Carole was an excellent hostess who greeted us warmly and showed us around the studio as well as providing useful local knowledge. She was available if we needed anything but did not intrude at all. The studio, as others have said, is just as it appears on the photos- nicely presented, full of history, warm and ideally equipped for a couple. It is situated off picturesque inner courtyards & was very quiet. The location was perfect both for the Metro and for walking into the city. The area has lots of shops, bars and restaurants and we felt safe at all times. Thank you once again Carole, for making this a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable stay for us!
