This location is truly perfect for visiting Paris ! If you're going to cook you have everything you'll need in the stores on the same block ! We were worried the apt might be noisy at night - but not at all - very peaceful. Fond memories ... thx RentParis.

We had a really pleasant 3 day stay at 29 rue Rambuteau. It is superbly situated with every convenience on the doorstep. There were 4 of us including our 5 year old grandson who was amazed at the spiral staircase.There was everything in the apartment that we needed, but the kettle needs replacing as it was in quite a dangerous condition. We would certainly consider returning there in the future if we ever visit Paris again. David & Paula Boocock, Brittany, France and Jo & Eliott Swan, London, England

Bonjour! We really enjoyed our stay at 29 Rue Rambuteau during the recent Christmas period (22 to 28 Dec 2009). Due to severe delays on the Eurostar service from London to Gare du Nord, we arrived a couple of hours later than originally planned but our contacts in Paris (Fabrice & Jean-Pierre) were extremely helpful and flexible, and we were met at the apartment at the revised time by a very friendly and helpful Jean-Pierre. The apartment itself was warm and cosy (most important, given the prevailing cold weather)and it is of course extremely well located for shops, restaurants and the Metro. Before leaving, we recorded our highly favourable impressions in the visitors' book in the apartment. However, there are a number of minor points which may require attention before the next visitors arrive: a. Batteries need replacing in one of the TV handsets (for national TV) b. Light bulbs above oven need replacing. c. The selection of wine glasses is very limited. These are minor points. Overall, the apartment was ideal for two persons and we hope to stay there again.

We stayed on Rambuteau for 6 weeks, our third visit - the fact that we have returned says it: this aparttment is well-located, is a nice size, and is well laid out. With the separation of the LR and BR and the washroom between, it is a good space for more than 2 people (the only problem that the LR door does not stay shut). J-P is a friendly and helpful host; the weekly cleaners do a fine job. My only suggestion is that the apt should have an annual inspection to pick up on small items, such as the broken light switch in the LR, the worn down door stop, and mildewing on the grouting in the shower, which we cleaned with bleach (this time and 2 years ago) to return it to white. Also, the washer needs to cleaned as it has an odour which passes to the clothes. I cleaned the laser on the CD player which would not play when we arrived. I doubt the owner wants his fine apt to decline.

Owner response:Bonjour John, Thank you for your msg. As listed on the welcome book, we are not living in the apartment, and we ask to the clients to pick up the phone and to let us know if there are any problems have to be fixed. I regret that you didn't take the time to call me (free phone call from the apartment). Regards, Fabrice

All our family of four found the appartment to be a quiet and comfortable shelter where we could come and rest from the wild activity of the streets. Not to say that we enjoyed it very much! It is suberbly located in the center of the city with all amenities around including animated pedestrian streets. The appartment itself inspires wellness with good natural light, nicely furnished and equiped. We would surely recommand it or come ourselves again.

Our stay (me and three others) in the Rambuteau apartment was fabulous! We really appreciated the proximity to the metro, the museums and sights nearby and the wonderful amenities on the street below. The apartment itself was extremely well equipped and also managed to retain a sense of character and charm. At times it was a little hot (at night) but the fan helped. We were happily surprised by the size of the apartment, which used the space effectively and easily housed four. The check-in process was efficient and easy. Overall, we would definitely stay in the apartment again and would recommend it to others. It has everything you could need! Jasmine, Jesse, Katie and Sam

Our stay in the Marais in this apartment was outstanding. The apartment was like a home away from home and the absolute perfect way to enjoy Paris. We stayed for a month and really made the apartment home. We were sad to leave - but we will be back. We want to return and will use RentParis to explore another Arrondissement. The on site staff were excellent, whatever we asked for was done without fuss. The best praise we can gice is that we will definitely be back and we will use RentParis to select another great apartment. Merci beaucoup!!! PS - A DVD player would be a worthwhile addition.

We just got back from France where we spent a 1 week vacation. This appartment was a very good choice - all the described features on RentParis web page were available. It was quiet and comfortable. We are a family of 4 and it did a great job for us. There is easy access to public transportation via Metro (if you thought about renting a car in Paris, think again!) and there are also a lot of choices for grocery shopping or restaurants in the nearby area. We also had wireless internet and it worked perfectly. I have 2 suggestions - the floor is quite squeaky and it would probably deserve some adjustments. Second - the use of the washer/dryer is a "guess" work: although Jean Pierre explained us how to set it up, it still didn't do a very good job, leaving some of our clothes poorly rinsed. All in all it was a very good experience, kids loved Paris and my wife and I are looking forward to our next parisian vacation, which we hope to have it arranged through RentParis again.

This was a great place to stay. The location was perfect, very close to the Metro and a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame. The representative met us promptly at the apartment and was very welcoming. We enjoyed our 6 night stay!
