The apartment is nicely decorated and clean and although it's quite compact, it's very well equipped. We liked it a lot. It is situated on a quiet narrow street. The house where Balzac lived is across the street. The neighborhood is very picturesque, lively and really close to a lot of places of interest. The only thing is there's no elevator and the staircase is quite narrow but interesting by itself. It kind of takes you back in time. Our overall experience was very very good. Interactions with Valerie was easy. We experienced not a single problem.
