Carole and Alex's apartment was a wonderful place to stay and enjoy Paris for 4 of us in Dec. It had everything we needed to feel at home while traveling. The location was close to several Metro stops and we easily walked to the river area several times without the Metro. There were 2 Food Market stores just a block away so we could pick up groceries and prepare our breakfasts usually each day before we ventured out to see the wonderful sites of Paris.
