My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Helena-Claire's apartment. The location is a 5 minute walk to the Metro, restaurants' and boulangerie just outside the main entrance to the apartment. Paris is a very busy city with lots of traffic but when we returned to the apartment in the evenings, it was nice and quiet as the apartment faces the inner courtyard. The place itself is as pictured, small but so well organized and a kitchen with all the modern conveniences. During our stay there were a few transportation strikes - this was not an issue as Claire was wonderful to give us forewarning so we planned accordingly. Communication was excellent!! I would LOVE to stay in this apartment on our return visit to Paris!
