Carlos's place was great! It's an incredible deal for a great apartment, an unbeatable view, and proximity to everything. Public transit is nearby and you can walk to the Arc in 15 minutes. There's an excellent view of the Arc from the wonderful balcony where we often sat and drank wine, and if you lean just slightly over the edge, you can see the Eiffel Tower! The apartment is a small but comfortable studio with all the amenities you need for a short or long stay. The bed was comfortable, the A/C worked well (even during a heatwave), and the kitchen is fully equipped. Although this apartment is small by U.S standards, it's actually not by Parisian standards, and is bigger than most hotel rooms. It's on the top floor of the building so it is quiet and the views are unobstructed. There's a small elevator for getting to the floor just below the apartment. Although Carlos does not speak English and we do not speak French, we had no problem communicating with him. He was very responsive and kind. We highly recommend this place!
