Thank you so very much for everything! Claire's location could not be beat, and we felt very, very safe despite being a bit nervous to travel after the riots we saw in the news. Claire's constant, quick communication was a blessing and made us feel safe, well informed, and well attended. Know that no paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, etc) are included, and just plan to bring them from home in case traveling on a holiday where stores will be closed like we were. The stairs were small and more ladder - like so I was glad we were traveling without my parents, because it would have been harder for them to navigate but we (and kids) were fine. Bulky luggage would have been hard to take upstairs easily. Claire's home is tidy, well located and convenient to bakery, shops, cafes, Monoprix, Metro, and while near all of this -- it's on a back, more secluded street that is quiet and night and feels very safe to walk around in the neighborhood even after dark. Could not have asked for a better location (15th arr.) or a warmer host or a faster communicator! =)
