I really enjoyed my stay, the location was great and I loved that it's across from the park - really great park to walk around in! Really easy to take the metro to and from and lots of grocery shops and restaurants near by, also a short walk to the canal, too. I was so happy to learn that there was a kitten too, he was so sweet and playful. hehe, I miss him :) Monsieur Tromboline. Won my heart! Carole and her daughter are very kind and genuine. It may be helpful for some to know the toilette is in a separate room from the shower and sink, and the shower s quite tiny, like a half bath you climb into it, but totally doable (unless maybe you're really tall or bigger boned, I'm 5'6ish for ref) - you get the real classic Parisian apartment feel :). Also I discovered if you go stand sideways - facing the shower curtain, it's much easier! The room was a perfect size, the bed is comfy and I love the tall ceilings and big long windows - very great architecture, looking out into a courtyard. Carole and Lisa were both so welcoming and friendly, and helped make my stay very comfortable and relaxing. Oh and there's no bell, so, to all my fellow quiet knockers haha just knock louder when you arrive. Merci! It was great to get a taste of Paris!
