Live the French life-style with spacious, American-style comfort in Paris! Located in the safest and most exclusive area of Paris between the Eiffel Tower and Invalides at the quiet dead-end of the famous open market street, Rue Cler, this spacious, sunny, two-level 110 m2 apartment (approximately 1210 square feet) is superbly located for a family or friends who want to live at ease in Paris.

Well-behaved children and/or dogs are welcome here. With the market, cafés and shopping just down the street, and the Eiffel Tower park just a few blocks away, this an ideal location for families with kids or people who think of their dog as family, or people who just want to kick back in comfort while in Paris. This casual apartment is not stuffy – rather it’s very comfortable and will enable any visitor to Paris to live a nice, relaxed Parisian lifestyle during their stay. (Just read our many guests' comments to see how nice and different this place really is!)

This light-filled duplex comprises two large bedrooms and is located on the first and second floors (U.S. second and third floors) of a small, quiet, modern building with elevator, concierge and security system. The street-side of the apartment features sliding glass doors that open to planted terrace balconies on both levels. The outdoor terraces are large enough for seating and perfect for morning coffee in the sun or evening cocktails. There are no nosy neighbors as the glass doors and balconies face a church with stained glass windows.

The upstairs living and dining area is furnished with a mix of antique and contemporary furniture, paintings, photographs and prints. The spacious living room has two couches, one of which is a pullout bed, and the dining table seats eight comfortably. The first balcony eating area is just off the dining room and an outdoor grill and fresh herbs are just outside the kitchen.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything an enthusiastic cook needs including spices – there’s nothing nicer than picking up fresh meat, fish, cheese and vegetables from the Rue Cler market and cooking up a memorable meal in one’s own Paris home. Even if your idea of lunch is just re-heating something from a fancy deli in the microwave, it’ll be especially good coming from Rue Cler.

Included in the rental fee are French and English-language cable TV including CNN, CNBC and BBC World, along with unlimited WiFi and broadband Internet access, free local and international telephone calls plus exceptional access to U.S. Time-Warner cable TV shows through the in-house computer via a Slingbox. No American will need to miss their favorite sports game or TV shows while living here!

There are two full bedrooms downstairs. One is the master bedroom with a real king-size bed, dresser and plenty of built-in closet space. Both bedrooms have sliding glass doors onto the second balcony terrace. The second bedroom serves as a bedroom or office combination or kid’s room. It has a full double bed plus a small sofa bed. The double bed room has an armoire and a corner office space with a PC computer, broadband and WiFi Internet and printer for your use. The downstairs area has plenty of extra closet space, a marble bathroom with full bath and shower, and a separate toilet room, plus shelves full of books and guides to Paris.

Upon arrival our friendly Rental Assistant will check you in and show you how to work everything. She will also show you the highlights of very useful notes and guide to the neighborhood. The neighborhood is great, with lots of boutiques on rue Saint Dominique, all the food and cute cafés you could want on Rue Cler – a premiere market street – and great transportation links by bus, metro or RER right near-by, not to mention the flowers, grass and paths of the Champs de Mars Eiffel Tower park a few blocks away. There’s everything you need to live the best of both worlds - French and American - in Paris!

    Hi Suzan. We loved staying at the Rue clear apartment. The best thing was the immersion in French family neighborhoods. It was very convenient to transportation stops and neighborhood shopping. The apartment was clean and bright. It was a great experience.

  • My wife and I stayed her for 2 weeks. The apartment was fabulous. We were able to eat breakfast and about half of our lunch and dinners in the apartment which saved a ton of money. A typical day consisted of going sight-seeing etc. from ten until whenever, and the coming back to the apartment to relax until dinnertime. It was spacious, comfortable, and well stocked. My wife and I greatly appreciated the various guidebooks avaliable as they made many of our choices much easier, and we were able to get a "head-start" on many trips. I cannot go on without thanking Zohra, the cleaning lady. My wife is a total neatnik, and insiste don cleaning the kitchen, making the bed, etc. before Zohra came. She was beside herself when we came back after lunch. Zohra went way above and beyond, unloading the dishwasher that we had started that morning, folding laundry that had finished drying, and even finishing putting away the groceries my wife had purchased that morning. It really help us to relax knowing we didn't have to worry about messing the place up too much. Suzan was a wonderful help before, during, and after the trip. She was able to recommend everything from museum passes (get them if you go, they are worth just for the fact you don't have to stand in line), to travel insurence, to how an internation wire transfer works. Ask her, we pestered her with questions for about a month solid! She has a great insight into how to make the trip enjoyable and is a joy to work with. We hope to be able to come back to Paris sometime and would love to come back to Rue Cler/Pierre Villey. Thanks a million!

  • 4 teenagers and 2 adults spent the New Year at Pierre Villey.As expected, it was very cold outside but the apartment was beautifully warm and there was a copious supply of hot water all the time. The general location, the 7th A , of course, is the best! But the actual street was also fantastic as so quiet but only 50 yards from the bustling Rue Cler and shops. Loved the church bells and the stained glass windows. It was great to be able to walk to the Eiffel Tower with our champagne on New Year's Eve and also for the younger ones to be able to stay to closing time at Euro Disney and still get back to the apartment easily and safely before midnight. We found it convenient to drive from England via the ferry and the sat nav got us to the apartment without any problems so we could unload and then park the car at the underground car park at Invalides for the week.Parking was easy,secure, 15 mins walk away and about 28 Euros a night. Pagode cinema also just other side of Invalides and very comfortable seats. One warning: many galleries and museums closed for longer over the New Year week than listed in "Pariscope" and on internet. Rodin Museum decided to close early with just a notice on the door! Also a number of parks and gardens closed, rather too cautiously, because of "icy patches". Suzan, however, was very efficient, with lots of information about the flat and there to welcome us when we arrived early because of the speed of the journey from Calais. Love to come again.

  • We had a great time at Suzan's apartment. The neighborhood is wonderful - 5 fabulous bakeries in 5 minutes walking distance - plus all the shops, cafes, etc. We took my 82 year-old mother-in-law, along with another couple, and we didn't feel cramped in the apartment. It helped that the WC and shower were in separate rooms. It was helpful as far as my mother-in-law was concerned to have easy access to an elevator. Although she had to walk down stairs to the bedroom, the stairs were wide, safe, and had plenty of railings. Being right across the street from the #69 bus was also great. Thank you, Suzan, for having thought of everything. This was our first time renting an apartment - a little leap of faith, really, but we are so glad that we did. Every night when we walked down the Rue Cler, we felt like we had come home!

  • Just returned from a lovely Thanksgiving in Paris with my 2 children, their uncle and grandmother visiting my daughter who is studying abroad. This property was perfectly suited for my family. We were 5 in the house and had plenty of space, and the large dining room table, well-equipped kitchen, and proximity to the shops on Rue Cler allowed us to entertain my daughter's host mother and two of her fellow students in true Paris style! Loved the family atmosphere of the neighborhood --we truly felt as if we were living in Paris among the locals instead of being constantly surrounded by other tourists, and yet so close to the Champs de Mars that the Eiffel Tower became our beacon home! The home is bright and comfortable, the location is ideal, and the owner is extremely accommodating. I would (and do) recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to Paris!

  • Thanks to Suzan for working closely with us to make this happen (we had a glitch with Paypal and she was quite patient!). As for the apartment, the best aspect is its location. We went shopping on Rue Cler for marvelous fruits, vegetables, cheeses, jams for our Sunday dinner. Great! Oh, and the best bakery is just down Rue St. Dominique... St. Julien. You must go if you stay here. Overall, the apartment is clean, serviceable, well- stocked, spacious... best for people looking to kick back in a no-fuss situation (and who don't mind drying their clothes on a clothes rack... no dryer here). Probably not the first choice for people looking for romantic Paris with a view. But that can be found outdoors. Good for those on a budget.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    It's always good to hear that the apartment delivers exactly what is promised on our website and is so very appreciated by the kinds of people it's meant for i.e. parents like this couple traveling with their young children; older "kids" taking their parents on a trip; couples on their own who want lots of space, comfort and a great location; practical folks who recognize good value and want to enjoy living the experience of everyday life in Paris. It makes us happy to hear other people enjoy living there just like we do!

  • The neighborhood was great. We were walking distance to the bus, metro,and train lines. The open market was charming and the resturants were friendly and the food was fantastic. We walked to the Eiffel Tower safely at night to view the light show. Thanks for everything we had a great time.

    Many thanks to Jan Allen for choosing to bring her family to Rue Cler Pierre Villey and for the wonderful thank-you note she wrote: "Suzan, there are dozens of personal memories your home afforded us that a chain motel never could have! Just sitting on the balcony hearing the pealing of the church bells and watching the people, schoolchildren, and shopkeepers go about their workday was as enjoyable to me as the nearby tourist sites. We took time for the fun things such as pony rides, sailboats, and pedal cars, and ice cream stands for the children in the nearby parks just as much as we toured must-see museums on our tourists' list. The neighborhood was safe enough to walk to the Eiffel Tower at midnight to view the light show and to allow two teenagers out on their own to check out the trendy shops and have a special date to a French cafe. My children have definitely had their cultural interests piqued and my husband and I dream to return one day! I fully appreciate your professional manner throughout the entire rental process and the expedient refund of our security deposit. Your attention to details allowed us to begin enjoying our time together right away - from your notes about the metro to where we should eat and shop to the comforts of your home. If I were to add more comments they would be: 'THE place to stay in Paris--whether for a romantic getaway, a traveling family wishing to experience a slice of the Parisian lifestyle, or for a food-lover's fantasy among the famous Rue Cler markets, you will enjoy a spacious apartment and all the thoughtful touches of your hosts. Suzan has thought of everything one could need in her lovely home. And Emily, the rental assistant, is invaluable with her knowledge and sense of humor in putting you at ease and providing you with any additional assistance you may need during your stay.' Another point that was quite appealing about your rental and that was that you offer a minimum stay of 3 days (or more, if desired) versus a weekly minimum stay at other rentals. For those of us who have time and budget constraints your rental option is a winner! Thanks again, Jan Allen"

  • Location: Difficult to beat as so many key attractions are very close and the Rue Cler market is extremely handy and has quality food (including easy take home/out). Entertainment: The Sling Box which provides US TV via the internet worked very well, and although you are watching TV from another time zone (EST), it was very nice to have and allowed us to catch the finale of Dancing with the Stars. Apartment: The description and pictures were accurate; everything worked as expected. Of note: Although the church bells do not ring at night, they do ring every 15 minutes starting from 9:45am until about 9 pm. After a couple of days we got used to it and they do have a nice sound. Also in Paris, there is so much to keep you out exploring.

  • Super location and super stay. Thanks a million to Suzan and Walter for making us feel so welcome at the apartment at Rue Pierre Villey. We arrived late at night (2 adults and 3 kids) and they waited to let us in, made sure we knew where everything was and how it worked then left it to us. The apartment was fully stocked with everything we needed - we just needed to replace what we used. The location was superb, a short pleasant walk from the Champs de Mars, Eiffel Tower, Invalides and Pont Alexandre III. Rue Cler itself was very pleasant. The apartment is perfectly presented and very pleasantly decorated. We had a super time and would very definitely recommend the apartment to other visitors.
