Catherina was great in her communication before, during and after our stay. She made us feel very welcome; took us out for a drink one night during our visit to Paris and offered plenty of suggestions as to where to eat and what to see. My memory is not the best so I had to message her to get the names of the places she suggested and she responded straight away. Nothing was ever a bother. Location, location, location......Catherina's studio is ideally located to everywhere you need to go; and you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to places to eat. Even though there are several metro stations within 2 - 3 minutes walk, we found we walked to all the main attractions, even the Eiffel Tower (about 5 kms away; a leisurely 50 minute walk along the Seine). The description of the apartment offered by Catherina is accurate; and yes there are a few stairs to climb and it is small (no smaller than and average hotel room) but it is worth every cent you pay. You won't be disappointed if you stay in Catherina's studio. I will be recommending her studio to friends back in Australia.
