Caroline had great communication with us. She's very sweet. She even let us come in early, and let us use her power adapter (bring one of these if you don't have one!). At first, though, we did feel like we were in the way, and felt bad, but I think that was because we arrived a little earlier than we had originally told her. But her place is great! A small Parisian apartment in the heart of it all. It's a pretty basic stay: your own bedroom, a shared living space, and shared shower/bathroom. It's a quick walk to the Louvre Museum and many other great spots. We didn't get to spend much time with Caroline, so we weren't really able to get suggestions for things to do around the area, and there weren't any pamphlets or materials about the area provided to us (which is totally OK), so we explored on our own.

Since we were jet-lagged the first night, we slept in a bit, to the point where her cleaning person was unable to clean our room. We felt bad about this, but she hadn't told us a specific time to be out of the room for the cleaning. We offered to change the bed sheets ourselves the next day, but she said it was OK and that she would do it.

Overall a good experience! Can't beat the location, especially for a first-time Paris visitor. Thanks Caroline!
