I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Catherine's. The apartment is cozy and yet there is space for privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and varied and right on the canal between Parc de la Villette and Stalingrad - just outside the "bustle" of busy Paris, but with some neat neighborhood bars and cafés worth discovering. Catherine is super easy to get along with and shares her space generously and openly. I felt very much at home and à l'aise in the apartment and would be happy to see her again!
