further located attractions of the Eiffel Tower (Trocadero) etc... If you care for early morning snacks and breakfast (we were jet lagging already at 2 am) there are 3 bakeries that open at 6 am within an easy stroll on our street. There are also numerous grocery stores: one across the street and one below the apartment. Valerie's place is on the 1 st floor but if feels like the 3rd, she was kind enough to meet us at the check-in, showed us around the place, left her contact and even introduced us to her husband and son. Great experience, clean, and memorable.
