We had a great time at Suzan's apartment. The neighborhood is wonderful - 5 fabulous bakeries in 5 minutes walking distance - plus all the shops, cafes, etc.

We took my 82 year-old mother-in-law, along with another couple, and we didn't feel cramped in the apartment. It helped that the WC and shower were in separate rooms. It was helpful as far as my mother-in-law was concerned to have easy access to an elevator. Although she had to walk down stairs to the bedroom, the stairs were wide, safe, and had plenty of railings. Being right across the street from the #69 bus was also great.

Thank you, Suzan, for having thought of everything. This was our first time renting an apartment - a little leap of faith, really, but we are so glad that we did. Every night when we walked down the Rue Cler, we felt like we had come home!

Just returned from a lovely Thanksgiving in Paris with my 2 children, their uncle and grandmother visiting my daughter who is studying abroad. This property was perfectly suited for my family. We were 5 in the house and had plenty of space, and the large dining room table, well-equipped kitchen, and proximity to the shops on Rue Cler allowed us to entertain my daughter's host mother and two of her fellow students in true Paris style! Loved the family atmosphere of the neighborhood --we truly felt as if we were living in Paris among the locals instead of being constantly surrounded by other tourists, and yet so close to the Champs de Mars that the Eiffel Tower became our beacon home! The home is bright and comfortable, the location is ideal, and the owner is extremely accommodating. I would (and do) recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to Paris!

Thanks to Suzan for working closely with us to
make this happen (we had a glitch with Paypal and
she was quite patient!).

As for the apartment, the best aspect is its location.
We went shopping on Rue Cler for marvelous fruits,
vegetables, cheeses, jams for our Sunday dinner.
Great!

Oh, and the best bakery is just down Rue St.
Dominique... St. Julien. You must go if you stay
here.

Overall, the apartment is clean, serviceable, well-
stocked, spacious... best for people looking to kick
back in a no-fuss situation (and who don't mind
drying their clothes on a clothes rack... no dryer
here).

Probably not the first choice for people looking for
romantic Paris with a view. But that can be found
outdoors. Good for those on a budget.

The neighborhood was great. We were walking distance to the bus, metro,and train lines. The open market was charming and the resturants were friendly and the food was fantastic. We walked to the Eiffel Tower safely at night to view the light show. Thanks for everything we had a great time.

Location: Difficult to beat as so many key attractions are very close and the Rue Cler market is extremely handy and has quality food (including
easy take home/out).

Entertainment: The Sling Box which provides US TV via the internet worked very well, and although you are watching TV from another time zone (EST), it was very nice to have and allowed us to catch the finale of Dancing with the Stars.

Apartment: The description and pictures were accurate; everything worked as expected.

Of note: Although the church bells do not ring at night, they do ring every 15 minutes starting from 9:45am until about 9 pm. After a couple of days we got used to it and they do have a nice sound. Also in Paris, there is so much to keep you out exploring.

Super location and super stay.

Thanks a million to Suzan and Walter for making us feel so welcome at the apartment at Rue Pierre Villey.

We arrived late at night (2 adults and 3 kids) and they waited to let us in, made sure we knew where everything was and how it worked then left it to us. The apartment was fully stocked with everything we needed - we just needed to replace what we used.

The location was superb, a short pleasant walk from the Champs de Mars, Eiffel Tower, Invalides and Pont Alexandre III. Rue Cler itself was very pleasant.

The apartment is perfectly presented and very pleasantly decorated.

We had a super time and would very definitely recommend the apartment to other visitors.

It's not easy finding a vacation rental that will take
a family with three kids and two dogs! Suzan, the
owner, was extremely pleasant to settle all details
with, and we found ourselves the happy occupants
of her spacious, bright, and quiet apartment for
two weeks in February.
I'd especially like to mention how well the
apartment worked for our children and our two
large dogs. Everyone had more than enough room,
and the apartment is situated in a safe and
convenient neighborhood. We were minutes from
the Champs de Mars, THE dog-walking park in
Paris; the Luxembourg Gardens, a great place for
both kids and dogs, was a pleasant stroll away.
A nice touch to this apartment is Suzan's "honor
bar" system. When we arrived we were able to make
a pot of coffee from the supply in the pantry. After
finding the Starbucks the next day, I was able to
enjoy great coffee and top up the supply before we
left.
The great market shopping and the many traiteurs-
-take away shops-- in this neighborhood were
convenient for fixing a quick and delicious dinner
"at home" after a day of sightseeing, especially key
when you've got tired and hungry kids who don't
want to face a long, drawn-out dinner at the
restaurant. (Leave the kids with Emily, Suzan's
fantastic assistant, and leave the restaurant dining
to the adults!)
By the end of our trip we were all chiming in with
my husband, who would invariably say at the return
of nearly every outing: "I can't believe the location
of this place!"
A truly wonderful vacation. Now we need to
convince Suzan to offer other rental properties in
the rest of the world.

We stayed at this lovely apartment in the fall of 2007. We had 5 in our group of travelers and the apartment was perfect! Tons of room and a well appointed kitchen, and withing walking distance of most sights and museums, not to mention the famous Rue Cler shopping area.
