I only wish I could write this in French.. Catherine is lovely - very friendly and helpful, wanting to make sure you have a lovely time in Paris. She is prompt and helpful with her communication and was particularly helpful when we wanted to stay one more night - Catherine made alternative arrangements just to accommodate us. Thank you! Catherine's apartment is a close walk from the Metro or short taxi/Uber from Garde de Paris Est or du Nord. Easy to get to and from when arriving or leaving Paris. We walked everywhere from her apartment - its so close to all the major attractions - Mont Martre (40min), La Seine and Ile de la Cité (20 min), Musée d'Orsay (30 min), La Louvre (20 min), Arc de Triomphe (40 min) etc. Much faster by Metro, but the weather was sunny and its lovely to walk through Paris. The apartment was perfect for the 3 of us - 1 adult and 2 teenagers. We were sad not to have met Catherine as she was away the weekend we were there, though she made special arrangements with her neighbour which worked really well. We would highly recommend this place to others. Thank you Catherine!
