We enjoyed our time at Catherine's apartment though there were a few elements of our stay that could have been improved. Catherine was very quick to respond to messages leading up to the trip. The building was very nice and had a working lift, and the apartment was spacious enough for our needs. The terrace was a lovely place to have breakfast in the mornings. Catherine kindly left us a bottle of wine and was generous in allowing us a late check-out. A few things to note however include that the only mirror in the place, which was a small one in the bathroom, had been taken down, making it hard to see yourself. The shower pooled water all over the bathroom as there was no door or lip to keep water in. A few of the dishes in the kitchen had quite a bit of black mold on them which was concerning. Also the pantry was not equipped with anything other than a teaspoon of old salt, so if you want to cook anything you have to buy all necessary basics (salt, pepper, oil, spices, condiments, etc.) The most negative aspect of our stay was that with just a day's notice, Catherine told us a realtor was going to be coming to the apartment in the afternoon to show it to clients. We had to put our plans on hold, tidy the place, and stay there while the strangers walked through the space. She surprised us by bringing by two separate groups of clients. Also, one evening we returned to the apartment to find a large credenza in the middle of the living room, meaning someone had let himself into the apartment to place it there, while our personal belongings were all laid out, including passports, money, and underwear. Nothing was ever said about that. Otherwise though we had a wonderful trip and appreciated having the place to stay.
