Clara's rental apartment is very well located, in the central zone of Paris with great transport links. The bedrooms are spacious and bed comfortable. Well equipped kitchen - everything you could need. We were five adults and for a pied a terre in Paris is was ideal. We walked from central most days, but the bus from outside the front door was also ideal. Lots of bars, cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets very near by. The entrance is indeed shared with the Host, and we could hear the host in the kitchen, but this was a small price to pay for what was a very good value apartment.
