Claudes place is very clean and basic. Older but has all the basic amenities including a TV and washing machine but no dryer. Though she has an amazing towel rack that heats up and dries your towels and possibly clothes. Her place is very safe and secure and her son is easy to get a hold of and speaks great english! Claudes place is only about ten min walk or so from the Metro and safe to walk to and from late at night. It is also close to places to eat and a shopping mall.
