Hi Randall and Diana,

We would like to thank you for letting us rent your wonderful apartment in Paris just recently, August/07. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the apartment, it's convenient location to everything you need and the cozy atmosphere (great job on the decoration of the apartment!).

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Paris and it's largely due because of the location and niceness of the apartment. Moos was absolutely wonderful and explained everything to us as we arrived. We cleaned the apartment very well before we left as Moos said someone else was renting the place on the day he returned from holidays.

Anyway, thank you again and if we return to Paris in the future, we for sure would like to rent the apartment again.

Sincerely,

Monique and Neermal
Owner's Response: Hello Monique et Neermal,

Merci et à la prochaine fois,

Randy et Diana

I rented this apartment on a trip we had planned for my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary and it really made the visit so much more enjoyable than staying in a hotel. Everything you need is supplied. They even had a pizza cutter! It also has two toilets which is very rare in Paris.

It's close to the metro and the grocers and restaurants and bakeries. Everything!

The person who managed things for the owners was extremely helpful.

It felt like my own place.

I just can't say enough good things about this place.

Highly, highly recommended!!!

Thanks again.

We had a fabulous time in Paris! Your apartment was lovely and everything was exactly as communicated. Moos was quite
informative and helpful. We walked and Metro'd everywhere. Those Carte Orange passes were especially important and economical when we made mistakes and had to go out and come in on the other side! Ha! Also, the Paris Visite Museum Passes were a great bargain. We went to the Louvre and the Musee d' Orsay twice ("industrial actions" closed everal significant floors on certain days!) My daughter loved the top of the Eiffel Tower - we were up there when the lights came on. The Bateaux Mouches tour down the Seine was perfectly timed. The lights on the bridges came on as we passed underneath. Climbed to the top of Notre Dame, and THEN noticed that my husband and I were the oldest people up
there. Whew! Unfortunately, Les Catacombes are closed until March
2008 so my son was a bit disappointed. However, he loved Napoleon's Tomb and the Hotel de Invalide exhibits. Montmartre was my husband's
favorite area - adorable, winding, cobblestone streets and we had a lovely snack at Le Cremaillere in Place Tertre. I loved dinner at Georges at the top of the Centre Pompidou. The rue de Mouffetard was delightful - fun to buy dinner and eat at home. Your apartment was very welcoming after a long day of touring! Thank you again for all your assistance and guidance. We can't wait to go back!

We're a little late in posting this, but I must say we really enjoyed our stay here over New Years. The apartment is clean, well equipped, and well-located. The owners were very easy to work with, and the manager was there to greet us as promised. An excellent choice!

Randy and Diana,

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed staying at your apartment.
I left there and went to Germany and Sweden, arriving home on Sat eve.
Today is my first day back at the office, still a bit jet lagged of course but with wonderful memories.

What a wonderful place you've got! The location is excellent and the
apartment quickly felt like home. I loved having the flower shop
directly across the street, as well as the fromagerie and the boulangerie
nearby.

Moos was very helpful on the first day as well.

I've told so many people about how glad I was to have discovered you.
It made my week in Paris truly special and memorable.

I look forward to connecting with you again on my next trip!

LaCigale is the "best kept Lodging value secret" in Paris. Neat, spacious, with a great kitchen and in-dining for six persons. We love it and have stayed at LaCigale four times in the last five years. (Our fifth visit will be in October.) Have recommended it to eight other couples. All agree it is top quality in every respect.

(We've also stayed in over-priced Paris hotels with bird-bath sinks and closet-sized rooms, so we can honestly and accurately make comparisons.)

Call Dr. Randy for our phone and e-mail. We'll be happy to talk your ears off about LaCigale."

In October a couple of years ago 5 of us (not the same 5 as Cheryl :) had the absolutely most pleasant stay at La Cigale. The apartment is perfectly located and beautifully furnished. No detail is overlooked. We were able to walk all over the 5th and across the Seine, as well. The Metro is steps away, as are buses. Restaurants and shops are everywhere. It is wonderful. The owners are magnificent. Feel free to contact me anytime for more info!
