I am almost reluctant to review this apartment, but for all the right reasons! I know that once tell you how amazing it is - it will never be available for when I come back to Paris! They say good things come in small packages. And when it comes to Claire's apartment - this is true and more. This wonderful apartment is small but perfectly formed! Recently renovated to a very high standard, Claire has worked a miracle on making a small space feel HUGE. A 5 flight walk upstairs (a small price to pay for what lies ahead of you and perfect to work off the croissants) you enter this little gem. The kitchen window looks out to Parisian rooftops and a corner of the Centre De Georges Pompidou. Magical. The kitchen has everything you need. I even cooked at home a few times. The bedroom is elevated on a mezzanine, perfect for a single or couple. The wardrobes are large, plenty of space in the bathroom and all redesigned wonderfully with a modern twist, yet the parisian charm still exists in the old features. The apartment is not just in the best area of Paris in my eyes, also the best street. Buzzing, but not touristy (as long as you turn left instead of right for the Centre Pompidou!) and full of amazing cafes, boulingeries, fromageries, creperies wonderful restaurants and designer shopping! The CentreP is next door to the right and turn left and you will reach Place De Voges in a short stroll for a picnic! Everything is a walk and accessible from this apartment. The Metro, The Seine, St Germain, The Louvre The Champs Elysees. I ran/walked EVERYWHERE! Apartment aside, Claire is a SUPERB host. She was on hand via message at all times and we even met for a chat and a cuppa. She advised me on restaurants, and even helped me to book a taxi for my early departure. When i left, I felt as though i was leaving home. That is when you know an air b and b is perfect! Home from home. Thank you Claire! Pour Tout! x
