Virginie is lovely and very hospitable. She greeted us when we got there and showed us the place. It's three flights of stairs with no elevator so be prepared if you're taking suitcases. The apartment is cozy and warm and tastefully decorated. I enjoyed the art on the walls. It was clean and comfortable. There is a grocery store right down stairs and the metro is a 2 mins walk away. It's also a few minutes away from Gare de L'Est, so it's very conveniently located. If you like walking, most attractions are about 30-45mins away. I enjoyed my stay at Virginie and would definitely recommend it!
