Carole's apartment was the physical embodiment of what I have always dreamed of Paris to be! Where to start...located in the middle of the St. Germain neighborhood of Paris, we were close to everything we needed including- great cafe's, the metro station, a bus station, and a convenience store right next door. It was very spacious and an electronic key fob made access exceptionally easy. I felt very safe as the building itself has 3 secured and locked doors, before you reach the actual apartment. There were so many things we loved, small touches that combined to make our stay perfect- the balcony attached to the bedroom (which had a little table and chairs- perfect for sipping champagne and taking in the views); the towel warmers in the shower, the washer/ dryer (a HUGE plus because most of our clothes in our suitcase got wet on the journey from NYC), the unique hidden kitchenette (we didn't use it but would be a great place to cook breakfast in the morning), and the fact that Carole had electric plug adapters for us to use was extremely convenient and thoughtful as well. Overall we truly felt like we were at home. Carole had several suggestions on places to eat- we tried a few of them, as well as several guidebooks for exploring the City.
She was also very quick to respond to any questions and even offered to arrange a transfer to the airport for us. I will definitely be back and hope to stay at our "home in Paris" again one day. Merci Beaucoup, Carole!
