We had an excellent stay at Claude's apartment for our three day stay in Paris. It is in an amazing location just a short walk to many restaurants and attractions. Centre Pompidou is less than a kilometre away and there are two metro stations very close by, L'Arts et Metier and Strasbourg/St. Denis which is on the main line from Gard du Nord train station. The apartment was spacious, with high ceilings and all the ammenties you need. The shower temperature and pressure was awesome! There is a working air conditioner which we needed because the temperature ranged from 25 to 31 degrees on the days we were there. It is a little noisy so if you need total quiet (like myself) to fall asleep bring some ear plugs! The apartment itself is in a very quiet location away from the main streets which we really enjoyed. I would highly recommend Claude's place. We would definitely stay there again!
