Marie -Beatrice and Emmanuel were very welcoming, generous, helpful (even printed out bus information), kind, and attentive to every detail. The bed was the epitome of comfort and I looked forward to just falling into at the end of an exhausting day. The room had a lot of light and a great view. It was well equipped with an iron, tea kettle, a great set of towels, WiFi, books of many kinds for the tourist. I was helped with a few phone calls that I could not easily make in French, a ride to the train station the last day because there seemed to be a strike and taxi's were impossible to get, and Marie-Beatrice showed me around the area and helped me find a place to stay due to an unexpected change in plans. I would have stayed with them but their place was not available on the dates I needed. It was a pleasure to get to know them. I plan on another visit next time I am in Paris.
