Just returned from Paris, the trip came in the second half of July 2019.
Beatrice is a very hospitable hostess. We flew to Paris with a spouse to celebrate a birthday and wedding anniversary, it was unexpected and very pleasant to find a present - a bottle of French champagne with a lovely card.
So:
1. The location is excellent. Indeed, all significant sights are within walking distance.
2. Clean - great.
3. Communication with the hostess is excellent.
The only thing there are a few points that caused discomfort.
1. The first week was abnormally hot to 43 - 45 °. The apartment has no air conditioning, there is a small fan. The situation was complicated by the fact that the apartments are located on the ground floor, and there are no security bars (a metal shatters) on the windows. It was necessary to close the windows or shatters on the outside of the windows (these are classic shatters on the windows in Paris, where there are several slots at the top for air to pass through). But in this heat, it did not save. I wanted to open the windows wide at night, but they go out onto the sidewalk where people walk, park cars, and this is uncomfortable, so leaving open windows for the night was impossible. It would be nice if the metal shatters were on the windows. Then the problem with opening the windows would be solved. I have seen many of them.
2. Also for me, it was a discomfort to sleep on the sofa. I prefer a bed with a good mattress. Therefore, the sofa with a folding mattress for me was very uncomfortable. Perhaps it is individual, but at night it was very problematic to sleep. It would be great if there was a bed with a mattress.
A few words about the owner herself. Beatrice is a wonderful person, she recommended a lot of things, advised, was always in touch. She was interested, worried, especially during the period of abnormal heat in Paris.
It is good that the second week was much more comfortable at around 25 °. It was just fine.
Therefore, my rating is 4.
Thank you, Beatrice, for the friendly reception and I hope to see you later))
