Location is walking distance to the Arc de Triomphe. Restaurants, shops, ATM, parking spaces and subway are all around the area. This is definitely in the center of it all. This building is charming with its old fashion elevator and architecture. In fact the whole neighborhood is beautiful with rooms all having balconies. I feel very safe here. Catherine also is very warm and welcoming. My husband and I felt like we were visiting a dear friend ! You get to meet her cutie cat Abaddon, too. What a memorable time we had in Paris ! It was also the time when the Notre Dame had burned but thankfully we were able to visit the church prior to the incident. Definitely unforgettable !
