We had a wonderful time at Catherine's apartment. She was a gracious host. The experience was actually more like a bed-and-breakfast. She had a tasty continental breakfast every morning for us with fresh pastries and coffee/tea. We even met a nice couple from Germany that was staying in the second bedroom. The neighborhood is perfect. Safe. Chic. And steps away from both the metro and train station! The actual apartment was beautiful. Lots of architectural detail and very spacious. Our bedroom faced the street and had a small balcony with it. Perfect!! Can't wait to return!
