My three adult children and I had a really good stay at Katell's place! The location was perfect for us- very quiet (even with windows open) and safe and a nice walk to la Siene river and Notre Dame area, and easy metro lines close by. The walk up the stairs was not a problem for us and we enjoyed the challenge! There are restaurants and a market and grocery near by. The apartment is lovely and bright with a funky use of space. The bed was comfortable, with nice linen and the couch and foamy were fine for my sons! The kitchen had all we needed and the shower was great! There is no washing machine or toaster or extra appliances other than a kettle, but we weren't bothered. We bought toilet paper and kleenex and some basic food items-tea, coffee, oil, vinegar etc. The towels are plentiful and plush and there was soap and shampoo. Our host was there to greet us and show us the basics of the apartment and then we were all set for a wonderful week in Paris. Thank you again Katell for offering this lovely apartment to us travellers! Warmest regards, Barbara
