Catherine's apartment is fabulous. The location is outstanding and the view can't be beat. The space was extremely clean and everything worked perfectly, including the Wi-Fi. I appreciated both the natural morning light and the abundance of lamps placed through out the apartment; I was able to read or work anyplace I desired, and on even the chilliest of days I was warm, dry, and comfortable. I rarely heard other people in the building and found the place to be quiet and restful, though there is rush hour noise from the streets five floors below. So much of Paris is available by walking from this address, which was a bonus during the strikes; I rarely felt that anything was out of reach. The kitchen was well stocked with most anything you would need to prepare meals plus a number of grocery stores and shops were minutes away.
