  My husband and I spent a wonderful week in Paris with Isabelle's Beaubourg apartment as our base. The young, lively location near the Pompidou Center gave us access to shops, restaurants, and small grocery stores; it also situated us perfectly as we were able to walk to so many parts of the city. Despite the busy neighborhood, the apartment was quiet and private. The building is secure, and there was no problem walking back at night. Although this is a studio, the bed is slightly separated from the sitting area, giving the room a spacious feeling. The kitchen and bath were excellent with everything we needed, and there was a good-sized closet to hold luggage and clothing. For those who have problems climbing flights of stairs, the building has an elevator and the apartment is on the first floor (American second floor). The Beaubourg apartment is a well-priced alternative to a hotel, with more space and home-like amenities, especially the kitchen, washer/dryer (pack light), large bath, and phone and Internet. Most days, we had breakfast and a light dinner in the apartment and saved our appetite for a large lunch in the late afternoon. I appreciated having choices when and where to eat, and we got to enjoy the bread, cheese, wine, and pastry available in our neighborhood. We bought a Batobus pass and used the Seine as water-taxi transportation (hop on and off with the pass). Although we also used the metro and taxis, the weather was wonderful while we were there, and the river was a leisurely way to get to many major attractions. The Hotel de Ville stop was about a ten-minute walk from the apartment, and the boats run every 20 minutes or so. We took the train from the airport to Les Halles station and walked to the apartment. (Hint: save your ticket because you need it to exit the station.) It was a little confusing and a pain to haul our luggage, but it worked well and saved having use a taxi or transfer to the subway for one stop. The trip back to the airport was easy. Isabelle was wonderful! She answered all my inquiries promptly and cheerfully. Our deposit was returned within three days of our return. The apartment was clean and accurately depicted. I would rent one of Isabelle’s apartments again without hesitation. I highly recommend this apartment!

  My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks in Paris, and the Beaubourg was everything I hoped it would be. The location is fantastic, and made the perfect "home base" for our daily expeditions around the city. Even better, it was incredibly quiet despite being in the center of everything, and we really appreciated that. Everything was perfect when we arrived: super clean, wireless connection a breeze to set up, plenty of closet space for our things, great bathroom, and a tidy little kitchen. The whole process of reserving the flat went without a hitch. I would definitely work with Isabelle again if I ever have the good fortune to return to Paris, and would certainly recommend her properties to my friends and acquaintances.

  We stayed at the Beaubourg for 9 days in Nov 2011. I've visited Paris numerous times and stayed in hotels and in rental apartments, and this was by far the best accommodations I've had, from the ease of booking and responsiveness of the landlord, as well as the quality of the apartment. The apartment itself was fantastic. Close to several metro lines and numerous major Parisian attractions, we were able to walk to several sites: the Marais, St Louis and Cite islands (Notre Dame/St Chappelle), as well as tons of great shops and restaurants (several bakeries on the block, a grocery right around the corner, and fromageries, butchers, fishmongers all very close). In addition to the location, the apartment had great amenities: free wifi, free calls to the US, washer/dryer and a nice kitchen if you feel like trying your hand at French cooking. There are thousands of apartments to rent in Paris, but what sets Isabelle apart is her responsiveness and the ease of the entire rental process, from booking through checkout. Isabelle responded to my initial inquiry on the apartment within hours. The fact that she accepts Paypal made the payment process quite easy (I've previously booked apartments with an agency that mandated a bank transfer, which was a huge hassle). Paypal converts from Dollars to Euros, so you don't get a currency conversion fee or any other transactions fees on your credit card. Picking up the key was a breeze, and when we discovered a small toilet leak, I called Isabelle and she had it fixed within a couple hours. After checkout, I had my full security deposit refunded to Paypal within 4 days. We were very impressed with the entire process of renting this apartment, and we plan on using Isabelle's apartments again the next time we visit Paris.

  My husband and I stayed at the Beauborg apartment in early October 2011 for 6 nights.The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you might need. It was clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The location was great, very central and easy walking to many sites. The neighborhood was colorful and busy but the apartment is on a quiet street. We always felt safe and were never bothered by noise. Isabelle was great to work with. She responded quickly to any questions and made the process easy. Our deposit was promptly returned. We enjoyed our stay in Paris and would highly recommend Isabelle and her apartment. We hope to return some day.

  The apartment is absolutely perfectly located. Pomidou a block away and easy walking distance to metro, great shopping and restaurants in Le Marais, Notre Dame etc. Apartment small and not luxurious but has everything one needs for a week in Paris. Isabelle is very organised and payments secure. Security deposit returned in record time. Highly recommend. Would certainly book with Isabelle again. A family of 3 Australians

  Larry and Carolyn Massachusetts USA Beaubourg Apartment from 25-Dec-2009 to 4- Jan-2010 We stayed at Isabelle's Beaubourg apartment over the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Reserving the place with our credit card was easy. The apartment location is a very popular area, near the Pompidou Center and the Rambuteau metro stop. The neighborhood is safe and abounds in restaurants and brassieres. A short walk brings you to many interesting sites like the Hotel de Ville and Les Halles and the rue de Rivoli. The apartment had a good heating system so that we were comfortable when the temperature outside was frigid. We were able to cook a stove-top meal with ingredients purchased in neighborhood stores. Also, there were plenty of patisseries for delicious European breakfast goodies. These goodies went well with the coffee we made in the apartment drip maker. We had a spacious closet and roomy bathroom with a good shower. All the comforts of home, right in the heart of Paris.

  My daughter and I stayed in the Beaubourg appartment for 16 days; 16 days before Christmas. We had a wonderfull time.We were in Paris several times before, but never this time of the year. Paris was fascinating! And there was snow..! The apartment is on a perfect location: near by the Marais, near by the metro, near by everything. Before I made the reservation I had my doubts. Why make a reservation through a French internetsite? Would it be safe? Now I can assure you: it IS safe and everything went fine. Next time I'll stay in Paris I'll contact Isabelle again!

  Isabelle is a very accommodating and friendly host, and was very easy to interact with during the reservation stage. The Beaubourg apartment is fabulously located in walking distance to just about everything... colorful neighborhood, diverse crowd, lots to see and do.

  My wife and I had a magical time in Paris while staying at Beaubourg apartment(8 nights) next to Pompidou Centre. It was very conveniently located in Marais district with easy access to Metro, numerous restaurants, quaint Cafes, shopping districts, and all the cathedrals/museums. Isabelle was very professional and precise in booking the apartment, and relieved my trepidation about internet booking. Apartment was well furnished as described on the website. We look forward to visiting Paris again!
