Catherine's apartment is Parisian perfection!
First things first, Catherine is a wonderful hostess. She was in constant communication with me from the moment I booked her beautiful apartment. She made sure I had all required information to access the apartment and meet her. She's truly lovely. She walked us through the apartment and let us know all the secrets in case anything happened. Even as we were enjoying our stay, Catherine checked in to not only make sure we were doing well in the apartment but to make sure we were enjoying our stay in Paris and to see if she could provide any guidance.
Now, onto the apartment. I almost don't know where to begin. It is perfectly located 1-2 blocks from the Arc de Triomphe. Nothing wrong with waking up wand walking out of your Parisian apartment to the Arc every morning. With this location comes easy access to two of the main Metro lines - 1 and 6. The apartment is on the second level. It's basically a walk-up, even thought there's a super tiny elevator. The apartment is covered in amazing artwork. You feel like you're being hugged by art. The main living room is massive and was a favorite spot of ours to drink and recount our days in Paris every night. Each bedroom (2) has its own bathroom...2 toilets, which is super key when there are 2 couples staying together. We definitely felt like each couple had their own space.
We were super sad to leave the apartment. Hopefully, we find ourselves in Paris again soon so we can stay at Catherine's again. :-)
