This is a fabulous space. It was perfect for my daughter and I. We loved the location as well...after exploring Paris, I don't think there is a better spot. Catherine is a great host. .. very easy to communicate with. It was quite warm on our days in Paris but being on the 1st floor and having a large fan made it comfortable. There is a bar right across the street. ..but personally, we loved hearing the activity around us and seeing the neighborhood come alive. I will add we always felt safe a well. There is a lock pad on the complex entry and the door to the stairwell in directly inside of that. All good!
