We always assumed we would have to choose between staying at a hotel in the heart of St. Germain, or staying in an apartment less ideally located. So we were delighted to find Catherine’s place, literally right next-door to Relais Christine, where we stayed years ago. The hike up four flights of stairs with our suitcases left us winded, but after that we settled into one of the most delightful apartments we’ve ever stayed in. It is small, so you’ll want to be traveling with someone you like spending time with. We prefer to walk in Paris, and everything we wanted to see we were able to walk to. This is not a corporate Airbnb. It is someone’s home, with its own personality. We felt like guests, and we felt lucky.
