Catherina's studio is in a perfect spot, centrally located in St.-Germain. It is close to many wonderful restaurants/cafes, good shopping, public transit options (Metro and bus), and city attractions. The pictures represent exactly what you will see -- it is quite small, and very clean and tidy. The building has a lot of character, and as others have noted, there are a lot of stairs to climb -- good for working off the extra pounds gained with cheese and baguettes! Also, despite the fact it is in a very lively area, the studio window faces a very small internal courtyard, and is surprisingly quiet. We met Catherina the night we arrived, and she was very nice and helpful with tips about the area, as well as Paris in general. We would recommend this studio with no hesitation, thanks Catherina!
