Booked this apartment for our short stay in Paris during the new year, and we absolutely adore this lovely place throughout our stay! The apartment is well located near the metro and the neighborhood is very local, surrounded with shops, restaurants and grocery stores, perfect for if you want to get-away from those touristic area and experience a way of parisien living, and with the city's excellent transportation system you can get around Paris very quick and easily. When we first stepped in the apartment, my boyfriend simply said "WOW, this place is really nice!", we enjoyed the space, very well equipped kitchen and very comfortable couch and bed, during our four days in Paris we probably ended up spending more time at the apartment than out in the city, just because it feels so cozy and comfy. We didn't meet our host in person but all in all, thank you for their courtesy and hospitality, Valerie is a very nice host that she is always willing to assist with our trip and make arrangement for our arrival.
