I had such a wonderful time at Catherine's! She's a gracious host, kind, generous and very easy going. We certainly made a connection during my weeklong stay.
My bed was very comfortable. The room, facing the courtyard, nice and quiet. The neighborhood is close to the canal and also the beautiful parque de la villette. It has plenty of grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants. The metro line 7 takes you to the Louvre in 20 minutes. Highly recommended!
