On a recent European vacation my friends and I stayed at the katia apartment. This apartment is one of 4 on the 2nd floor of a building located in a semi residential area, approx 4km from city center. The location is decent but due to terrible traffic conditions in Paris this is approx a 30 minute drive from any of the many attractions. Surrounded by ethnic restaurants and markets, delivery app was the option we chose for dining most nights. Nothing is walkable unless you are looking for fast food and Asian restaurants.
The apartment is one of 4 on the 2nd floor equipped with a lift. The walls are very thin and you do hear noises from neighboring apartments but this was not an issue for us.
The space is newly renovated and it is clean. We loved the heated towel bars in the bathrooms and the showers had powerful hot water.
The manager was very responsive to all questions and attentive to our requests.
If you’re seeking the quintessential Paris experience, this might not be the apartment for you but if you don’t mind a 30
Minute drive, you can’t beat the price
