Catherine's place is accessible and quaint. It's set back from the streets with a small courtyard, making it quiet and safe feeling. Catherine was extremely helpful, greeting us with coffee and chocolates, and explaining all of her knowledge of the transportation from years of living in Paris. She knew all of the fastest buses, and the most scenic routes, which came in handy as it was our first visit. He place is a 2 minute walk from Place d'Italie, a busy metro stop with many connections, so we had no issue getting around. Catherine offered to book us a taxi to the airport when we left, and kept us in mind throughout our stay. We would happily book with Catherine again.
