We loved staying in Valérie's home. It as a new area of Paris for me but being able to see the Eiffel tower from "our" home in Paris was a big hit with our kids and there are tons of great shops and food in the area. Not too many metro lines but exploring the buses was fun and effective.
You can tell that this is someone's real home and not just a rental. Lots of personality all around the apartment and the size was great. 3 good sized bedrooms and tons of living space.
