Carole was beyond FANSTASTIC -- warm, gracious, extraordinary helpful. The apartment is extremely tastefully done --Carole is a painter; the work in the photo is hers -- and all the amenities were as advertised, making for an exceptionally comfortable stay. Though we'd spent a good deal of time in Paris in the past, we were unfamiliar with the neighborhood, and it was a revelation; an up and coming district with a good many interesting shops.
