I spent four days at Catherine's and it was great. Great hostess, great communication, great apartment, right in the middle of Paris. Two minutes from Place d'Italie where you have three metro lines with which you can basically reach all major sights. It's also a great starting point for wonderful walks such as to Rue Moufftard, Pantheon, Jardin the Luxembourg, Jardin des Plantes, ... Across the street from the apartment is a big shopping mall with a big supermarket. I had a wonderful time and can definitely recommend it. Thanks again for everything Catherine.
