We loved our stay in Beatriz's apartment. The location is marvellous, close to the marais and to public transport. The apartment itself is bright and airy, with a cross-breeze that kept us cool on warm nights. We also loved Beatriz's art and books – we had the sense of being in a home that had been loaned to us by a friend with great taste. Some aspects of the apartment are quite basic, but we didn't mind that at all – we thought it was tremendously good value.
