Catalina really is a wonderful host and my stay with her was great. The apartment is clean, pretty, and she is attentive to all the details that make her visitors comfortable. She makes really wonderful coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast, as well as providing good bread and french pastries. She helped me figure out the metro and get a pass for a week, told me about museums,markets, walks, and free concerts. I went to a really wonderful jazz concert that I would have never known about if she hadn't told me. She is an artist as are other members of her family, and it's a great place to stay if you like art and music, as she knows what is going on. My room was clean and pleasant, with a big window looking over Paris rooftops. The 13th arrondisement is away from tourists but still within the city and very well located near the Parc du Montsouris, not far from the Luxembourg Gardens and a lot of small museums. It is very easy to get to both Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports, as well as just a block from the Glaciere metro stop and many buses. It's also very near a beautiful public swimming pool. Catalina is really helpful and always available to answer questions and provide suggestions and make sure everything is going well. Thanks much! Es un lugar perfecto para hispano hablantes; Catalina es de Argentina.
