Carole's apartment is extremely comfortable and larger than most other Parisian apartments that I have stayed in. It's actually nicer in real life than in the pictures. And it has an elevator, another rarity in my experience.
The neighborhood has great bakeries, markets and take-away food places. It's close to the subway and Gare L'Est.
Carole was very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
This was a great find.
