Catherine was a wonderful host— days prior to arriving in Paris she gave me very detailed instructions on how to access the apartment and how to arrive from the airport which was super helpful. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. I also really appreciated the area. There are two metro stations nearby, both around a five minute walk and several bus lines that get you to a range of different points in the city. It’s also worth mentioning that as a solo traveler I felt very safe at Catherine’s apartment. I arrived past 10/10:30pm by metro on most nights and never felt uncomfortable. I’d recommend this stay for anyone looking for short term lodging in Paris!
