Fantastic Experience!

From the moment we heard the scurrying footsteps of the friendly owner coming down the stairs to greet us upon our arrival, we fell in love with the apartment! It has everything we needed to make us feel right at home in Paris. The owners were always available to provide anything we needed and gave us an extensive overview of the apartment, not to mention the Nespresso coffee machine that was put to use to fuel our Parisian mornings. The best feature of the apartment is the view out the windows: Saint Sulpice Church in all its Baroque beauty. Our window sill was the perfect perching place to chill our evening bottle of Champagne (might as well indulge in all the bubbly brands we can’t get at home). Our trips to the local food markets no longer were just for looking-- we could now purchase the beautiful meats, cheeses, and produce because the apartment features a great kitchen we found to be perfect for preparing most of the handful of wrinkled recipes we brought. We originally thought the absence of an oven would limit our cooking endeavors but it did not. The induction cooktop along with the good quality pots and pans worked great. Our experience at the apartment was one of the best we have ever had in Paris. The services and features described in the VRBO write up is 100% accurate. The hospitality and service offered by the owners made us wonder why we ever stayed in hotels before. All of the great benefits and conveniences of this apartment had a Trevi fountain-like effect on us. We will definitely be booking this apartment again! Michael & David December 2011

We stayed one week at this location, during the second week of July, to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We could have not asked for a better and more romantic place for our stay in Paris. GREAT location, very central. We didn't have a car: we just walked or use the transit system. Buses, trams, banks, ATM, cafés, restos and market are next door or less than 5 minutes walking distance. We could not believe how central was this apartment. Everything was as described in the ad, from the pictures to the list of amenities. Spacious apartment and great view, well lit, clean and very well maintained. Having a phone number where people could call us in case of emergency was a welcomed addition. The owners were so helpful, before our arrival and during our stay. Lovely people always ready to assist you. We are recommending this property to family and friends and we would return there without hesitation.

My daughter and I spent eight nights at this wonderful apartment, and we had a terrific stay. The location is ideal, being just a block and a half to the metro stop, and within easy walking distance of most of Paris' must-see attractions. Just around the corner is an area with many good restaurants and bars, and the shopping is excellent as well (as my daughter can attest to). A very good bakery is a block away, and a supermarket is about three blocks away. Claude is a gold-mine of information, and also can supply you with tickets to the major museums so that you don't have to stand in a huge line to purchase tickets. His tour of the local neighborhood is quite useful as well. The apartment was well-stocked with supplies, and was spotlessly clean. One thing that surprised me was how quiet it was with the wondows closed - hardly any street noise can be heard. This apartment has it all; terrific location, the view from the windows is hard to top, it's comfortable and charming, and the owner Claude is right downstairs to provide help or information if needed. I recommend this apartment without hesitation!

Another rave review

This apartment has gotten many rave reviews and rightfully so. I am adding mine only to keep the reviews up to date. We were in the apartment in late February -- early March, 2011. Our stay was wonderful. The excellent location, the lovely apartment, and the very kind, friendly, and informative owners added greatly to our enjoyment. The welcoming bowl of fruit, the thoughtfulness of having on hand toilet tissue and soaps and other essentials, not to mention the wonderful new coffee espresso machine, the extreme cleanliness and the well-thought out arrangement of the apartment -- all made our stay extremely pleasant. The one flight of stairs to climb is not a problem and the view from the windows is unsurpassed. Busses and Metro connections are very convenient and local boulangeries, boucheries, epiceries supply everything needed for a happy stay. Paris has many wonderful areas and each has its own particular charm, but the area around this apartment is very special indeed. To be essentially just across the river from the Louvre, and within a few blocks of the Luxemburg Gardens, is indeed a very delightful area for a tourist. Thank you, Claude and Lucile!

........not here! This is a wonderful apartment on the 5th floor (lift to 4th) overlooking the square of the church of San Sulpice. We stayed there last week. The owners live on the 4th floor and are absolutely delightful. When the owner explained where everything was he said that if there was anything else we needed we were to ask him; I can assure you that there was nothing. In spite of the exceptional rain and cold we braved the Armistice Parade down the Champs Elysees but thanks to this cosy apartment, we had a lovely time in Paris,

The apartment was great, the location was excellent, and the owners were very friendly and helpful, and gave us a lot of good advice about the neighborhood, and helped us get tickets for museums. Next time we are in Paris we'll try to rent the same place.

Sept.27-Oct.4, 2010 we were in this wonderful apartment. It had every amenity and a lift to it's 5th floor location. It looks over the square of St. Sulpice with it's beautiful fountain. We were wowed. The owner lives directly below and is delightful. The wifi worked great and the free phone calls to the states were greatly appreciated. It is in a very safe part of Paris with everthing you need nearby. We highly recommend staying in this apartment.

My family and I spent six days following the last few stages of the Tour De France, and after watching the final stage, we remained in Paris for another five days. We spent the second part of our vacation in Claude and Lucile's apartment and it was wonderful. The apartment itself was perfect for us, excellent location and everything we could ever need and more was provided for us, down to umbrellas (not that we needed them) and all comforts of home. It was so helpful to have a washing machine in the apartment too. We arrived late our first night and Claude had waited for us outside, and took us up to the apartment, giving us a quick tour of it. The following morning he met us at our convenience and gave us a tour of the neighbourhood, highlighting where to eat, places for best ice cream, groceries, and the best baguettes. We were also welcomed with a lovely fruit basket and yummy nespresso coffee. During our stay Lucile and Claude were very helpful in planning our day trips, even getting tickets for us for the museums. They made themselves readily available for any advice we needed, and it was incredibly helpful to have a local's view on where to go, when, and how to get there. I think what really impressed me most, however, was all the communication leading up to our stay. Claude would reply to all emails almost instantly, and really helped to plan our vacation. He gave us very helpful advice regarding our travel, suggesting we take the train from Bordeaux to Paris, rather than our rental car as we had initially planned. And Claude and Lucile even went as far as purchasing our train tickets online and mailing them to us to Canada. I cannot say enough about Claude and Lucile, I have no doubt our stay in Paris would not have been half as wonderful had it not been for them. Their english is impeccable as well, and all there were also multiple english guidebooks in the apartment. The main reason I chose their apartment was all the great reviews others had left, and the experience was even better than I expected. Thank you for everything Claude and Lucile, I hope we meet again.
