Valerie's apartment is in a lovely, quiet area near the Luxembourg Gardens and in the Val de Grace neighborhood. It is well appointed, has a great kitchen with everything one could ever need to make a meal for 4. even a dishwasher! Also had a washing machine which came in handy after spending 5 days in Amsterdam! Right around the corner is the Port Royal station which made getting around Paris a breeze. Lots of places to eat and people watch nearby. LOVED it!!!!!
