We spent more than a week in Carole's space and had a great time! Carole is a wonderful hostess and the location of the apartment could not be better. The apartment is central to everything in Paris-- bakeries, cafes, restaurants, grocery stores (including one on the rez de ch.) and shops. The apartment itself is very quiet thanks to the double windows and the fact that it overlooks a quiet side street. We had our breakfasts and some of our dinners at Carole's place which was nice. Communication with Carole was excellent and personal. The fact that she lives there is definitely a PLUS! We would love to stay at Carole's again!
