“Live like a Parisian” I stayed in two of Didier's apartments. The first night we stayed in his one bedroom. This is a decent sized apartment with old Parisian charm such as wood floors. It is a good size for 2 to 4 people (second bed is in living room). The next 4 nights we stayed in his' two bedroom apartment in an adjacent building. It is large and spacious (except for the toilet room and bathroom, which are quite small). One large bedroom looks out onto the main street making it a very bright and cheerful room, but is very quiet because of the double glass door/window used to insulate the sound. The second bedroom is a little smaller and has a window on the inner courtyard of the building. The kitchen is modern and has all of the necessities. The location is on the boarder of the 7th and 15th districts, and a few short blocks from the metro. While the location is not in the center of the tourist areas, I enjoyed the location. Didier was a great host and very helpful. The only negative is both apartments could use a good spring cleaning. There is some mold in the bathrooms, but mostly I would define the dirt as every day living sort of dirt. Bottom line I feel like I got a good sense of what it is like to live in Paris. Thanks Didier.

“Fantastique! Mervielleux!” The location can't be beat. We wandered down the street after a long day & I would make a point of hanging out by the entrance pretending it was my home. I'd wait for other tourists to come by & fiddle with my keys etc. We like to keep the windows open at night- noise level? No problem at all & I like to hear the city at night. Bedrooms (& beds) were very quiet & conducive to a good night's sleep. We went out for meals but also cooked. Kitchen was comfortable & it's easy to put a meal together with all the shops down the block. Bottom line: it's extremely comfortable & is such a great alternative to hotels. I think it's the only way to travel now. Beware you may need to get pulled out kicking & screaming- you won't want to leave I assure you.

“Forget hotels - stay here!” Booked this as a surprise trip after proposing to my now-fiancée and we absolutely loved it. After searching hotel comparison sites and finding tiny rooms anywhere were £250+ per night, I decided to have a look on Homeaway.co.uk. Reviews for this place were great and the pictures looked amazing - as others have said, this is an absolute bargain compared to much more basic hotel rooms. The pictures don't do the apartment justice - it is incredibly luxurious but also comfortable, with everything you could possibly want provided and offered by the owner. Great for a special occasion or just any trip to Paris really! The location is perfect, just minutes from the Champs-Élysées and around the corner from a Metro station. We rarely used the Metro, with the arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Eiffel Tower and arguably Notre-Dame within walking distance. A few handy shops nearby - no bakeries/patisseries were open when I looked but it was Easter weekend... some great restaurants nearby, would particularly recommend Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit (details in the welcome pack provided). We were extremely surprised they didn't have a Michelin star and they were extremely welcoming, not a fussy dress code etc. (P.S. I strongly recommend the châteaubriand!) Other things to note are that the building is extremely secure, the owner is very trustworthy & that every need will be catered for during your stay. Wouldn't consider staying anywhere else next time I visit Paris and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. 12 out of 10!

“Paris in style!” A beautifully furnished flat in a VII Century Palace. Well equipped for at least 8 people with comfortable beds and quality bedding. Excellent welcome. Very Parisian neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, boutiques, museums and gourmet shops. A few blocks from Notre Dame. the Seine and place de Vogues. A definitely come back. Merci!

“Best vacation ever!!” I really enjoyed staying at this apartment. The apartment is perfect, very functional and so beautiful. My children were very pleased to play with all the toys.We enjoyed the view, particularly the Eiffel tower! Everything is close by. We walked everywhere, to the movies, to the grocery shops, and I loved all the "boutiques" in Boulogne. The subway was not even 5 minutes away from the apartment ( and the bus is at the end of the street)and with children, I found it very practical to go around Paris. In less than 20 minutes, we were in the heart of Paris!! What can I say, I loved it, and we are ready to come back next year!!I would definitively recommend this place!!! Loved it!

“Superb Paris apartment” I rented this amazing apartment for a week in June for my adult son and I for his Birthday and it just could not have been more ideal. We fell in love with it immediately. He had his own spacious bedroom with ensuite and I enjoyed my fantastic bedroom and marble ensuite and cute little deck where we had our breakfasts overlooking the garden. The kitchen is extremely well equipped but we paid morning visits to Le Notre for pastries & stocked up on a few cheeses and fruits from Monoprix for breakfast and ate out the rest of the time. Ellen showed us our apartment and spent all the time we needed to get acquainted with our new place, she is the best ! We were so lucky to get this ultra clean apartment in a wonderful quiet neighborhood and would not hesitate to stay there again !! A short walk to the end of the block with a glance to the left rewards you with a glorious view of the L'Arc de Triomphe. What's not to like ?

“Great Apartment, Great Location” Newly renovated apartment, and everything worked. Layout worked well for 2 couples. Apartment was clean and fresh on arrival. The manager was helpful and went out of his way to show how all appliances worked and where the supplies were located. One real convenience was that he left supplies - garbage bags, seasonings, sugar, salt, etc, so we did not have to purchase everything! The apartment is just around the corner from a great shopping street - groceries, restaurants, wine shops - everything you need for an enjoyable stay. And the subway/metro is just a few steps out the front door, making for easy travel in inclement weather. Notre Dame and the Louvre are about 10 walking minutes away. Other major museums are a bit further. Note: WiFi was better than we have at home. What a great place!!
