I had a fabulous stay at Beto's home. He was very welcoming and had many great suggestions for restaurants, sights to see, especially in the awesome Le Marais district and shopping. When I wasn't sure how to operate the washing machine, he was quick to respond by sending me photos of the various procedures. The apartment is located in a terrific part of Paris and near many of the tourist attractions (eg, Centre Pompidou, Picasso Museum, Place des Vosges) are within walking distance. Metro stations are only minutes away. Although the apartment is a 6 floor walk up, it was not difficult to climb the stairs.
The apartment itself was super clean and very well equipped with everything that you could possibly need including a dozen or so guidebooks. It is also quite spacious for two people, especially for an apartment in Paris.
I very highly recommend that you stay in Beto's home, I certainly would like to return.
