Claire’s apartment is beautiful - a lot of light and homely. It is well located, just a stone’s throw from the metro. There are also some nice markets & boulangeries close by, from where we were able to buy fresh produce. Claire made sure we felt at home right from the beginning. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us, along food in the fridge, and her apartment was well-stocked with all amenities.
The weather turned very hot during our stay. We used the fans provided but needed to keep the windows open.
The downside here was that Ave de Belleville is very busy, through the day and night, and it got fairly noisy, especially in the second bedroom.
Despite that, overall we felt very much ‘chez nous’ (at home), and Claire was a very generous host!
