We had a wonderful weekend in Paris, and Vanessa's apartment was a great fit due to it's central location - walking distance from châtlet metro st., Marias, and the Siene river. Vanessa's mom welcomed us and showed all the necessary things in the apartment. Flexible check in and out. It should be noted that there was no internet in the apartment and it was quite unfortunate. Also they is a lot of noise from the streets at night, but we just bought some earplugs and then it wasn't a problem. I would happily come back and recommend staying at Vanessa's for weekend getaways.
