Claire's place was mostly very quiet, cool (in the summer), and incredibly spacious for Paris! I appreciated the shower for its excellent water pressure and hot water. The bathroom also has plenty of space to spread out and have all your toiletries easily accessible. This is the fourth place I have stayed in Paris, and the only one that has plenty of room to move about. The only thing missing is a good sitting/hang out area, but that's just when asking for perfection. The kitchen was wonderful. Metro stop is very close by and will take you to the heart of Paris. There are grocery stores, boulangeries, and restaurants very close by. We really felt at home there and we're very comfortable.
