181 Rue Cler Delight One Bedroom II  

Description from the manager

Please inquire for Availability. Availability calendars may not be accurate.

Reserve now to enjoy this great area! Do your shopping or just window browsing, in the rue Cler Village. Watch the locals and with your own Parisian apartment waiting for you, feel like a local Parisian!Only a two minute walk to the famous rue Cler area, it is also only one minute to convenient transport as well to line 8, Ecole Militaire. Rue Cler is a true "VILLAGE ATMOSPHERE" within Paris, with so many fruit/vegetable/food stands, which are supplied directly from the farmers in the countryside. You will stroll this cobblestone pedestrian street along with al...l the French shoppers, with your basket in hand to collect all the freshest produce and goodies you desire! There are many food and specialty shops, including not only French, but Italian and diverse Mediterranean as well. The flower shops spill over onto the road, bursting with a flurry of color and fresh cut flowers. People bustle about, choosing just the right ingredients while going from shop to shop; the right virgin oil, the best mushrooms, advice on which wine to compliment your food, and of course, a pause for coffee either standing or sitting down, while enjoying some of the best people watching around! Which coffee or lunch place to choose? With so many, you can change each day!

This apartment is located on a quiet open courtyard with large evergreen trees just outside the windows. The building itself is next to a great gem of a southwestern style French Bistro, and just around the corner are your bakeries and grocery stores as well. On the 2 nd European floor (3 rd US), it is easily accessed by the wide gentle stairs, and is the only apartment on the entire floor, adding again to its quiet/tranquil atmosphere!

The owners of this apartment love Paris and have ensured all comforts are supplied. The bedroom features a queen size bed which can be configured as two separate twins with a chest of drawers between with a fitted a large "top mattress" in the bedroom. The living room offers an excellent high quality queen size sofa pull out sleeper. Included is a good size kitchen and bathroom area, with an extra large hot water heating tank for your comfort. It is air-conditioned for those hot summer days as well. There are three large double pane windows facing out to the quietest of courtyards, so all rooms feature a window, including the kitchen and bathroom.

A full dining table for up to six people and a completely outfitted kitchen, with large refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and microwave, stovetop and many specialty items such as cappuccino/coffee makers, copper pots for cooking, all new dishes and cutlery will ensure you enjoy to cook!

While this apartment was fully renovated in late 2008, we would like to point out there are some small areas of peeling paint, or small cracks in the paint on walls. As this building is form the mid-1800’s (19 th Century), when only wooden beams were used, the building does sometimes shift a tiny bit and can cause the paint to peel/crack. Everything else is in top shape and working fine.

Additionally, there is a separate room for both your luggage storage and the separated washer and dryer units, on the same floor and locked for private use.Read more

  Excellent value in favorite arrondisement

  Left on 04/04/2011 for a stay in March 2011
  
  

  There were actually three adults who stayed for a week in late March: married couple with one best friend (male), who slept well (at 6'6" and about 235 lbs.) on the pullout sofa bed. It was comfortable, if just a tad cozy. Obviously an older building but the apt. itself was modern. We were all able to relax after long day sightseeing, enjoy dinner at home, and get rested for next day's adventures. Double bed quite good. Bathroom clean and modern, shower a delight especially for tall guy. Environment was extremely quiet and restful. The two flights of stairs were not a problem, just take it slow if tired and with luggage first day. Felt secure with three keypads to go through.
  The kitchen was well-appointed, although it lacked drinking glasses (wine glasses, mugs only). Everything worked,household items in good condition. Plenty of food stores, restos, cafes around corner. Most convenient for connecting all over Paris and Ile de France. Laundry room (washer, dryer) next door a big plus. Manager was available if problems arose (none did). He popped in to say hello, which was nice.
  No unpleasant surprises, only happy memories! For what we paid, it had everything necessary for a good night's sleep, eating light, basic laundry and a place to call home.
  Our second VIP rental, certainly not the last.

  Great Paris Home Base!

  Left on 12/20/2010 for a stay in October 2010
  
  

  This apartment was an excellent home base for our 5 days in Paris. It was an easy walk to nearby shops, restaurants and cafes. Also convenient to public transportation (Metro and bus), and within walking distance of several major Paris attractions. It was comfortable, quite well equipped, and in an inner courtyard so away from street noise. (We occasionally heard the people in the apt above us.) We would definitely book it again.

  Real Paris

  Left on 08/02/2010 for a stay in May 2008
  
  

  We heard only french spoken in our building. We were just around the corner from the Lecole Militaire - 5 minutes walk from la Tour Eiffel . The bouf bourguignon at the Café Tour was as authentic as I've had - three blocks away. La Rue Claire was just around the corner. What was there not to like for an old but adventurous couple. The apt. is really for two, maybe a couple of kids if they were well sedated.

  Fun hideaway in Paris

  Left on 10/13/2009 for a stay in September 2009
  
  

  This small one bedroom apartment has everything you need to make your stay in Paris comfortable. Situated in a great neighborhood, you can quickly get anywhere in Paris via metro. Neighborhood shops, including the famous Rue Cler markets make a relaxing morning "at home" the perfect way to start a busy day of sightseeing.
  
  Getting through the several doors and up the winding stairs adds to the fun. But pack light as it is two tight flights up. The kitchen is very well stocked, the bed is comfortable, the shower lovely and what more could you ask for? Wireless? Yes! TV? Yes as well. And free calls to the States to tell your friends and family how much fun you are having in Paris.

  Rue Cler Delight Indeed!

  Left on 09/17/2009 for a stay in August 2009
  
  

  We have booked apartments with Vacation in Paris 3 times (2004, 2006, & 2009). We always have found the service outstanding.
  
  The Apt. #181 was wonderful. It was our first stay in the Rue Cler neighborhood. Great little cafes and market.
  
  The apartment was a delight. It had been modernized-great kitchen and bathroom.
  Walk in shower was the best. The washer and dryer--a stack American style were the best we've had--not just a combo small waher/dryer you usually find. Very helpful it getting our laundry clean after 5 days in Venice.
  The flat screen TV had English channels-BBC, CNN etc. Also the instructions for all the applicance were great. Also nice that we had free calls home to the States. The bed was wonderfu-the pillows though were "flat" definitely need new pillows!
  The sofa could have been more comfortable and it would have been nice to have a foot stool.
  
  All in all an excellent choice and one we would love to come home to on our next trip to Paris.

  Fabulous Stay in Rue Clere Delight

  Left on 07/31/2009 for a stay in July 2009
  
  

  This was truly a delightful apartment! There were three of us (with one teenager) and the size of the apartment was just perfect. It's also off on a side street, so it was very quiet. The view from the windows are into a court - so not much to see - but hey, it's Paris so you really don't stay in the apartment for that long. All the amenities were there including a fully stocked kitchen (plates, pots n pans, etc.) - not to mention a bottle of wine upon arrival. Beautful bathroom and shower (relatively large for Paris standards) and a washer/dryer located in a room in the hallway (and worked perfectly). The location is excellent - a short walk to the Metro station, a Marche (supermarket) around the corner and several restaurants close by. There was even a taxi stand a two minute walk from the apartment - which worked out perfectly when we needed a cab to take us to the airport. All in all, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this apartment again.
  
  BTW - The rental agency (Vacation in Paris) were top notch. They were extremely helpful with our selections, the booking experience and the followup. AS with the apartment, I would also highly recommend their services.

  Location is perfect!

  Left on 07/03/2009 for a stay in June 2009
  
  

  This apartment is ideally situated. It is a block from the nearest Metro station, a 10-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower, and a 10-minute walk to Rue Cler (an amazing pedestrian street with fruit and vegetable vendors, bakeries, pastry shops, butchers, prepared foods,and restaurants). The apartment has a washer and dryer, but we chose to use the commercial laundramat just 1/2 block away. The laundramat was spotless, the machines new and it took about 1/2 the time the smaller washer and dryer at the apartment would have taken. The prices were reasonable and there were instructions in English. The apartment, itself, was quite comfortable. The kitchen was well set up with a very large counter. The bath was quite nice. The only improvement we could suggest is some better pillows! We truly enjoyed being able to have our breakfast in the apartment, rather than having to go out every day. We highly recommend this apartment.

  Back Stairs Quarters

  Left on 05/22/2009 for a stay in May 2008
  
  

  This was a highly utilitarian apartment near Rue Claire and the ?cole Militaire. It was clean and had a good bed and well equiped kitchen and eating area for two. Typical of an apartment block in Paris, there is an outer ring of apartments which front the street; then there is an inner set of buildings in which this apartment was located. It felt a great deal like a maids quarters which it probably had been. It could be used by three adults or 2 adults and two children but four adults would be tight. I would rent it again.

  Absolutely wonderful

  Left on 05/21/2009 for a stay in December 2007
  
  

  We stayed in this gorgeous little appartment for one week just before Christmas. We celebrated our anniversary in Paris, before moving on to London to be with family. It was quaint with typical French architecture. We walked across the courtyard to get to wooden stairs and up to the first floor. Small windows overlook another courtyard. We couldn't have had a better experience. We adored it. The apartment was warm and cozy, so inviting as it was very cold outside.
  
  It was close to everything. We walked to the Eiffel Tower and the D'Orsay and had many walks along the picturesque Seine just to soak up the atmosphere and look at everything. The metro is just around the corner to take you anywhere you want to go. And buses run along the Seine and to view lights of Champ's Elysees at night. What a magnificent city, such great architecture wherever you look.
  
  This apartment is an old block but has been renovated to a modern style inside. It had the best shower and very comfortable bed. Small but adequate kitchen but we mainly preferred to frequent the wonderful French cafe's. It is small but more than adequate for two people. Four people would be a bit cozy with two people sleeping in the lounge area.
  
  It is just a short walk to the Rue Cler Markets to get delicious fresh French produce. My husband would go down every morning to get fresh croissants and bread from the bakery. It was a magnificent visit to Paris and the apartment added to our experience.
  
  We were concerned when the keys hadn't arrived one week before departure as advised. We contacted them, they got straight back to us and were very reassuring and stated that another set would be availabe for pick up in Paris and gave us instructions in the event that they did not arrive but were confident that they would. The keys arrived 2 days later and we were very relieved.
  
  Instructions of how to get there and access were easy to follow. There were two security systems in the building.

  Better value than any Parisian hotel I have stayed in (more space,
  better facilities), good location - a very good option for a stay in Paris.
