Kat's place is a great place to stay. It is a delightful place in which to spend time - large windows onto a quiet courtyard. There are many great stores just within steps of the apartment - an excellent cheese shop, bakery, bucher, fish shop, Italian delicatessan and great restaurants. There is also a twice weekly market at the end of the street. As well, the metro is close by as is the Jardin de Luxemburg. It does have stairs - 60 - but they are the shallow Parisien type so pass by very quickly and it is a lovely way to work off some of the excess from the croissants. We would definitely stay there again. Joanne and Gord
