Let me start with this. There are two sets of photos for this listing, ones that look like they were taken by a professional, others that look like they were taken by a normal person. And probably the only time ever, the ones that look like they were taken by a professional are in fact what this place actually looks like. It is PERFECT. There is no other way to put it. The design is impeccable, very modern with a very authentic, rustic, cozy feel to it. Everything from the sinks to the kitchenware to the shower is just better and nicer than your usual Air BNB apartment. The apartment itself is on the 3rd story of a very old building in the best area of the Latin Quarter. The location is fantastic and it is just a block away from the metro. Open the window by the bed and you can smell the most delicious food ever being cooked everywhere, literally. You can hear the sounds of people walking on the street and drinking and talking at night. Close the window and you hear nothing, which is great for when you want to sleep. My girlfriend and I spent every morning at the table with a warm cup of tea/coffee in are hands just taking it all in. Valerie gives you extensive instructions on how to get to and from the airport/train station. Two things of importance, that although are not necessarily positives, should not detract from your decision to stay here. First, beware, as other reviewers have explained, the stairs are pretty brutal, but as my girlfriend and I have learned, Paris just has a knack for designing the worlds most difficult and incredibly steep/narrow staircases. This is everywhere and not just unique to this apartment building. Second, the trash people come early in the morning to clean the street. It is loud regardless of whether your windows are closed or not. Neither of us really minded because we came to explore paris not to sleep, but if you are a light sleeper, this is something to consider. I do not think they do this every morning, but I am not sure, so do get in contact with her beforehand to figure this out. To sum it up, as some other reviewers have stated, this place is a fairytale and it/the location made our trip to Paris absolutely magical. Thank you Valerie for all your help. We will be staying here again next time we are in Paris!
