What can I say about Caroline's place that hasn't already been said? When I left Paris after staying with Caroline and Bertrand I truly felt as if I was leaving friends. They welcomed me with hugs and conversation, invited me to have wine one evening and offered to lend me a jacket when it was colder than expected. I was a bit nervous about being in their way but they always made me feel like a visiting friend rather than someone they never met.
Everything about Caroline's space was as described, if not better. Caroline left out a darling (and yummy!!) place setting of juice, bread, and jam every morning. Access to the kitchen (and coffee!) was incredibly appreciated. The apartment is up five flights of stairs but there is an elevator. The loft area was spacious and the private bathroom was great. You do have to climb up a ladder of sorts to get to the loft, but it's not impossible. The set-up might be tough for a really tall individual due to low ceilings. Speaking of ceilings... the skylight in the bedroom has the best peek-a-boo view of the Eiffel Tower. I had to keep pinching myself.
All of Paris is literally steps outside the front door. The Monoprix is on the next block, Zara is just around the corner, the metro isn't far, and quintessential Left Bank sights are a short walk away.
If you are considering Caroline's place for your visit to Paris, stop what you are doing and book it immediately. You will not be disappointed. I can't recommend this Airbnb enough and I hope to return in the future.
