Catherine's apartment was wonderful. It was not in the midst of the "tourist" attractions but close enough to either walk or use the metro to get to them. We appreciated not being in the busiest area of Paris and prefer being in a little quieter area. The apartment was great, the booklet Catherine left gave us all the information we needed to get around the city. Her restaurant, grocery store, and bakery recommendations were great. We highly recommend a stay in Catherine's apartment and would pick this as our first choice if we visit Paris again.
