We had a last minute opportunity to go to Paris for a few days and stayed at Claude's place. He met us and explained how to use everything in the apartment. It is in a complex set back from the road so is not subject to noise from traffic. It has electric window blinds that can be closed and give you total darkness if you like to sleep late or go to bed early. There are 2 metro stops within a few hundred meters of the apartment. You can go to the "Nation" stop from "Avron" and have options of taking different lines to destinations all over the city. It was a good value for the price. Thank you Claude.
