Claude was a fantastic host. Let us drop our bags early and off to discover Paris we went. He gave suggestions and answered all of our questions. The neighbors that we saw all appeared to be you g professionals. There was a comment about a bar across the street that we were actually looking forward to that had apparently moved on and been replaced with a furniture store. The street was very quiet at night. We never felt unsafe and I highly recommend that you make a left out the front door, at the corner make another left and walk down to the area that is blocked to traffic. Lots of restaurants. We ate at Aux Crus De Bourgogne - reasonable and delicious!
Highly recommend Claude and the apartment!!
