Catherine's apartment is in a great location with restaurants, shops, boulangeries, pharmacy, and metro / bus stops all within a block or so. There is even a gas / diesel pump readily accessible just steps away from the street door if you are driving. It is a spacious apartment on the 1st floor with windows that open to the entry courtyard...the photos are very accurate. This is her home so it is not some sterile, minimalist blank slate -- you really feel like you are coming home at the end of the day. We never got to meet her in person but she gave us great pre-arrival info on how to access the apartment with photos for everything and was quick to respond to questions. Wifi was excellent and there are plenty of outlets for charging your electronics. One thing to note if you are a very light sleeper: there is a major metro stop nearby and some of the trains run under the building...you can feel the rumble. We didn't find it disturbing at all but some folks who are sensitive might want to know this up front. All in all, we loved staying here and would happily recommend it to others.
