All of the other wonderful reviews are accurate! Carole is an exceptional host. Check-in was smooth, and she even had stocked the fridge with a few things to get me started. She has gone out of her way to help me get settled here in Paris. The apartment is great, well equipped and in a convenient part of Paris for getting around (close to Nation, where you can catch several metro lines and access the commuter rail.) Overall staying here has been a very good experience!
