The apartment is very comfortable, exactly as it appears in the photos, and Caroline is the perfect hostess. Caroline was in touch before my arrival to be sure that I knew exactly how to get to the apartment, etc., and she was available throughout my stay in case I needed anything. When I arrived, she greeted me warmly and then explained how everything worked (oven, washing machine, etc.), suggested neighborhood restaurants, and generally made sure that I was comfortable. A day or two after my arrival, Caroline checked in to ask if I needed anything from her. The apartment is well located, very close to the Jardin du Luxembourg, and a pleasant walk to the Louvre or the Musee d'Orsay. I had a lovely stay -- quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen. Unfortunately, however, on my last day I somehow injured my hip, and on the morning of my departure it seemed impossible to manage the RER. I called Caroline to ask if there was a taxi stand nearby. She asked if she could order a taxi for me, which she did. Without her help, I do not know how I could have made it to the airport. In summary, a wonderful apartment with an incredibly thoughtful and gracious hostess!
