This is a great apartment, with a very welcoming feel. The lounge is spacious, and the top-floor balcony is a real bonus--very peaceful and secluded.

The second arrondissement is a great place to stay in Paris. It is close to everything, and has an authentically "Parisian" feel. Rue Montorgueil is a two minute stroll from the apartment, and has a wealth of food stores, cafés and restaurants.

Claire is delightful, and was very helpful during our stay. Her housekeeper, Bela, is also a lovely person.

I would recommend this apartment without reservation.
