Catherine has a wonderfully large apartment located a short distance from George Brassens Parc. If you are looking for a very large space that is also a good value, this is it.
Pros:
-Great communication from Catherine and her son. Very nice people.
-Large kitchen, great for cooking
-Wonderfully diverse neighborhood
-Bright and sunny with a terrace
-Close to several grocery stores (1 - 5 minute walk) and 2 metro lines (8 - 10 minute walk). There are also a few buses that run nearby, but I did not take them
-Ladies: MORE FULL-LENGTH MIRRORS THAN YOU WILL EVER NEED!!
-Powerful water pressure in the shower. It's fabulous.
May or may not be deal-breakers:
-Ladies: If you need a good hair dryer, you may want to bring your own. During my visit, half of the available one was missing (although it did spit out some air).
-The construction of a new building next door started each day at 8am. If you want to sleep past this time, it will be impossible. From what I can tell, this construction will be going on for many, many months.
-If you are over 5 ft. 7 inches (or 1.7 meters), your feet will probably hang off the bed in the main bedroom. However, the pull-out couch in the living room is quite comfortable!
Again, I cannot stress enough what a good value this apartment is, especially if you need the space. Thank you Catherine!
