Our stay chez Claire was wonderful and not only we recommend the studio, we plan to come back! One thing that stood out for us was the silence. The studio is on the ground level of what feels like a gated community. There is a large (gorgeous!) double door on the street and you need a code to get in. Once in, you gain access to a tiny "private street" that leads to a community with several apartments. This separation between the main street and the private street make the apartments safe and very quiet. The studio is small and perfect in size for 2 people; very comfortable and functional. Claire (our host) was friendly and caring and made us feel home. Shower is great, little kitchen has everything you need to prepare something simple and there is a nespresso machine too. Groceries are right next door where you find fresh fruit, cheese, bread, wine and water. Yes, you can buy your wine on the same place you buy your bread. Why not?
The neighborhood is vibrant and full of options. You can walk to Michelin starred restaurants, casual cafes and great bakeries. The gardens nearby are perfect if you like a morning jog. Our stay in Paris was amazing: friendly and caring people, wonderful service, and perfect ambiance for a well deserved vacation. Staying chez Claire made our vacation even better and we could not recommend more. Enjoy!
