Once I saw this listing on Airbnb, I could not rent any other apartment. The location, the character, the design aesthetic, all resonated with me. The apartment totally lived up to its description and other people's reviews: it is so centrally located to walk easily to many different destinations. I went jogging along the Seine and in the Luxembourg Garden, walked to the Marais every day for a class I was taking, and so many cool cafes, restaurants and shopping are all so close. I had one of the best meals ever at the restaurant in the building, Le Christine. Catherine's apartment is very spacious and comfortable, and very French. She has decorated it with so many interesting paintings, books, lighting and antiques that I soaked up all the character while I was there. I loved sleeping under the big skylight. It was a bit warm that week but not too bad with the windows open and the fans going. Thank you Catherine for sharing your beautiful space with me!
