Catherine is a wonderful host -- welcoming, warm, and thoughtful. And her apartment is a dream. It's tastefully decorated, meticulously maintained, and tucked in a quiet street that is so centrally located.
The apartment is flooded with natural light and has a nice flow with cross-ventilation, which keeps the apartment cool even on hot days. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the Internet is super fast. It is set up for a very comfortable long-term stay. The neighborhood is charming, with everything within a short walking distance: multiple subway lines (4, 10, and 12) and buses, a wonderful and extensive open-air market, cafes and restaurants, boutiques, grocery stores and Bon Marche, universities, and the Luxembourg Gardens.
It is a wonderful place to work and come back to, invite friends for afternoon drinks or dinners, or just enjoy a quiet evening reading good books on a comfy sofa as the tall windows bring gentle breeze into this serene apartment.
