Catherine always goes above and beyond as a host. Her apartment itself is stylish and she has put thoughtful touches in the room to make a guest feel at home. I ended up having some back pain after a dance class and she offered me her essential oils to add to an early morning hot bath. On a prior visit, I made good use of the hair dryer and clothes steamer that she has left in the closet after I spilled some tea on my dress and made an even b bigger mess trying to wash out any possible stains. No matter what arises, Catherine has something useful to offer to smooth things out for me. Such a pleasure to stay with her!
