Thank you Claire for making me feel welcome in your home.
I was sorry that I was running late and in my haste I forgot to let Claire know that I would not be able to check in at the original arranged time. Claire was understandably annoyed at this. Unfortunately Claire also did not see my sms message saying that I would be further delayed. Claire was understanding of the situation when I arrived at her place. I noticed sometimes my WhatsApp messages did not appear to be received by Claire immediately, I pointed this out to her and she thanked me for letting her know.
In terms of the accommodation, it is very close to several metros and Canal St Martin, and has the charm of an older Paris apartment tastefullly furnished with art and decor. Thank you Claire for letting me do my laundry and use your coffee machine! It is also a relatively quiet area of Paris and an interesting neighbourhood to be in. Thank you Claire for the stay :)
