Beatrice's place was uniquely decorated and located near a cool street in Montparnasse with lots of shops and restaurants. I loved the restaurant Chez Papa down the street for local food and the biggest omelettes! The apartment is tiny so perfect for a solo traveler that doesn't want to spend much time in the apartment. One thing to note is that the apartment is on the first floor right across from the main entrance and stairwell. There is a a lot of foot traffic in the mornings and all throughout the night. The apartment also looks out on a courtyard where a light comes on often throughout the night when people are moving through the area. Everything can be heard from the upstairs apartment as well. The noise and light aren't big issues if you will be up early and out late seeing the sights but something to consider if you will be recovering from jet lag.
