Carole is a super welcoming and generous host. The apartment is very clean and roomy with a nice size kitchen which has all the appliances you need. Carole is happy to let you use her own food such as coffee, oil etc. which can be a godsend if you are only staying a short time and do not want to do a big supermarket shop. Otherwise you'll find every kind of shops nearby. If you don't fancy cooking there are any number of restaurants within a short walking distance. One of my favourite ones is Marty, in the Avenue des Gobelins.
The shower is large with good water pressure and the bed is very comfortable.
The apartment overlooks a quiet courtyard, so you forget you are in the centre of Paris. You do tend to get some noise in the morning from the children in the flat above, but it's only a problem if you want to lie in.
The location is ideal for sight-seeing as it is close to an underground station and several bus routes. The underground system is efficient and very cheap.
All in all I had an excellent week long stay at the end of August.
