Catherine is a wonderful host that is kind and very knowledgable about Paris. Her place is a great place that isn't in the "touristy" area of Paris but so close to everything via metro or walking as I preferred to do. There are shops right across the street to grab groceries and a great place to exchange currency not far from her place that charges low fees. There is bath with a sprayer vs a standup shower. (though I have been told this is typical in Paris) A great place to stay with a great host.
