Valerie was a lovely host and her apartment is absolutely charming. The apartment is completely updated, luxurious shower, comfortable bed and lots of light. The neighborhood is wonderful with a delicious bakery, cheese shop, wine store, all just around the corner. As other reviewers have noted, there is a good deal of street noise in the morning so come prepared if you are a light sleeper. We had a wonderful visit and would definitely return again, thank you Valerie!
