After my enjoyable weekend at Catherine’s apartment in January, I hoped to stay for this longer visit in June, and luckily it was available. Catherine accommodated my early arrival, and is a wonderful host. She showed me around the apartment and how everything worked. As she was going out of town, she left phone numbers of her adult children who live in Paris, in case I needed anything. This apartment is very comfortable and has all the modern conveniences. The neighborhood is quiet and it is easy to get to any part of Paris, and there is a nice view of the Tour Montparnasse from the balcony. There are many shops and restaurants in the neighborhood, and a bus that runs in front of the building to the center of town all the way to Sacre Coeur. Catherine has wonderful city and transportation maps that were very handy. I hope to stay again on a future trip.
