Valerio was accommodating in allowing us to check in earlier than expected. We were surprised upon arrival to find that the flat was located above a bar. Since it was very hot in Paris and in the apartment during our stay, we had no choice but to leave all the windows open. Cigarette smoke made its way into the apartment at night and it was quite noisy. I suspect if you are visiting during one of the cooler months when the windows can be kept closed this may not be a problem. However it was for us. The WiFi was not working int he apartment. However, Valerio offered us a monetary refund to make up for this inconvenience which was appreciated.
