Our Beirut Hotel & Staff -
Versaille Home Residence
These
are a few photos of our very comfortable home base in Beirut, the
Versaille Home Residence, located on the corner of Cairo & Baalbek
Streets in the Hamra District, about 4-5 blocks south of the American University
of Beirut. It was conveniently located among many good restaurants,
excellent shopping & several Internet cafes. The staff here was most professional, friendly and
helpful. We send our California greetings back to all of them and thank
them again for helping to make our stay in Lebanon most enjoyable.
