Carole is one of the best hosts I've encountered. Providing me with all and more than what is necessary for my stay (a huge plus!). She was there to assist whenever I'm in need - and whenever I needed someone to speak some French for me.

Located in Neuilly (which I surprisingly get a lot of compliments from), everything you need is within blocks. It's one of the cleanest and safest neighborhoods to be in.

I've made this space my home for the past 3 months. The apartment was just what I needed. Right when you walk in, you see a gorgeous old-parisian Hausmann-esque building. You walk through these massive doors and head to the courtyard, take the elevators up 6 floors. You heard me right, elevators on a 6 floor Parisian building!!

Brightly lit during the day, and peacefully quiet during the night. Bed is queen sized and incredibly comfortable. The shower is an open concept right behind the bed - super cool (look at image). Toilet is shared with others on the same floor out by the corridor. However, NO ONE else lives on the floor, so it's pretty much your own. She's also furnished the space beautifully. I still think there's not a studio apartment prettier than this during my entire stay in Paris.

The downside is that you'd only have a microwave oven and a mini fridge. Luckily, I do not cook. At all. I grab most of my ready-made meals from the grocery store (7 days a week) & M&S Foods at Palais Congres (a shopping mall - 3 minutes walk).

Subway station is literally a minute away from the apartment. The (1) Line at Porte Maillot takes you through the center of Paris. With transfers, you can get anywhere in Paris within 15 to 25 minutes. There's also a huge park Bois de Bologne about a 3 minute walk if you need some fresh air, or to jog.

Can't imagine living anywhere else in Paris! 5 gold stars!
