Claude's home is exactly as described. It was very easy to communicate with him. While we did not meet face to face, Claude sent us detailed instructions on how to enter before our arrival. If stairs are not your thing, you should not stay here since you have to walk up a few flights. The apartment is equidistant from two metro stops and is located in a lively area. We stayed 2 nights so we did not get to explore all the restaurants and bars nearby. But we enjoyed meandering our way through this arrondisement and it's a nice walk to the Marais area. At night we heard the typical city sounds, but didn't find it loud or hard to fall asleep to that. Bed was comfy and overall living areas are spacious for two people. Wifi worked perfectly during our stay. It wasn't a problem for us, but for any tall folks you might find the bathroom to be a tight squeeze. And we didn't use the kitchen but it was equipped with the basics if you needed it. We'd definitely book again in the future.
