The apartment was a very nice surprise and in a great GREAT location, modern and beautifully appointed. Everything worked. I am very glad and thankful we found it and that Valerie was able to accommodate us efficiently with such short notice (within 12 hours). While our plans for this trip were mainly on the other side of the river, where we had originally planned to stay, the location of the apartment is so very good, it made us forget it: a short walk to the center of Paris. The space is clean, very well designed and tasteful. There are three flights of stairs that are not a big problem even after a full day of pounding Paris. Highly recommend it.
