Beatrice’s place is wonderful. We spent 4 days (5 nights) there. It’s charming and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, cookware/silverware. We cooked there one of our nights. All the appliances (stove, washer, dishwasher) worked perfectly. She and her husband spoke really good English, so communication was easy. Both of them were extremely accommodating—our train was late getting to Paris so we missed the check in time by almost an hour—but they were there to let us in no problem. The entire complex is gated so it’s quite secure. The surrounding area was young and vibrant along the canal. There is a metro station (Riquet) 2 min walk away so getting to the various attractions in and around Paris was very easy. The apt does not have AC, so if it’s real hot you might be a little uncomfortable, but we found it actually wasn’t too bad. Would absolutely stay here again in the future.
