What a perfect spot! My spouse and I stayed for 8 nights in Claude's home. It's exactly as pictured--a Parisian home. We had coffee and pastries on the balcony each morning. We slept peacefully in the quiet space every night. We enjoyed the carefully collected art on the walls.
Claude's home is in a wonderful location close to restaurants (we liked Cafe des Musees), shops (check out Divvino), the St. Paul and Chemin Vert Metro stations, and museums (Picasso around the corner). There are two parks on the block and three cafes for coffee, pastries and aperos.
The best part about Claude's home is the hostess. Claude greeted us at the door, despite an earlier-than-expected arrival. She gave us the history of the building and neighborhood where she lives. There's a folder of her favorite neighborhood spots and book about important buildings to read. We chatted about museums, food, urban planning, and our families. I can't wait to go back to Paris and when I do, I'll look forward to staying with Claude!
