***** 5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sam's place in the heart of Paris with 3 small children aged, 6, 3 and 5 months old. We stayed there for 6 nights and was sad to leave without seeing any snow. Sam's description of the place was very accurate and the location was the best. We walked to the Louvre almost every day and was able to get on a hop on/hop off bus from Hard Rock Cafe just across the street. Sam's place was clean enough but we had to move some furniture around the studio to make enough space for all 5 of us. Even tho the studio was small it was cozy enough and we enjoyed our stay. Also on our last day Sam allowed us to check out late due to our late flight and having a baby. She accommodated every needs we had and was even willing to make an appointment with her doctor when i became ill for a day! When/if we go back to Paris, we'll definitely stay at Sam's place again. Thanks Sam, for such a wonderful experience in Paris!

We took our two teen-aged kids to London and Paris for Christmas break. Our stay at the flat in Paris was magical. Everything was better than expected. The flat was clean and tidy, with plenty of room for the four of us, certainly more than a hotel.

The apartment is centrally located, easy walking distance to L’Opera, the Louvre, Place de la Concorde and the pedestrian market along Rue Montorgueil. I’d recommend walking a lot; it allowed me to eat and drink my way through the city while losing two pounds in the process! Metro stops are also nearby. (If you have an iPhone, download the 99 cent Paris metro app; it will prove invaluable as it does not need internet access to work.)

Locally, we ate at Vaudeville (a bit pricy, but very nice), Victoria Station (great pizza and reasonable wine) and got baguettes and croissants at the nearby boulangeries. We also brought bread, wine, cheese and fruit home from the market at Montorgueil and had breakfast, lunch and snacks in a few days.

Samantha’s recommendations were spot on. She has a book with hints, places to see and shop, local super markets and other valuable information.

I cannot recommend this place more. The people in the building were polite and helpful. The area is clean and safe. There is plenty to see and do nearby with options for farther travel if you need or want. Samantha and her apartment made this portion of our trip perfect. If/when we return to Paris, we will stay here.

We stayed in Sam's apartment for two weeks in March. It is exactly as presented on this site. Since I have difficulty walking, this apartment is a wonderful location, as there is a hop on hop off bus stop at Hard Rock. We booked tours through Viator to Normandy and for dinner at the Eiffel tower and show at Moulin Rouge. The local operator provided great service. The tours were great fun.

Sam's Mom saved us when we lost our keys by getting us in quickly and providing us with new keys. We also enjoyed our visit with her. Many thanks

This was the second time I stayed at the apartment and I will definitely stay here again. The apartment is centrally located and an easy walk to the Louvre, the Metro, shopping, groceries, and restaurants. In fact, my husband and I only used the Metro twice.Using the apartment as our starting point we walked everywhere including Montmarte, Notre Dame,and the Arc de Triomphe.
The owner's description of the studio is very accurate. The apartment is clean, comfortable and quiet. It easily accommodates 2-4 people.
Her directions to the apartment, for the TV and internet were easy to follow. She also responded quickly to my emails.
I have already recommended the apartment to friends and relatives

The positives are; the location is wonderful, we walked everywhere; the bathroom was a good size with a good shower; the courtyard you walk through to get to the quaint lift is pretty; local amenities are good; some of the furniture was beautiful, particularly the antique sideboard; the 2 single beds were comfortable; adequate kitchen utensils for the time we stayed (3 nights); the cost was fair for the location.

The negatives for us were; poor correspondence, very last minute with arrival details which I had to ask for twice; NO king size bed! The description states "This apartment has a KING-SIZE bed, two single sofa beds.." this is NOT the case. Two single beds pushed together is not a king size and should maybe say twin beds? If you are on a romantic break (which it states this 'apartment' is suitable for), sleeping in separate beds is not so romantic. The two single sofa beds are 2 folded up thin foam mattress' that are stored in the hallway; the sofa is old, shabby and looks dirty; the apartment wasn't cleaned very well, skirting boards, windowsills and bathroom floor were dirty and the cream carpet was particularly marked and dirty.

We felt that even with a small amount of money spent to update some of this studio, it could be turned in to a very desirable, chic place to stay that would deserve 5 stars. The 3 stars we scored were for the location and price. I feel it would be fair to your potential customers to be more accurate with the description, in particular the KING SIZE bed.

To finish on a positive, I would recommend people to stay if the description was a little more accurate.

The location is fantastic! It truly is close to everything. We walked everywhere and felt very safe. In terms of the room, it's cozy, comfortable and very quiet for four of us (we had two little kids). We would highly recommend this apartment. We had a magical time in Paris and Samantha's apartment played a big part.

We had a wonderful time in Sam's apartment. While small, it is a typical size for Paris and four of us found it more than adequate. Besides, why spend time in an apartment when Paris is outside your door.

The apartment had everything you need and with a supermarket two blocks away and plenty of shops, restaurants and food stores near by, we didn’t feel the need to venture far or pay a lot for food. It was great to be in an area that was close to lots of things but didn’t feel like it was the centre of the tourist area. A great chance to experience life as a Parisian.

The little black books in the apartment have great tips for visitors to Paris left by others who have stayed there. We found these absolutely valuable.

The location is superb. Easy walk to the Opera or the Louvre and transport available nearby, you definitely do not need a car. We would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to friends.
