This is one of those place where you doubt whether it is wise to recommend it on this page, because you want to keep the secret to yourself! But never mind. Carole's place is the best we have ever stayed at in Paris. And my wife and I have often visited the city. It really is a quiet place in the heart of a bustling city. The location is great near classic Paris Avenue Beaumarchais and close to the Marais. There is a Vélib station nearby. The inventory and space inside is way, way better than the pictures suggest. We never travel lightly, but we could easily store everything. It is safe. And Carole and her mother were the perfect hosts. We absolutely loved it!!!!!!!
