Location, location, location!! Rue Cler the perfect authentic home base for a stay in Paris and Florent's flat provides an authentic home experience as one could want! The herringbone floors, the balcony and view onto the street...I could go on and on. We enjoyed sitting at the wonderful brasserie below and watching the families go about their daily routines. We even got to know the dogs by the end of our stay! The bed was comfy. The kitchen was modern, bathroom was traditional bathtub with the partial glass "curtain" and the clothes washing machine worked great. I was concerned about what others mentioned about the lobby being under construction but it was totally safe and wrapped with plastic. The elevator was new and had enough space for one person and a roller suitcase/hand baggage. As others said the decor is not exactly as the photo but we found it better than the photos. Tastefully decorated accent walls but none of the plants and personal effects shown in the photos...so a think a clean palette. Overall highly recommend!
