Catherine's apartment is perfectly located. I could not think of a better place to be in Paris! The apartment is a bit old and has its quirks...like all genuine parisian apartments! Having lived in the city before, I wasn't surprised and did not find anything to be problematic. People who are not used to apartments that are somewhat small and old may, on the other hand, find some little things annoying. The luxury here is very much the location: myriads of little shops to buy incredible wine, cheese, fruits and vegetables, bars, restaurants and cafes, and wonderful architecture to admire everywhere one goes.
