Although Claudia wasn't able to meet us in person, she made extra sure that we got to her apartment and knew how to work everything from the locks to the heat and washer. The apartment is surrounded by great bakeries and multiple grocery stores; the neighborhood is easily accessed with the metro yet is perfectly set away from the center of the city on a quieter street. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, she even left us champagne for New Year's Eve, coffee for our stay, and lavender sachets from Provence to take home. Claudia was very friendly, helpful, and communicative and I recommend this apartment for your stay in Paris!
