I was very pleased with my stay at Catherine & Laurin's beautiful Montmartre apartment. They did their best to make it truly feel like home. Catherine welcomed us in person and gave us a robust introduction to the neighborhood via maps and resources she made available to us within the house. The apartment was beautifully presented as seen in the photos and was very spacious and well-appointed with lots of goodies for our use and consumption including a great bottle of white wine, coffee, espresso, tea, bottled water, etc.
We were quite comfortable and pleased throughout our stay, and even when my fellow guest was unfortunately bitten by a bedbug in the sofa bed, Catherine & Laurin responded urgently by removing and cleaning the linens and exterminating the bed and livingroom though no other bedbugs or evidence of others remained after the incident. We were bedbug-free for the remainder of our stay.
The apartment is located in a marvelous neighborhood and is very close to 2 metro stations and multiple key bus lines. We walked a lot because many restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and pharmacies are within 1-2 blocks. This was a huge plus!
Lastly, during our stay there was the unfortunate terrorist attacks on November 13th. Though we wee alarmed, we felt very secure within the apartment and were comforted by Catherine checking in via phone to ensure our safety.
Catherine & Laurin were overall phenomenal hosts. Their personal touches and courtesies were greatly appreciated and added much value to our stay. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone in search of a true "home in Paris" :)
