My wife and I spent a wonderful week in October in Carole's home/apartment located in a grand old building on Boulevard Saint-Germain. The apartment is beautifully designed and feels like a home. It is everything as described and more. As to location, it is within walking distance of the Louvre and Notre Dame, and many outstanding West Bank restaurants and Metro. Carole is also very good at communicating and a gracious and accommodating host. Be sure to make reservations at some of the restaurants she recommends as she knows the neighborhood and we were very pleased with her suggestions. We had a memorable stay and hope to return in the near future. You will not be disappointed!
