The apartment was wonderful in every way. It had every convenience we needed and is extremely well located with metro stops just outside as well as a great market in front of the building. The owners made us feel truly welcome. They gave suggestions for restaurants and shops, a telephone number for questions we might have and they stocked the kitchen with the best treats for our arrival: wine, champagne, the best cheeses and ham, cherries, bread, apricots and more.
Jul 03 2012I would highly recommend this apartment for a stay in Paris. We had a family of four and plenty of space for everyone. The location is ideal. If we return to Paris, this is where we will stay.
Merci beaucoup to the owners for all their kindness.
Apartment was great!
Aug 02 2010It was exactly as described. It was spacious, cheery, light, comfortable, secure, safe and clean, with a great location (- 2 x Metro stations to choose from, one just outside, one around the corner).
Owners spoke extremely good English, were extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. There was bread, fresh milk, cheese, and wine already provided for our first night, as we arrived late. A nice touch when you're in a new city!
We can highly recommend it, and have already told our friends about it!
Many thanks for making our holiday in Paris such a memorable one.
Accommodation Owner
What to say: Mr. and Mrs. and their 4 children seemed very satisfied with their stay in the vacation rental. They were exemplary tenants for our apartment: pleasant and very attentive. We were worried about the arrival of 4 children: quite without reason, everything went remarkably well and may they be thanked.
Aug 02 2010In short, the apartment we stayed in was fantastic! The apartment was quiet, very spacious, well kept, nicely decorated and very functional (dishwasher, washer, etc.). The apartment owners were also very accommodating and conscientious and spent time explaining everything about the apartment and how everything worked. They also provided a lot of extras to make our stay more enjoyable (e.g., guide books and maps, use of a computer, fresh fruits and vegetables, umbrellas). They also left us with their phone number in case we had any questions. The location was superb with the bus and Metro station just outside the front door and a local market also on the street outside 3 days a week. I would highly recommend this apartment to other potential guests and would stay in the same apartment again.
