Location: Paris Arrondissement 2, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (Within walking distance from all major Parisian attractions)

Accommodations:  Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)

Live as a local, with all international comforts, in a newly renovated architect designed apartment (Caroline Hentschel DPLG),smack bang in the centre of Paris, near new and trendy rue Montorgueil (For those of you who have read "Almost French"-by Australian author Sarah Turnbull- we've been unintentionally living the live version as a Franco-Australian couple in the same area of Paris).

Our apartment is easy to find being conveniently located within 1-3 minutes walking distance of 3 metro stations, including direct connection to Gare du Nord (Eurostar terminal) and also close to Chatelet/ Les Halles (direct connection to CDG airport) and a taxi rank is near by. There is even a bike and rickshaw place which has just opened up downstairs.

Once you arrive, you won't need to worry about transport because you can easily walk to the Louvres museum, the Georges Pompidou Center, the Marais area, Palais Royal and loads of Paris shopping bars and restaurants.

At the end of the day, it's easy to relax in our modern minimalistic light apartment, but still typically parisian, with it's 18th century beams, which gives our (your) home a very cozy feeling. You've got all modern conveniences, internet (Apple G4) / free international phone to contact home, and TV and DVD etc (all listed below).

A feature is our garden balcony (with optional sail) where it is lovely to sit out and overlook all the roof tops of Paris with a nice glass of wine or with your "café et croissants" in the morning (we're on the 5th floor - no lift - easy daily workout, save money on gym pass!).

Upon arrival, Julien, Noella, Jerome or Vincent (who speak English!) will welcome you after your journey and be happy to answer any questions you may have. (They will then also be available for you during your entire visit, should you have any further questions).

73 has been a perfect home for us (Australian classical singer/ music theater director and French journalist/ doco maker) and all our international friends and family...we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we have!

    • Dear Liz and Albert, thank you so much for the use of your lovely apartment in the heart of Paris. The internet access was a luxury to be able to keep in contact with family and check up on Paris sightseeing information. Your advice on local restaurants and places to see was very helpful and having Rue Montorgueil right on your door step was wonderful for shopping for groceries or stopping at one of the many cafes or restaurants.

      Homeowner Response:
      Dear Deborah and Alexa, Great to know... that our favourite restaurants are still fabulous. Thanks for your comment! Best Wishes, Liz et Albert

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this delightful and cozy apartment. The location was convenient to museums, restaurants, and transportation. After a full day of sight-seeing, we appreciated the quiet and peaceful apartment that had all the amenities for a comfortable and memorable stay. Merci, Liz et Albert!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank you Sarah and Gabriel. We are happy you enjoyed the apartment and your stay. It is surprisingly quite for such a central area. I guess it is because it is high up. Best Wishes and thank you for your lovely comment, Liz et Albert

    • We enjoyed our month in Paris ever so much. It was all we hoped it would be. The apartment was perfect in every way. Even in October we enjoyed sunny breakfasts on the lush terrace. The apartment has everything one could imagine needing for a month stay in Paris. We really did look forward to coming "home" after a busy day of walking every where. It is perfectly situated to enjoy all that Paris has to offer and EAT! Thank you Liz and Albert for being so attentive and for giving us the peace of mind that you were only a phone call or email away. Hope to see you in Costa Rica. Con carino, Sissy and Peter Burke

      Homeowner Response:
      Dear Sissy and Peter, We want to thank you both, for loving our home so much! It was such a pleasure for us to have you both stay; and we are delighted that our home really became your home too...Thank you for loving our garden too! Would love to see you in Costa Rica someday! Nous vous embrassons tres tres fort, Liz et Albert

    • Merci beaucoup for a wonderful stay in Paris! Liz and Albert have a welcoming and comfortable flat w/ all the ammenities of home. The location is central, yet off the "touristy" path so you truly feel like a Parisien. We loved the local tips that you provided Liz, and enjoyed many special places/restaurants on your recommendations. The walk up the stairs isn't easy but manageable, and helped to work off all those delicious baguettes & wine we enjoyed! We hope to one day be back- thanks again!

      Homeowner Response:
      "De rien!" Albert and I are delighted you loved the area and our favourite local restaurants. You are most welcome to come back anytime! Many thanks for your comment, Liz et Albert

    • You really are in the heart of Paris at Liz and Albert's place and they and Fred are wonderful hosts. Not only did they make booking and arriving easy but they also gave excellent advice for services in the area. Our two children (10 and 13) felt it was "our" home within minutes of arrival. You can easily pretend you're a local here - it's great to eat and shop on nearby rue M. I couldn't recommend this 'home away from home' highly enough to all, except those with difficulty climbing stairs. The apartment itself is quiet and clean. The air con unit perfect on warm nights and the facilities just perfect. Mind - the laundry machine takes hours, so plan to do one load per evening! Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! Thanks again, Liz and Albert. You are lovely hosts.

      Homeowner Response:
      Dear Joanne and the girls, we are so happy you all found a 'home away from home'. This is the biggest compliment that anyone could give us. Thank you. We hope you'll all be visiting us again before long. You were wonderful guests! Warmest Regards, Liz et Albert. (PS If you set the washer to "2" it gives a "quicker 45min cycle"..sorry, we didn't realise this earlier to tell you!)

    • Belated thanks for a great three day stay in Paris! The apartment was perfect and in such a great location for all we did. We really enjoyed strolling down Rue Montorgueil and bringing back pastries each morning. Easy to walk or metro to all the sights - thanks so much Liz and Albert for sharing!

      Homeowner Response:
      You are all most welcome. Thank you. (although I am now craving a real French "pain au chocolat" from the patisserie!!)

    • Gemma and I had a wonderful week at Liz and Albert's apartment. Making the arrangements was very convenient and they were flexible with our arrival and departure schedule. Julien was very helpful when we arrived and made sure we were comfortably settled. It is a beautiful, clean apartment in a great neighborhood.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Tom and Gemma, Albert and I are very happy you liked the apartment and thank you for sharing your comment with other potential visitors. Maybe we'll bump into each other in New York one day! Best Regards, Liz et Albert

    • How wonderful! Our family of 4 had a fantastic stay in Liz & Albert's apartment. All the arrangements worked out perfectly. The boys (10 & 7) loved the Leggo, Thanks. The apartment was in a great position, and we really enjoyed the balcony with wine & cheese and baguettes. Totally recommend staying here. But don't have heavy luggage to carry up the stairs!

      Homeowner Response:
      Hey Sharyn I hope you didn't carry your own luggage up the stairs! That's what our friends are there for! Very happy the boys enjoyed the Leggo though, and you the balcony with a nice wine and baguette. And, thank you for sharing with others. I'm so happy to share our Paris home with a fellow Queenslander! Best Regards, Liz et Albert

    • I stayed at Liz and Albert's cozy apartment over the Christmas holiday. It was perfect! I loved feeling a part of eveyday life in Paris with its proximity to the local merchants, yet it was also very close to major points of interest. The apartment itself was quiet and well stocked with everything from local guidebooks to kitchen necessities...the little balcony was a wonderful place to sit in the sun and enjoy a glass of wine, even in the winter! Thank you Liz and Albert for a memorable stay!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank you very much Julie. Albert and I are very happy you loved our home as much as we do (when we are there..)and we agree, it is a great area.
