2nd Arrondissement Bourse Vacation Rental apartment: Paris Centre / Opera / Louvre

We spent 5 wonderful weeks in paris in Sam's unit.
It made a great base from which to enjoy the sights and experiences of the city.The unit is comfortable, clean, well fitted out and is very conveniently located with easy walking to many of the main attractions and the metro lines.The owner's assistance and advice as to what to do was very helpful. This unit made self catering an enjoyable experience when not going out. The Italian coffee shop on the corner in the gallery opposite the unit is the best in Paris. This all makes a great place to stay in Paris and still have time to relax.

This apartment was central to restaurants, including 100 feet from Hard Rock Paris, which has great food at decent prices. The apartment was clean, and well put together. The bathroom was a good size and it was a thoughful gesture to include a blowdryer for drying my hair. There was ample amounts of both water pressure and hot water. The water tasted good was drinkable right from the tap, which I didn't think would be the case in an old building. It was lovely to look out the window and see the top of the Eiffel Tower especially at night. It was great to have an elevator as many apartments in Paris do not. Samantha is most accomodating and provided us with great tips on where to go, how to get there, and what to do ---loved the outdoor market she gave us directions to. The bed is comfortable. The description is acurate. We enjoyed the Segway Tour of Paris however note that reservations are a must and there is definately walking involved to get from the meeting point of the Sud Pillar of the Eiffel Tower and the Segway Store so if walking is an issue get the address and have a cab drop you right there for your tour. Watching the fireworks going off from the Eiffel Tower on Bastille Day July 14 was really special. It's close to metro, buses, and taxis. When staying there consider taking a full day trip out of Paris to the Palace of Versailles and Monet's Place at Giverney. It's a trip well worth it and you can be picked up and later dropped off right at the apartment's front door. Thank you Samantha and family for letting us rent your apartment, we highly recommend anyone to rent this space when coming to Paris.

This was our 2nd visit to Paris. The first time we stayed in very small apartment in St. Germaine. Sam's apartment in The Opera area was fantastic. It was large, light and and a great location. You can see the top of the Eiffel tower through window and very charming. We enjoyed reading all the tips from previous visitors and also the information left from Sam was invaluable. This time we went to the Opera, Versailles, Musee D Orsay, frequented the local market, spent time in the Palace Gardens and enjoyed great shopping nearby. The facilities in apartment terrific, bed very comfortable, and we folded up screen which seperates sleeping from living area to make it more open but you don't need to. We loved our stay in Paris and my husband and I hope to return again one day. We would totally recommend this apartment for location, comfort, friendliness and value.
