Catherine was really kind and allowed us an early check-in. Her place is in a quiet street of the very lively, posh and well known St. Germain / Odeon area.
It is a real home and not a rental space run by an agency, which is so often the case these days. Thus, expect all the perks of a real home - personal touches and personal items, lived in feeling and a genuine warmth in the walls of the home. At the same time, it isn't a home for young families and kids, there are lots of delicate items and knick-knacks around, the bathroom is tiny (this IS Paris, after all!) and you have to go up a fleet of beautiful old stairs. We absolutely adored our stay and Catherine was kind enough to arrange an extra night in the apartment when my boyfriend erroneously booked our train to our next destination a day later than expected.
I would happily stay here again!! Character, warm and LOCATION!!
