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.

Great Paris Apartment

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!

We stayed in Isabelle's Beaubourg apartments in June, 2009. We found it to be perfect for two adults. It was very quiet and relaxing at night and close to most of the Paris attractions. From the apartment, you can walk to many of them. Also, it was fun to get more in touch with pulse of the city by shopping for groceries and meeting some of the people entering and leaving the apartment building. Finally, the apartment and surroundings are bug free which made it liberating to throw open the large widows and let the cool, fresh air flow in. We recommend and hope to stay in Isabelle's properties again soon. Oh, and Sabine was a likeable and knowledgable tour guide!
