My best friend and I absolutely LOVED staying at Claire's place! It is a safe and secure building in a fantastic part of Paris. The view from her 5th floor balcony is wonderful. I would have coffee out there and journal as the sun came up. The Metro (line 9) is a half a block from the apartment and was extremely convenient. The brasserie/cafe on the corner served delicious food and was open early to late. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby to check out. I could have easily stayed longer than the 8 nights!
Claire's place was very clean and just like the pictures. The bed was softer than the futon and pull out couch so the sleeping accommodations can work for any comfort level. I liked having a separate toilet from the shower area. It gave us girls more space to get ready. The building is quiet and the windows shut out any street noise when closed. Paris is a magical city and I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Claire's again in the future!
