Check-in: A breeze. Took us 3-5 minutes. 5-star check-in. :))
Location: Can't say enough about how we loved the location of Valerie's place. Super close walk to multiple destinations (The Louvre, Notre Dame, Jardin du Luxembourg to begin with), metro stations and train stations; you will have access to a hip strip of local restaurants/bars that are open late at night, the vibe is wonderful and it felt like a pretty safe neighborhood to walk in at night. What surprised us was, despite being in close proximity of busy streets, the apartment itself was so quiet at night, I could not hear anything besides my own breathing. It was amazing.
Amenities/Interior: The apartment had an old world beauty to it, I loved the details and the wooden touch. The apartment was conveniently equipped with modern amenities, we took advantage of the amenities such as washer, hair-dryer, coffee-maker, fridge, fast wi-fi, etc.
Merci beaucoup to Valerie for providing us such a wonderful first-time experience in Paris! If we come back to Paris, will definitely like to stay here again. :)))
