Marie Claire's place is in a wonderful part of Paris. So many cafes, shops, grocery stores, restaurants all within a short walking distance. I especially loved all the quaint, small, ethnic restaurants. Marie Claire's description is very accurate. Her apartment is very comfortable - great shower, comfortable bed and sofa bed, nice layout and design. Only drawbacks is that if you open the front curtains you don't have much privacy as people working in the studios on the other side can look in, but for the most part that doesn't matter. Also, if you are a really light sleeper I would recommend ear plugs as some people start work at 9am and I could hear the someone walking or the buzz of a drill, etc. It wasn't noisy, but I'm an exceptionally light sleeper. I highly recommend Marie Claire's place. Love the location and really enjoyed the apartment. Also, she has a friend managing the place who was great at getting back to us with any requests or questions. The apartment is well-maintained and was very clean. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and comfortable walking around at all hours.
