Claire's apartment is gorgeous and in walking distance to local shops and restaurants. The beautiful Jardin Des Plantes just across the road! We used the local buses to get around which are right near the apartment. The weather was pretty warm in Paris and there is no air conditioner in the apartment which didn't bother us too much. Claire gave us a cooler fan to use. Beds were comfortable and noise was unnoticeable. There is a lift to assist with bags etc which was handy being on the 4th floor. Would throughly recommend.
