Overall, I had a very lovely stay in this apartment. There's just enough space for one or two people to be comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, and I especially loved the record player and collection of records, everything from classical waltzes to Frank Sinatra. The apartment is at the fourth floor so getting heavy bags up can be a hassle, but Catherine's husband was kind enough to carry my things up when I arrived. There was also a delicious bottle of wine waiting for me when I arrived. The location is also great - close to the place de Bastille, a short walk from the Marais and a 20-30 minute metro ride from most tourist destinations. The only couple drawbacks were that it was a bit hot to sleep at night, but if you open the windows, it gets a bit noisy. There was a small fan though and I slept pretty well with it on. The family also has a couple cats that come and go if you leave the windows open, so if you don't like cats or are allergic, that might be something to keep in mind. You can also just keep the windows closed. Overall, highly recommend this place!
