We loved our stay with Catherine! She received us both (at different times, thanks again!) with juice and cookies, she is very welcoming and you can see that she loves what she's doing. Her offering breakfast is a plus and it was great! Everything you would possibly want to eat in the morning, including fresh squeezed orange juice and a always pleasant breakfast chat ;-)
Catherine is very attentive to details, which makes us very comfortable at her home. The room was exactly as described, very clean, with water and a bouilloire so you can make coffee or tea yourself anytime. We also had our own bathroom and we did not have to go through her personal space to get in and out of her house, which made us feel even more comfortable.
You can see the Arc de Triomphe from her building, and a 5 min walk will get you there. If you're up to walking (which I hope you are if you're visiting Paris), you can basically get to the Arc de Triomphe, walk down Champs-Elysées to Place de la Concorde, then the Jardin de Tuilleries and the Louvre after that. That says a lot about location.
Merci Catherine!
