Carolina's apartment made for a great stay in Paris. It is very well located in a real neighbourhood, where you can easily shop for groceries. The butcher shop across the street is especially handy with lots of prepared foods, so you can have a home cooked meal without all the fuss. The apartment itself is clean, and spacious by Paris standards. You can walk to several great places in under half an hour including the Marais and the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Or hop on the metro at Goncourt (2 blocks away) to easily get anywhere. It was also really handy to be able to do laundry half way through our trip. I would highly recommend the apartment, especially if you are looking for a good home base in Paris where you can live like a Parisian and still enjoy all the sites. The one drawback is that it is on a busy street. It was a little loud in the morning with deliveries. It also has solid windows that keep most of the noise down.
