I am not sure how to recommend Claire's place more strongly.
Overall, our experience at Claire's place was the best compare to other three places we stayed in Paris. I was happy for two main reasons: communication and location.
Communication: Although we contacted her at very last minute, she welcomed us with pleasure. She guided us well about the time and transportation to get to the place from the airport. As the arrival time, she prepared everything for us and provide us a little tour at her home. She frequently contacted us if everything is okay. She even responded to us after contacting her friends after we asked her any recommending restaurants around the town. After check-out she also contacted us and wished us good luck.
Location: Claire's town is a little away from the tour centered areas; however, we limed that part since we wanted to experience local atmosphere of Paris. Nevertheless, the apartment is only 3-minutes away from the metro station by walk. So we did not feel any inconvenience. There were supermarket, bakery, café, and parks, so we really enjoyed those parts. Moreover, the town was calm, safe and peaceful than any other places.
Those two main reasons are why we liked about the place. But there was something that we really liked, which was her warm welcome. She welcomed us with a big smile and that made our trip much more energetic!
It was our honor as the first guest of her flat, and we really want to thank her for the kindness she provided us during the stay.
We are now back to our daily life but we cannot forget the precious memories during the stay in Paris.
