Claire's place was exactly as advertised. The interior was spacious and had cute artisanal touches. Claire prepared some wine and fresh fruits and yogurts for our arrival, which was much appreciated. The beds were comfortable, and the apartment had lots of light (but great curtains in case you wanted to sleep in). The street out front can be a little loud at night when they are setting up for the market in the middle of the night, but it's very tolerable if you close all of the windows.
I've stayed in this neighborhood before and it's a great part of town. Very diverse, tons of good food. A little out of the way and not touristy at all. There is a market a few days a week right in front of the apartment.
