The apartment is in a very good location and just 3-5 mins walk from Gare Du Nord. There are several restaurants and other places nearby as well.

though the apartment was small, it was organized well and for the 3 nights, we were very happy with kids having their own bedroom. one more bath would have been ideal when a family stays.

Also, a few hooks to hang the clothes etc would have been good. we were a family of 4 (2 kids) and clothes had to be left around the place.

we can cook, wash clothes and pretty much live like we do at home. Catherine has been kind to let us use the kitchen, bathroom, washing supplies as well (this can be a big pain otherwise to run around and buy stuff when we are already pressed for time)

Catherine was not available during the time of our stay but she organized someone to help set us up. she was also available on SMS through out for any questions.

a short help description (in the welcome note on the table) to setup/change the heater, use washing machine would also be helpful.

overall, the place is great and i would definitely recommend it to all travelers - family with kids would also love the private spaces. my rating is 5 stars for this place.
