The location of this apartment is fantastic. There are great coffee places, bakeries, restaurants, etc near by. If you stay at Claude's place you are in close proximity to all attractions and you don't need to take the train. Really quick walk to The Louvre, NotreDame, Marais, St Germain, etc. The apartment is super clean and very updated, not only does it have a washer but also a dryer, which is not common in Europe. Highly recommend it!
