My stay at Claire's exceeded all expectations from an Airbnb experience. On a practical level, the place is well located near stops on the lines 12 and 4, close to grocery stores, markets, bakeries, etc. It is also a pleasant walk up the back side of Montmartre, a walk which takes you past great restaurantsand bars. The apartment is stylish, was cool in the summer and well equipped with all you might need during your stay. Access to the kitchen and living room allowed for pleasant moments of repose. Claire was very generous with things in the kitchen and bathroom and even tried to help me with my phone situation when I first arrived. But staying with Claire was more than checking off a number of practical boxes- she is the type of host that wants to share words, ideas and experiences with the people around her. Her welcome was by far the warmest I have yet experienced, she was always inviting me out, as well as giving me tips about great places around Paris unknown by most tourists. Her energy warmth and curiosity make for a great vibe in and out of the apartment. With conversations running the whole spectrum, various soirées and meals together, my stay in Paris at Claire's place was one for the books. Merci Claire pour tout!
