Carlos' place was AWESOME! We moved here from another apartment during a brutal summer heatwave. Most apartments do not have real air conditioning, but Carlos' place did and we were so grateful to have some respite from the heat. Also, there is a beautiful little terrace with a view of both the Arc de Triomphe AND thé Eiffel Tower! Modern appliances, all the toilet paper/paper towels you could need as well as cookware and utensils. Carlos was very patient with my limited French and spoke slowly to get us situated. The neighborhood is quiet and residential and I actually preferred that it was a little removed from all the touristy sections of the city. Plenty of restaurants and 3 grocery stores nearby. I will definitely stay at Carlos' place again (especially if it's during the summer, as air conditioning is such a a rare commodity in Paris). Merci mille fois Carlos!
