Catherine's apartment was very well placed on a busy road with excellent access to public transport, brisk morning walk to the beach or stroll to find great cafes for breakfast. It was vibrant enough to feel safe and we regularly sent our kids out for croissants and fresh juice downstairs. She was most obliging with a late request for late checkout and very quick to send the plumber for a slow flushing toilet. We had a terrific time in Catherine's place.
