Valerie's Studio is even better than the photos portray. She was very welcoming and friendly when we arrived, even though we were 2 hours later than anticipated. While the stairs could be challenging for luggage or people with mobility issues, the climb was well worth it when my wife and I entered the studio. Everything you need is provided, and the pedestrian only street below provides anything else. There are fantastic restaurants nearby, groceries across the street, and short walks to many of Paris' attractions. After full days of exploring the city, it was enchanting to walk through the cobbled streets returning to the comfortable lodging. Also, the shower was incredible, and I wish mine at home was this nice. Next time we travel to Paris, we will definitely see if Valerie's studio is available.
