Location: Paris Arrondissement 5, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (Steps from famous Rue Mouffetard, on edge of Latin Quarter!)

Accommodations:  Apartment, Studio, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)

Please Note: 5-night minimum

The sunny studio, appropriate for one or two adults (there are currently one approx King-Sized Murphy bed and an inflatable queen sized aerobed), is on the top floor of an 18th century Haussman style building that blends harmoniously with the lovely architecture of the fifth arrondisement.  It is steps from the famous Rue Mouffetard, home of the most famous street market in all of Paris, adjacent to the historic Eglise St. Medard and a short stroll from the Censier-Daubenten Metro station. 

It overlooks a Maple trees on the side of a serene plaza, which is bordered by quiet sidewalk cafes, shops and restaurants, and the Censier-Daubenton Metro station.  Like a Parisian, one must climb stairs (six flights) to gain access but the view (see photo) is definitely worth the climb!

The studio is equipped with decorative fireplace, stove, coffee maker, microwave oven, refrigerator, telephone, answering machine, washer, dryer, television, VCR (European format), toaster oven, hair dryer, stereo, king-sized bed, table and chairs, large armoire, linen, towels, bath tub and American style shower with plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure, plates, dinnerware, cooking pots and pans, glassware and utensils.

The bed (photo) folds into the wall unit for added space during the day.  The kitchen is equipped with all utensils, glassware, and kitchenware one might need, and has a small electric stove, toaster and microwave oven.  The telephone may be used for local calls or to call anywhere you wish with your telephone card which may be purchased at nearby stores. 

The apartment has electric heat and three windows for excellent ventilation.  Bring your own toothbrush; everything else is there for you!  The studio is owned and lovingly maintained by an American who understands the fragile beauty of this part of Paris and visits whenever he gets a chance.

The building is a short walk from a large American style supermarket, cybercafes, large public underground parking garage, health club, bank, automated 24-hour video rental shops, and the Metro.  All of these modern conveniences have been integrated into the local architecture without garish or obtrusive signage. 

Additionally, there are at least four cafes and five restaurants within 100 yards of the front of the building, and wonderful boulangeries, a large assortment of wine and cheese shops, bistros and brasseries, and the greatest variety of ethnic restaurants in all of Paris within a five or ten minute walk. 

For the quintissential Paris experience, you need go no further than the famous rue Mouffetard during a market day and stroll along with the crowd.  For a quick escape from the bustling streets of Paris, stroll five minutes to the Jardin des Plantes or fifteen minutes to the Jardin Luxembourg, where Ernest Hemingway first met Gertrude Stein.  A little bit longer stroll or a 10-minute jog brings one to the banks of the Seine, the Notre Dame and le Marais, the very center of Paris.

  • I just returned from 10 nights in the apartment with my daughter-in-law. It was my fifth time to Paris and my first time not staying at a hotel. I will tell you that Dave is the nicest person to deal with. He answered all my questions that I e-mailed to him frequently. Moos was great even when we got to the apartment two hours late. Loved the privacy, the coffee maker, the washing machine and the Metro just out the door. The stairs weren't as scary as I thought they would be but part of the charm of the building. I just hope that when I am ready to go back that the apartment is still available.

  • My 16 year old daughter had a lovely stay in the apartment in June. We absolutely loved shopping Rue Mouteffard! So much so that we made all of our breakfasts and dinners in the apartment. The stairs aren't for the lazy, but we enjoyed the extra calorie burning! We would definitely stay here again.

  • We especially enjoyed your view over the neighborhood; my husband often stood at the window, observing all comings and goings while waiting for me to get ready. We got used to the stairs, especially as our climb was often accompanied by beautiful piano playing. The water was piping hot coming out of the faucets; thanks for the warning! The washing machine could have been useful but was far too complicated to operate. Moos was a great help to us - a friendly, personable man. We enjoyed the area - it is lively and colorful - and hope to visit again.

  • A charming apartment in a great location in Paris. Just minutes from the Metro station and a great food market right behind the building. The views from the apartment window are wonderful. Although there are a fair amount of stairs to climb to get to the apartment, it does offer charm and comfort well worth the effort.

  • We visited the apartment in May 2009 to celebrate a wedding anniversary. The studio was very clean and perfect for our needs. We appreciated the amenities in the apartment - the refrigerator, telephone, washer & dryer. I cannot say enough how much we loved it! The stairs were not too bad and it was great exercise. The location is also wonderful. You are right next to Rue Mouffetard in which there are lots of local cafes and yummy restaurants. We would recommend trying the yummy sorbet shop that sells cones that look like flowers. We also loved the bakery that is across the street from Starbucks. It is absolutely amazing and the desserts are irreristable. If you would like to find internet access, you can pay for some at Starbucks or you can get free internet at McDonalds which is just a block or two past McDonalds. Good luck to future visitors and happy travels!

    Dear Guests, I can't believe it has been seven years since I found my little piece of heaven in "la mouff!" I've just spent a couple of long weekends there scraping, painting, fixing a few things, and believe it should be looking much better in the bathroom and kitchen now. The building entrance and staircase are still showing their age but I find that part of the charm of staying in an older part of Paris... I will continue to make small improvements during the next year so please let me know of anything that needs upgrading. As one guest mentioned, there is a new Starbucks on the rue Monge a few hundred yards distant that has WiFi, and for the first time I've seen Parisians taking coffee to go and walking about with a Starbucks cup in hand!

  • Apartment was as described and the pictures (inside and out) are exactly what you will experience. It was a great location for us - away for tourist traps, but close to the historical sites. Rue Muffard (spelling?) is behind the building which has many small vendors - we highly recomment the bakery just behind the building and there is a small grocery story for basics supplies. There is internet access at the Starbucks down the street. Highly recommend this spot.

  • We stayed in this apartment for a week in April; it is very comfortable and clean and the owner and manager were helpful and responsive. The location is unbeatable with the market and the proximity to interesting parts of the city.

  • Stayed in this apartment for a week, and it was great. It's in a great neighborhood, the apartment is comfortable, the owner and manager are great. Couldn't ask for more. No complaints at all.

  • I spent a wonderful week in Paris in this studio with my 16-year old daughter. We felt comfortable and safe and really loved the look and feel of this lively neighborhood. There are just so many quality food products available on La Rue Mouffetard - we needed to walk up those stairs to burn off some calories! The metro was really close, and it's a great line for getting to so many of the museums and attractions. W've been to Paris a few times, but we'll remember our stay in this studio as one of our favorites.
