Carlos's flat was the perfect base for my first visit to Paris. I love to explore on foot, and I was able to walk everywhere – from the Eiffel Tower to Luxembourg Gardens, from Le Marais to the Left Bank. Cafes, brasseries, and restaurants are plentiful in the neighbourhood, so I was never more than a couple of minutes from great food and coffee.
The flat is cozy and lovely. I loved being on the top floor, looking out the windows at the rooftops. It was exactly what I imagined Paris would look like.
Carlos was a wonderful host – very gracious and communicative. He was kind enough to let me check in a couple of hours early, and very patient with me when I had minor struggles using the key. (I blame jetlag. ;)
Overall, I would definitely recommend Carlos's place for solo travellers or couples who want to have a real central Paris experience.
