Carol's place was perfect. Quiet and cozy, but not far from the action. Chris met us with the key. He had some great tips about the place and made sure we knew how to reach him in case we needed anything. There is also a manual with some wonderful info about the neighborhood worth checking out. Just around the corner you have your choice of bakeries (#1 baguette in Paris for 2015!), cafes, pastry shops, wine stores, boutiques and so much more! The nearest metro stop is only a 5 minute walk. It is very well situated to be able to get around the city and still go back to a quiet room at night. The shower is great, wonderful water pressure. No need to bring your own hairdryer! It was excellent for my long hair, way better than a little hotel one! The mini fridge is perfect for keeping all the cheese you bought fresh and for cooling some wine bottles! The bed is comfortable and worked great for us. We tried the pullout and that was agreeable too. The stairs are not for the faint of heart, getting our luggage up and down wasn't a blast, but not bad at all empty handed. Paris is for walking, what's a few extra steps? All in all Carol's place has all the amenities you need for your home away from home in the city.
