Thanks to you and Myriam for ensuring all went smoothly in the booking and settling in and for a fantastic stay in Paris!
The apartment was perfect for us. Quiet, central and interesting location; walking distance to the Notre Dame and across the road from metro. Just right for a family of 4.

We had a great time, and the apartment was great, and I will recommend it to others. The apartment was perfectly located with everything that we needed close by. It was such a nice experience renting an apartment this time versus a hotel room. Thanks again for the lovely stay

Wonderful apartment in a great location

5 of 5
Submitted: May 14, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
My husband and I hope to rent this apartment again. The location is wonderful, the views delightful and the peace and quiet much appreciated. We thought the small well appointed kitchen was perfect--two electric rings and a combined microwave and "fan oven" which made cooking very easy. We had a dinner party for seven for which we roasted a chicken; I was impressed with the results myself. (Note that you have to find the booklet on the oven to do anything that fancy but it's easily available in a drawer). Cookware, dishes and glasses are all in generous supply.
The layout is comfortable for four with the bedrooms at opposite ends of the apartment. The widows face southwest so the apartment is very bright in the daytime. The one drawback is a very Parisian one: the stairs. We're in our 70s and did just fine but I wouldn't recommend this to the handicapped or those with small children.
Another plus: the apartment is managed by a professional service which we found very responsive and helpful.

Great location....reasonable apartment

3 of 5
Submitted: February 10, 2012 Stayed: June 2011
My wife and I and our two young children stayed here for 1 week in June 2011.

Whilst I agree with review by Katie(USA) I’d like to add the following. The location of the apartment is indeed excellent being virtually opposite the Metro entrance, close to Rue Mofftard and overlooking a children’s playground rather than a typical noisy Paris street.

However in all other respects, I suppose we got what we paid for as this apartment is at the cheaper end of the 2-bedroom scale.

Whilst the photos on the website are accurate, they fail to show the minuscule size of the two bathrooms with fixtures sagging off the walls and a shower curtain that makes a tiny shower even more cramped. A glass shower door would be a big improvement. Also a sliding door for the shower room rather than a musty old curtain would be good.

To claim a “full kitchen” is stretching it. It should more accurately be described as a Kitchenette for limited cooking. It’s tiny, with the only work surface being the little bar bench. It’s also hard to use the electric hot plates with cheap pots with curved bases. Some decent pots with solid bases would solve this problem.

We were also let down on the technology front. The Internet WiFi router died on the first day. The booking agent was very helpful and supplied his access code for the public WiFi available in the area until the owners son arrived the next day and replaced the power supply. But the “free phone” didn’t work. So no calls back to Australia! Plus only 11 TV channels (all in French) of the claimed 200 actually worked. The rest were all unavailable as the subscription wasn’t paid.

Finally, I echo the other review regarding the stairs and the floor covering.

Owner's Response: Hi Philippa, a few details to highlight your comments :

All apts have strenghts and weaknesses. We try to price them adequately. The location and the views of the apt are perfect. Decoration is nice and delicate (owner live in the apt 4 month/year). Depending on the guest culture and living habits things can be considered differently. Coming from Australia you must be used to large bathrooms linked to each bedroom and wide dining room type kitchen. It is pretty rare in Paris. This apt as 2 bathrooms, it is a very good point per say : one is of standard size in France, the other is small. As photos show, both bathroom were not redone recently but are totally decent and clean. We advised the owner about your comments.

As far the kitchen lay out , it is very common in Paris where apts are small : they are called American kitchen. This one, although not being the perfect choice for cooking for 6 every night, is to be considered a real "american" kitchen in Paris standard. The owner has added pots since then.

The internet problem you faced came from the supplier. The box that was out of order. It was replaced quickly. TV was working, only, the card was not inserted properly. It has been fixed long ago. These things happen and are independent of our will. I hope you appreciated we reacted very quickly.

In conclusion, if one is looking for an apt with 2 large bathrooms and want to cook large dinners this is not an apt to consider. Bare in mind that the price for such an apt will be easily 30% more.
Overall, this apt beeing always fully booked, we believe the ratio price quality is on the high side as most of the reviews comment.
