We had a pleasant stay at Claire's apartment (7 nights). The apartment is large enough to fit 3 or 4 people comfortably, and comes with the essentials (towels, linen, electric iron, cutleries and dishes, etc.). Claire was a kind and attentive host; she even got us a brand new hair-dryer and a replacement for the toaster when this broke down. We had zero problems with check-in and check-out. NB: There is no washing machine in the apt, nor toiletries--bring your own. Excellent WIFI. No breakfast provided but there is a very good boulangerie just around the corner. The neighbourhood is *very* nice and safe, and well connected to downtown via metro 9 and RER C. Plenty of shops and restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The apt is also *extremely* quiet and easy of access (at the ground floor on an inner yard, in a very quiet street). The only downside of the apt is that it gets very little sunshine and feels rather damp--on the bright side, we had no trouble sleeping even during the warmest nights!
