Carol's apartment is a fantastic little find in one of the best locations in Paris. Having stayed in a few different areas of Paris, I would strongly recommend staying in Le Marais - good Metro links (the apartment is less than 5 minutes from Rambuteau Metro station) and a wealth of bars and restaurants (a distant lack of tourist traps). The apartment whilst compact is finished to an impeccable standard and is kitted out with all modern conveniences including a wet room shower, which we loved. Check-in and check-out was easy and simple, with Carol even kindly letting us leave our luggage in the apartment on our day of departure. Overall a real slice of Parisian living - we will definitely be hoping to stay again!
