Catherine was a very kind host. She was extremely friendly and replied quickly to my questions whenever I had any. The location of her apartment is great and is very close to the metro, so getting to destinations isn’t hard. The view of the Eiffel Tower is amazing! Especially at night when it is sparkling. The only thing different from what we expected was that Catherine had family staying there—2 adults and 2 small children. It was very crammed in one apartment! The shared spaces were completely taken up with their clothes and things, so we were confined to our room. Sometimes I couldn’t use the bathroom and had to wait for someone else to finish first. There was a lot of clutter everywhere—clothes and personal items. It was also hard to sleep because their baby cried a lot. I have to say, though, that this doesn’t seem to be a regular thing for Catherine, and we just happened to stay at a a more hectic time. For the most part, she was very friendly, and the room itself was comfortable. The price and view is unbeatable!
