Claire was an extremely welcoming host. Her flat is located in a very central location, with easy access to the Metro just a block away. We walked to local restaurants, and to the sights along the river (the Louvre, Tuileries, etc) each day. Her apartment is quaint, and indeed very quiet. Please be respectful of the neighbors if you stay here, since soiund carries well in the center courtyard. The flat is a beautiful 17th century building with nice detail. As you would expect, some parts of the flat are a bit dated as a result. The price reflects this accordingly. For the warm hospitality, and the great location, I highly recommend Claire's apartment. Very enjoyable stay in Paris!
