Cozy perfectly sums up Carole's flat - snug, warming, homely and a lovely place to return to of an evening.
Carole was welcoming, friendly, helpful and efficient, and her restaurant recommendations were perfect. We had no need of any further assistance but she was at pains to say that we could contact her at any time and she would help out.
The area of Paris is perfect if you want to experience the city beyond the tourist traps - although they're very accessible. We've done the usual landmarks and wanted to relax away from the crowds, for which Carole's flat could hardly have been better.
Breakfasts and nightcaps on the balcony were thoroughly enjoyable - it's not quiet but it's Paris flowing below you, and when you close the French windows it's serene.
