We absolutely loved staying in Claire’s apartment. The location is perfect with lovely cafes, patisseries restaurants and supermarkets on your doorstep. It’s right in the middle of a vibrant, lively street, but is very quiet once your in the apartment. Trains and buses are a few minutes walk away. The apartment is quaint with homely touches but includes all mod cons. The 5 flights of stairs sound worse than they are in reality. The steps are not steep at all and Claire organised help with our luggage both on arrival and departure. There is aircon in the main living room and bedroom ( a fan in the other bedroom) so while Paris was very hot during our stay we remained comfortable. Claire’s place offers space to spread out if your travelling in a large group. We loved our time in Claire’s apartment and would highly recommend staying there.
