Claude's place was gorgeous – simple, yet sophisticated. It's clear she has great taste, and the space is also quite functional. I enjoyed having multiple windows that opened up to the fresh air, as well as, plenty of space for working, eating, and relaxing. The location was superb. Even though it's in the middle of everything, it was so quiet due to its facing a courtyard.
Beyond the space, Claude was a tremendous host to me. When my baggage was lost by my airline, she helped me get it back, even talking on the phone with the deliveryman. She was very good (and fast) with communication, and was adequately present without being overbearing. Her flexibility with my check-out allowed me to run some errands and continue exploring the city before my evening flight.
For my next trip to Paris, this will be the first place I look to book.
