Beatrice is a welcoming host who speaks perfect English. She provided excellent suggestions for experiencing the authentic Paris. Her apartment is in a great neighborhood close to restaurants, shops and transportation. Also it is on the first floor so no need to carry luggage up flights of stairs. Paris is big, apartments are small. The apartment although well appointed, bright and relaxing when entered becomes less so as you unpack suitcases. Beatrice has done a great job with a small space but it is best suited to a single guest who is traveling light.
