A miniature paradise in the centre of Paris !
I booked our stay at Catherine's apartment as a surprise for my Girlfriends birthday and we couldn't have had a better more romantic place to stay for a long weekend than in this stunning little apartment. Catherine's place is about as Parisian as you could imagine, picture postcard perfect. With her eclectic mix of art and little objects scattered across the walls of her apartment there's always somewhere for the eye to travel and find something of interest. It's a really inspiring place with a gorgeous Juliet balcony to stand and look out at the Parisian rooftops, little courtyard below and the huge old tree that lives there. The only thing that could make the experience of staying here anymore interesting and inspiring would be to have Catherine herself there with you the whole time! She genuinely is one of the kindest and interesting people you could meet. Really helpful, giving you suggestions of bakeries, restaurants and bars in the area and generally just being lovely. We'd love to see her again let alone her beautiful apartment.
The practical bits are all covered, the flat is presented perfectly clean and tidy with everything you need. The flat is on the 4th floor and you do use the stairs but that's not a bad thing really considering you're probably eating your weight in pastry each day so the extra climb helps make up for that ! The area is great, the street is a quiet haven from the madness of the river and yet you are literally in the centre of everything. Minutes from the river, Notre Dame and Saint German's sights along with great food and drink right on your door step.
I'll stop writing this as I could go on forever but basically we couldn't recommend this place enough we had a perfect long weekend.
Thank you Catherine
