Caroline's place was lovely. I felt home away from home - comfortable bed, sound system for music, balcony to relax after a long productive day. Her apartment was actually bigger than I expected. The neighborhood was convenient and safe for a solo traveler - across the street from the subway, and plenty of cafe's/restaurants/supermarkets and boulangeries.
I didnt get to meet Caroline but she was very responsive and accommadating. We stayed in touch before and throughout my stay.
Thanks a lot!
