I definitely recommend the "lovely apartment in the center" and also Catherine as a host. My friend and I had booked one night at this apartment, then had a change of plans. Catherine went out of her way in several respects to accommodate our changed needs and our schedule. This apartment very nice, perfectly clean, and in a great location for walking to the sights we wanted to visit. I slept on the pull-out sofa in the living room, which was extremely comfortable. Catherine was busy and moving at a fast pace; but she made sure that we were comfortable. Before my arrival, I had encountered technical difficulties trying to contact Catherine on my cell phone from Spain. She was patient while this problem (which was annoying to me, and likely to her as well) was being resolved. The one down side of this stay, and the only reason I did not give 5 stars, was a noisy party across the hall. It was loud in the front room where I slept, but less loud in the bedroom, which has a separate door. I assume this is not a regular occurrence, and I definitely would stay in the apartment again.
