Our family had a great time and enjoyed our stay in Paris. We were glad that we chose Pierre’s apartment as the apartment is in a perfect location and great for first time visitors to Paris. It was clean, cosy and well equipped with everything we need. Pierre was extremely helpful and promptly answered all our questions and returned our calls. We were happy with Pierre’s services and will definitely consider staying here if we were to visit Paris again. Will recommend the apartment to friends visiting Paris. To Pierre, thanks for a great stay.

Pierre was wonderful with information about the area, metro and responded quickly to any of our questions. The location of this apartment is awesome as it is right on the Champs Elysees. Very close to the metro, excellent shopping and within walking distance to many attractions.

We stayed in the same apartment for the 2nd time in 4 months. The apartment is in great location and good condition. It's in a quiet and secured building, very conveniently located. Did not return late in the evening during the recent stay, but when we left for airport in the early morning (5am) the security guard was around right outside of the building. The owner Pierre is very helpful and responsive to answer any questions I asked. I strongly recommend this apartment.

My husband and I stayed at the apartment for a week. I choose the apartment based upon the reviews I saw on this site. Unfortunately, our experience was not at all like those reviews. In this price category we were not expecting upscale amenities, but expected and deserved at least cleanliness and security. The apartment provided neither. The kitchen was not clean. There was dirt and dust on the appliances and the inside of the refrigerator was very dirty. I was not willing to spend my time in Paris cleaning the kitchen. My husband used it to make cereal and tea in the morning, but I would not cook in the kitchen. As a result, we did not have the opportunity to save a little money and have a little fun by having dinners in our apartment. The rug in the living room was stained and dirty. The only place to hang clothing was a storage closet that was not clean and had dirty cleaning rags on the floor. Security was also an issue. The apartment is right on the Champs Elysees, so security is important in this location. One evening we returned around 11:30 p.m. to find the security gate wide open. Several young men were congregating by the elevator and others were coming in the open security gate. No guard was around. As it turned out, they were going to our floor for an all night party. Until around 3:00 a.m. there were people who were obviously drunk and drinking screaming, yelling, breaking glass, slamming doors, and walking up and down the hallway. Obviously, we could not sleep through this. At other times when we arrived at the apartment after 11:00 when the security gate was supposed to be locked and a guard on duty we found there was no guard in sight. On two more nights there were loud parties on our floor till around midnight: more yelling, slamming doors, and clearly drunk people. This apartment was not clean, not quiet and not secure.

Owner response:Dear Madam, I understand your concerns about your stay. Concerning the kitchen, I lastly increased the wages of the lady who clean the apartment, considering that she made a good job, and according to all the feedback you have seen yourself on the website. However on this special day before your arrival, she was not very well, which maybe have caused that the level of cleanliness didn't meet your expectations. Concerning the security I am very surprised. We pay the security guard high enough for them to make their job. And they do ! I remembered a guest who left her bag, at the corridor, and of course *outside* the apartment. When the guard saw it, he brought it to the security office, for security reason. And with the camera databases, found where apartment the bag belongs (he saw the lady going out of the apartment with the bag), and brought it to her. We can't pay 10 persons patrolling the whole building. But it's still exceptional that a building have a team guarding the building 24h/24, with guards patrols. For your concerns, I can't prevent my neighbors from organizing parties. But if they are noisy, it's the matter of the police (no noise can be made after 11:00 pm). But maybe you should have told me those problems at once, so that I can call the guards and help you feel more comfortable. It's one of the reasons why I gave to my guests my mobile phone number. You should have told me at once. In these cases I could have helped you. During all your stay, you wrote me just once, about the TV. I gave you explanations on how to use it. By having no further news from you I supposed that everything went fine. I regret I could not have the opportunity to help you having a good stay in Paris. Best Regards, Pierre

Perfect Stay

Our family stayed for 2 weeks - it enabled us to prepare lunches for our busy sightseeing days and stop at the Monoprix and get dinner on most days. We were able to just walk down the stairs to see La Parade militaire de la Bastille AND be able to see the Tour de France final. What a privilege! We loved our stay - this place is both clean and practical. We would stay there again...Pierre the owner is very professional and provided us with much of the information we used to visit Paris. Merci Pierre!

We were on a sightseeing trip to Paris and stayed at this place. A clean comfy place with easy access to all places of interest. Perfectly suitable for families with young kids very safe with 24 hr security. The owner was very kind and helpful and provided all the help that we needed right away. We would like to thank him for that. Perfectly located... on Champs Elysees we were glad we chose this place.

The flat was exactly as described and pictured in the listing! The location of the flat is Fabulous, right in the middle of the Champs Elysees! There are several metro stops within a few minute walk, lots of restaurants, bakeries and even a walmart type store! If you can't give up your Starbucks there is one in the building!! It is within about a 15 minute walk to the Eiffel tower and a local street market. The owner answered all our questions and made it very easy to pay for our stay through paypal so there was no confusion with the conversion of money. The price was Great and it offered everything you could need and we were pleasantly surprised that you could not hear street noise in the Flat even with the windows open all night!. We loved everything about the Flat and would ABSOLUTELY use this rental again.
