First of all, the location is the best. Le Marais is central, fun, charming and not touristy. Claude was warm and welcoming and even allowed us to check in early. The apartment is lovely and stylish, but it is a shared space with Claude. We were aware of that, but thought her bedroom would be closed off. Instead she sleeps in an open loft directly over the living room and kitchen. This meant we could not use the common areas later at night without disturbing her. My daughter tried to read at night in the living room when she couldn't sleep and didn't want to wake me, but her light bothered Claude. Other than that it was a perfect place for us. The washing machine in our bathroom was a much appreciated bonus.
