Just got back from a nice stay in Paris. Carol was very easy to communicate with, and tried to be helpful with our early arrival. This is like staying at your friends house, not a mini hotel Airbnb. The beds were comfortable, the coffee maker worked great and the kitchen appeared to have all the necessary equipment (we did not cook during the stay). As mentioned in other reviews, the shower was larger which is a plus. The location is great, with several grocery stores, restaurants and bakeries nearby. The Metro is steps from the door. There are pharmacies within the block making it easy to get a COVID test to return home. All of the starter basics were there: shampoo, soap, etc. A few additional hand towels would've been nice. We were confused about a check in request to clean, as we were charged the cleaning fee. Picking up, taking out trash, etc. is expected, deeper cleaning is not.
The only challenge of the nice apartment is the upstairs neighbor. They are loud, there is no getting around it. It's a happy child, who runs. A lot. With earplugs it was manageable to sleep, but if you are trying to work and tele conference, it was difficult.
