Pros: Clean and very well-located, fairly-priced if you are a deep sleeper and can deal with an uncomfortable bed
Cons: The sofa bed / futon is extremely uncomfortable and it is crooked, so both nights I felt like I was slipping sideways off the bed. The stove and oven in the kitchen are very difficult to work. The bedroom door does not shut all the way, which made the room feel not very private. Finally, I was under the impression that Carole lived alone, however, there was a man there and the first morning when I woke up and got ready for school, he was walking around in his underwear, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Overall : Although, Carole was friendly, it was not a comfortable stay and I wish I would have paid the extra amount for a hotel instead.
*I stayed at Carole’s apartment because I live in Tours (1 hour and a half away from Paris by TGV) but I go to university in Paris. Due to the strikes on the TGVs in France, I chose to rent an airbnb in Paris to get to and from school easier.
