Claire was a wonderful host, and the apartment was perfect for us. We are a family of 5, with three boys ages 9,11,and 14. There was plenty of room for us. The weather was extremely hot when we were there, and luckily there are 2 a/c units. The location is great as there are many cafes and markets very close, and the metro stations are a short walk. Keep in mind that there is no elevator, and the apartment is on the 5th floor. Claire is very clear about this in her posting, so we expected it, and it wasn’t a problem. We also felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the apartment. Staying here was a great way to experience Paris with the family.
