Claude’s apartment is the best I have stayed in after six AirBnB holidays in Paris. Beautifully spacious and quiet despite being in the heart of the Marais — we didn’t hear anything of the normally raucous fête de la musique — the apartment is a wonderful place to retreat to after the hustle and bustle of the Paris streets. Claude was polite and kind at our check-in, and her son Benoît was utterly efficient in responding to all our questions. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
