We had a great time at Carole's apartment. We always rely on Velibs' bike rentals so it was great to have a station on the street below the apartment. This was our 5th apartment stay in Paris, and we have had lots of experiences -- toilets in strange places, rooms much smaller than expected based on photos, ceilings falling down, multiple service visits during our stays, etc. -- frankly, we have grown to expect this and know apartments in the historic areas of Paris can be temperamental -- so it was truly wonderful to have a lovely place with beautiful views and no surprises! We would definitely stay here again!
