I needed to visit Paris (from Dublin) to visit a friend in the Centre Hospitalier Sainte Anne, and so wanted somewhere nearby. Of course I was influenced in my choice by comments of earlier airbnb travellers, and to them: a very, very big 'thank you'! Here, in Catherine's, was *the* best place to stay. Catherine was there to greet me on arrival, she kindly offered to make me coffee/tea, but I declined as I needed to see my friend. Then, Catherine most generously offered to accompany me to find the hospital location of my friend (I would have had great difficulty), and I would have lost valuable time without her help. I can only speak a little French, and a little Italian, and Catherine was very tolerant of my modest efforts. My room was indeed a charming "chambe simple", very quiet (just right for a good night's sleep), very comfortable bed (so necessary for someone like me who has a bad back), and the spotless bathroom was fully stocked. A lovely breakfast was served (fresh orange juice, coffee/tea, croissant, crusty baguette, butter, jams, yoghurt, fruit), in a truly lovely room, with a view over the hospital grounds, and, while Catherine gave me quiet time in which to have breakfast, she always chatted with me afterwards. I suppose I could write an essay about my time there, but I will sum up by saying that I could not imagine a better place in Paris in which to stay. Merci beaucoup (mille grazie) Catherine.
