Catherine's apartment is superb! It has every comfort imaginable, from gourmet kitchen equipment, a washer/dryer combo (rare in France)--every supply and staple that one might need. The apartment is also spacious for two people, with a comfortable sofa, upholstered chairs, separate bedroom, and a lovely balcony overlooking a garden. In addition, the apartment is extremely quiet--no noise from neighbors or traffic.
The location is very convenient, with supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, and other shops located right in the vicinity. The metro stop at Charles de Gaulle/Etoile is just a short walk away, and from there you can catch metro trains that transport you all over Paris, as well as the RER A to the suburbs (very convenient, as we were able to travel to visit my sister-in-law, who lives in the suburbs, in about 20 minutes).
Catherine was a great host--she immediately responded to questions, and offered many useful suggestions. Thank you Catherine, for our blissful stay at your apartment--we hope to return soon!
