Unfortunately our stay wasn't great. The location is fantastic and the check-in - helpfully assisted by Caroline's lovely cleaner - was good.
Beyond that, it's hard for us to recommend the place.
The room is small, even by Parisian standards, and tricky to navigate with two guests. And despite the rest of the apartment being big, we found there was very little space made available for us. Example: only half the dining table was clear for eating, the rest was covered in Caroline's things.
Most people will want to eat out - but as French guests, having access to space in the kitchen was important. Unfortunately absolutely zero space was made available - with the fridge crammed full (some of which looked like it had gone bad). This is despite the kitchen being listed as available for use.
We felt like we were in the way the whole time as there was no space made available for us.
We ended up having the space to ourselves for two out of three nights.
Unfortunately though, the weather was really hot (no one's fault!) and the tortoise that resides in a tub in Caroline's bathroom seemed to suffer for it. Firstly, the tortoise should be mentioned in the listing. Secondly, pretty soon the water went bad and smelt - and the poor tortoise seemed quite hungry and agitated. We would have liked to have helped, but no instructions were left with us.
Finally, we ran into some transport problems on the day we were due to check-out. We spent the morning organising a fix, and arrived back at Caroline's place at 10:30 - half an hour before check-out. We asked to be able to take quick showers, but we were told by Caroline that she needed the bathroom (that's fair enough) and that we were "not allowed to mess anything up". Given we were tidy and respectful the whole stay, we felt that was much less fair. We do not recommend to stay here.
