Hallo,
Claudia is kind, friendly and a very good Hostfamily. We enjoyed our stay and she was always ready to help us with tips regarding our visit in Paris. Breakfast was always served fresh from the bakery. There was also different types of fruits to eat.
The house is well connected to Paris and Disneyland. She has a good balcony and garden to relax after a tiresome day.Wish you all a nice stay with Claudia and the family.

Hi Hellen,
Thanks a lot, we've also enjoyed to have you staying with us and wish you all the best!May 2017
Claudia is an incredible host. She is always helpful and happy to share information with you. For me, that my stance was long, I can realice that the internet doesn't work well, and that was very important to me because school and to keep in touch with my family. Also she saids she will include you a small breakfast and in my case it wasn't. The house it's not clean at all, there is a lot of spiders.
It's a good option if your stance is short. The house is well connected but is not in Paris, you will make around 30 min to get over there.Host reply
Hi Michelle, thanks for your review and it was nice to have you with us! Unfortunately, the spiders can't be avoided in a house with a garden and regarding breakfast, I've told you about that as I had given you a very important discount! Even our standard prices are much lower than rooms within Paris, so that should help to accept the 10 min by bus to get to the nearest metro station and your school was on the other side of the city, so even when staying inside Paris, it can take 30 min to cross it... I've invited you many times to enjoy meals with us, but you've always preferred to stay in your room to chat with your family over the internet which worked fine except for one moment when the line had a problem, it wasn't our Wifi! Wish you all the best!

I stayed at Claudia's house last summer, 57 nights, for learning French at a summer school in La Sorbonne-Paris University. It was a wonderful experience to practice French with Claudia and her daughters, watch French TV shows and children movies, taking care of her cats, Tito and Caramel, together. And most of all, Claudia's cuisine is wonderful! I was always happy to join with Claudia's guests and had a nice meal with them:) Light breakfast is served and it is delicious.
On the other hand, if you are a single girl traveling or studying in Paris and having concerns over your security, Claudia's neighborhood is culturally diverse but still a nice, safe (sweet) neighborhood. You might want to go back home before it gets dark because a) it is not safe for a single girl to hang out at night no matter in which country b) the bus schedule will be reduced to 1time/per hour after 8:00 pm, which means that if you miss the bus you will have to wait for another hour. Therefore, If you want to watch a ballet show/ a theater play/ dine at a restaurant at night, these conditions might restrain your experience in Paris.

Dear Arianna, thank you for your nice review and it was a great pleasure to have you with us last summer! You're interested in many things, so we had a lot of topics to discuss, which I've enjoyed a lot!
Regarding the bus, it is only after 10pm that there are 3 buses per hour and 2 per hour after 11pm till 1am (or 2am on Fridays and Saturdays). After that, there are night buses running every hour from the city center to our area. And with Uber Pool, it costs only 10-15€ to get back here if you'd like to be home quickly after a late night event!
Warm regards, Claudia

I really loved this experience, the best I have had so far! I spent 3 nights in Paris. Claudia is lovely person, very helpful. She lives in a big house with terrace together with her girls and three cute cats :) She gave me so many information how to spend free time in Paris, so many tips I didnt received even in any information centre.
You will feel like at home with Claudia. I highly recommend her as ýour host!July 2016
Claudia is wonderful! She helped us with navigating the metro and advice on sightseeing! She is so welcoming- we felt like family! We would go stay with her again and would recommend her to anyyone! Her English is fantastic- can't say enough positive things about her- she is great! Her place is outside Paris and requires a metro ticket and a bus ticket, but the welcoming environment and advise, as well as the French culture we experienced living with her made it more than worth it!

Claudia friendly and helpful and accomodation quiet and private. The distance out of Paris centre taught me lots about bus and metro use. My days were full, out and about all day, making the most of my time in Paris despite the unusually very wet weather.

I stayed for 4 nights in Claudia's home, a week ago, and it was such a special experience. It was my first time in Paris and who to better acquaint me of Paris and the culture but Claudia. Claudia gives you tips on where to do and what to do. Pushes you to know Paris in a tourist and local's eyes. Claudia's family is warm and very open to new people and sharing culture and experiences! The fresh warm baguettes and morning coffee is a cherry on top too! Thank you Claudia and will definitely visit again!

The stay with Claudia and her family was wonderful and i liked it alot. She is very helpful and her house is near from the metro line 9, you juz have to take a bus to reach the metro station. Also her light breakfast was good and i enjoyed it before leaving for the city every morning. I would recommend all to stay at her place as it is near from the centre and also reasonable than the hotels in the city centre.

La experiencia fue muy buena.Claudia siempre fue muy amable y me ayudo en todo lo que necesite con respecto a mi estancia. Se esforzo siempre por entenderme, puesto que yo no hablo frances y tampoco hablo ingles.
