We stayed for a month and the apartment was perfect for our needs. Carole is a wonderful host - met us the day we all arrived and responded immediately when needed. She even helped one of us arrange a doctor’s appointment and escorted her to the clinic. There were five of us off and on throughout the month and the space worked well. Although the kitchen is small, we cooked breakfast most mornings as well as a few dinners. There are two bathrooms, two toilets and a washer and dryer plus a table that extended to accommodate meals and a workspace, plus a good Internet connection for those of us that needed to connect to work. I was worried about the steps since they had been mentioned in other reviews, but they weren’t an issue for us (and we are in our 60s and 70s). The courtyard is nice and quiet. The location is near to good bakeries, restaurants and the metro. A month is a long time to stay anywhere that is not your home, but we had a great time. And after all, it is Paris! Thanks Carole.
