Catherine was absent during our trip to Paris, so unfortunately my boyfriend and I did not get to meet her. However she tried her best to make sure we were taken care of. We were instead checked in by her friend who was really understanding when our flight was delayed and she had to wait to let us into the apartment for over an hour.
The space was great and comfortable. The floors however, were dirty- needed a vacuum- and the bed was unmade and missing a pillowcase so we needed to use a t-shirt to cover the pillow. There was also only one full sized towel and the other was the size of a bath mat.
The location is excellent- 5 minutes walk to Gare de Lyon. Along the street is also a market every morning with local produce as well as clothing/knick-knacks and everything is cheap. Well priced restaurants also line the area.
