I loved this cozy little place. If you want to experience France and not just the more manufactured touristy destinations, this is where you want to stay. The apartment itself is beautiful in an old interesting soulful Parisian way. It is a typical old French apartment building, gorgeous huge doors at the entrance. Somewhat more upscale fancier apartments in the front, and then you walk through a courtyard, and into a less fancy part (to say the least) of the building. Which is beautiful and interesting in it's own right. A tiny little very French elevator takes you up to your apartment, at the top there is just one more floor you must walk up to get to your place. It is quiet, very rarely did I see anyone else in the hallways, a quiet neighborhood as well, with the exception of some traffic sounds in the morning- no tourists here, just French life. Very close to the apartment, maybe a 5 minute walk is a sweet little circle with many cafes, stores, banks, a Boulangerie (bakery) and a metro stop that can take you anywhere in Paris. Extremely easy to navigate. There is a market within easy walking distance with fresh produce and some interesting characters which opens on Wednesday and Saturdays. Carolina, was very responsive to my questions and I was easily able to extend my stay when I requested it. Carolina also offers transportation from the airport, which made the whole thing so easy and stress free. The apartment is small, but comfortable with a skylight and one small window which offers a beautiful view of the landscape of Parisian rooftops, probably no big deal for those that live there, but stunning in my opinion.
