This apartment is in a wonderful location. It’s safe, close to the metro, and vibrant.
The apartment is just like the pictures (the living room furniture is just slightly different, two chairs instead of the couch in the picture) but the rest is exactly the same as you see in the pictures.
There are a lot of stairs. It’s 5 floors of stairs, so be prepared especially if you have a bigger bag.
The shower doesn’t drain too well so you just give it time to dry out. It’s fine though if you take a quick shower.
I didn’t get a chance to meet Claire but she is a great host. She left me all the details I needed. I felt like I knew every step of the way. That really put me at ease since it was my first time in Paris.
