Claudia's apartment is very good value, given the inflated prices of both hotels and Airbnbs in Paris at the moment. Her flat is in a truly excellent location, a five minute walk from the Bastille metro and also within easy walking distance to the Marais and across the Pont de Sully onto the Ile St Louis, and onwards to the Left Bank. It is in a quiet residential street, and yet no more than 10 minutes from the lively night life of the Rue de la Roquette. It's convenient for pharmacies and a branch of Monoprix (supermarket). Being on the 4th floor meant there was no street noise. The flat is very well equipped. It could be a little confusing because there are so many of Claudia's own possessions in the flat, but if you ask her at check in, she will indicate where things are that are available for use. Check in was extremely efficient, and we really appreciated that she was willing to check us in personally despite arriving late at night. This was very much like an experience of Airbnb in its early days when you had the opportunity to stay in someone's home, and get a sense of what it is like to live in a particular city. The fact the flat has two bedrooms is a real bonus in Paris.
