Valerie's apartment is beautiful and cozy, pretty quiet for such a busy city like Paris. Close to subway, grocery stores, boutiques and 30 min walk to Eiffel Tower. Communication was great: fast response, detailed check in/check out instructions, recommendations for local pastry shops and restaurants. The apartment was clean with modern design. Downsides: toilet lid was broken and parts were just glued together, limited access to washers during the day only- almost impossible to get a chance to wash your clothes as the wsshers were always in use.
