Testimonials
In their own words
Short notes from former INSEAD tenants — on the house, the walk to campus, and settling in. All quotes shared with permission or published on Google. Houses have been renamed since some stays; the current name is given alongside.
"I'd tell an incoming tenant that it's a wonderful place, nice and quiet with a fair bit of sunshine. The landlady's great, and the house help does her job very well. Not to forget the location is perfect — I can't think of a better place to stay in Fontainebleau, and seeing the sunset every day was a treat. Every shop you need is nearby — once again, the location is literally perfect, and if I had to do INSEAD all over again, I'd stay at 161 Rue St. Merry every time."
"Amazing stay! The apartment was great, and Béatrice was an exceptional host — very kind, responsive, and always helpful. Everything was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
"Excellent unit, very convenient location and super responsive management."
"I had a wonderful time living in House Metropolitan (The Metropolitan). At such a short walk to campus, it was so easy both to get to class and to visit my friends in other houses. Beatrice was really responsive and helpful during our stay. I couldn't recommend the house more as a smaller alternative to the large town houses."
"Apartment as a whole was lovely, and I would recommend it to future INSEAD students. My room was spacious, offering ample storage and plenty of natural light. The apartment is in a great location near INSEAD and everything else in Fonty, with the kitchen and living room providing ample space to host guests or lounge around."
"I stayed in the Berlin room at St Merry house (The Continental). Not only was my time comfortable, I found the place to be abundant in charm. Living throughout the seasons in this comfortable clean and spacious apartment was a blessing. Our landlady made entrance and communication very easy. Most of all this place is excellent for INSEAD students as it is near campus, the grocery store, and the central square."
