Carole's place is great, and she was a very helpful hostess. Her apartment is on a quiet street a little bit away from the center of things, which my husband and I loved because we wanted to have a place to really rest at the end of the day. It's very cozy and peaceful there - perfect for two people. And...the bed is comfy! The 11th is a great arrondissement - a lot of stuff is going on there, and we used the bus and metro (which are a two minute walk from her house) frequently.
She was very gracious - left us a lot of helpful information about the neighborhood and good restaurants to eat at. She also let us know that we could contact her anytime if we needed anything.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone because the price/location combination is hard to beat.
