Carole was an incredible host. At all times communication with Carole was easy, she responded immediately to texts and emails and she did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable, including having a bottle of Moet as a welcome drink for us. Carole respected our privacy and was also available at all times should we need her.

We stayed at Carole's place for 16 nights, I was in Paris with my partner and 12 week old baby. Given the baby is so young, we spent a lot of time in the apartment. The apartment is really very beautiful, Carole has exceptional taste and you feel like you are staying in an apartment straight from "Vogue Living". The apartment is very big, with high ornate ceilings, there are two large bedrooms, a beautiful bathroom and stunning lighting. Carole kindly put the central heating on for us, as I was up feeding the baby at all hours, it was really very cosy and comfortable.

The area is fantastic. Lot's of great cafe's, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and the local market are all very close by. Palais de Congres / Porte Maillot metro station is 100 meters away, you can get to anywhere in Paris very quickly and with convenience. I had a conference in the Opera, it took me 15 minutes by train to get there. Marais is on the same subway line, we went there for lunch very quickly and with ease. We had a car for a few days, it was easy to find paid street parking.
