Small gem in the heart of Paris

This is just a wonderful small apartment, quite in the right place. Owners are warm and very helpful, open for questions and ready to help with suggestions for shopping, eating and sightseeing. Made our stay really pleasant and remarkable. Their small dog is super-friendly. The Counterescarp is right around the corner, yet the place is quiet most of the time. The apartment itself, while small, is very convenient. The floor plan makes use of space optimal, so you have everything you need. Bathroom is surprisingly large (by European standards) and superbly equipped. The water pressure is very adequate too, so no problem taking shower. The kitchen is small, yet sufficient for breakfast and supper preparations if you are so inclined. A lot of sights is in short walking distance, and two different metro lines make getting elsewhere just as easy. If you choose to stay there, don't miss the bakery on the Counterescarp square for breakfast pastries and/or bread. The best mini-market is on Rue Monge next to Cardinal Lemoine Metro stop. Rue Mouftard provides ample selection of great eating and drinking places. Great place, would stay there again any time! Thanks Sandy and Philippe for a wonderful experience in Paris. You made our short vacation truly remarkable!

My colleague and I flew into London for a business meeting, and with an extra 24 hours to spare we decided to travel to my favorite city. After a referral to Sandy and Philippe, we learned of their quaint apartment in the 5 Arrondissement. We took the Eurostar from London to Gare Du Nord in 2.5 hours. Took a cab to the apartment arriving in time to see the holiday lights strung across the alleys and streets light up. Perfectly located and near great restaurants, bars and amazingly beautiful architecture, we were greeted warmly by our hosts and their adorable terrier Mulan. After a bit of refreshments, we two tired travelers rallied and took off to explore the area. The apartment is well appointed with wireless internet, longdistance phone service, bath products, stocked kitchen, and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Great for a couple or a small family (no wild children though) or two work colleagues - one or two rooms available for sleeping. Clean, warm, cheery and comfortable. Can't wait to bring family members back in the future. Thank you Sandy and Philippe! Until next time, Jen and Ken

PERFECT Stay in Paris

My husband and I were set to arrive in Paris and hadn't yet found a place to stay. We came across this little gem the night before our departure and emailed hoping it would work out. Sandy gave us a call first thing the next morning and made sure we had directions and all the details we would need before our flight took off later in the day. Upon arrival we found their little place right away. It is tucked on a quiet street right around the corder from Rue La Mouffetard, the oldest street in Paris that is an all day market brimming with the best cheeses, breads, pastries, produce and restaurants you could ever dream of. Ernest Hemmingway's residence was also just around the corner, there is amazing historical significance of the area, you are only a t8 minute walk from Notre Dame, 5 min from the metro, you could not ask to be in a better location. the little apartment is very parisian, stocked with everything you could possibly need, lots of extra blankets, snacks, juice, coffee, tea, wine, everything. It has plenty of room, the bathroom is newly renovated and very comfortable . Much larger than most european washrooms. Sandy and Phillipe are two of the friendliest people you will meet in Paris. If we are able to arrange to go back before leaving Europe we will. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic getaway or any excuse to get to Paris. This little place is definitely where we will be staying in the future.

From the first moment of arriving at the apartment, we were met by our welcoming, charming hosts, who showed us every detail of the efficient apartment. It has been designed and decorated with every comfort in mind--the photos don't do it justice! Everything from delightful soaps and lotions to candy-stocked jars, to extra linens, to guidebooks, umbrellas and market baskets, to coffee, juice, cookies and a bottle of wine! Everything sparkling clean. We appreciated the computer and telephone with free calls to the U.S. The location is wonderful: Rue Mouffetard at your doorstep with all its cafes and little food shops. So easy to get our morning fix of chocolate croissant and fresh apple! Walking distance to the Pantheon and Jardin du Luxembourg (we walked to Notre Dame as well), and close to the Metro. Since this was my husband's first trip to Paris, we did all the highlights, and appreciated coming "home" after a long day of sightseeing! Our hosts had a list of recommendations for cafes and restaurants, and let us know that they were only five minutes away if we needed anything. We would definitely stay at the apartment again and will also highly recommend it to friends and family. It is a treasure.

We just returned home from a wonderful vacation in Paris. "MylittlehomeinParis" had been recommended to me by a friend, so upon researching, we decided to book it. Sandy and Phillipe's excellent customer service began immediately, a good 10 months prior to our trip. They provided us with all kinds of great information regarding transportation, sightseeing, prices, the weather, supplies, wifi, etc, and then continued to answer our specific questions about gluten-free diets, aging parents, the train from Brussels, and a phone number for an English-speaking taxi service. By the time we finally arrived I was greeted with a friendly French hug and I knew that Sandy would make sure we were comfortable. Upon orienting us, it was clear that a lot of thought had been given to all the comforts that would be needed. Sandy and Philippe went above and beyond to provide guests wih an apartment that offered plenty of hot water, good and safe lighting, a comfortable bed, plenty of blankets, pillows and towels, internet access and free long distance calling overseas, appliances in the kitchen, and quiet and privacy, all within walking distance to 2 metros, several restaurants and shops, a farmer’s market, 2 ATM’s, grocery stores, bakery, and pharmacy. There were band aids available for blisters on feet and a bathtub to soak them in. There were umbrellas for brief showers, guide books and information , bookmarked websites to museums, etc., and scotch tape for engagement rings that hadn’t been sized yet! The location is excellent, in the middle of the Latin Quarter. I would highly recommend “mylittlehomeinParis” as a great place to stay. Someone wanting to see Paris, remain rested, keep expenses down, and know that you have a contact should there be a problem of any kind, will not be disappointed. We hope to return some day!

My husband and I spent two weeks here in September. I can only echo all of the praise already heaped upon the apartment, and upon Sandy and Philippe. My Little Home is small but a perfect jewel; the space is used intelligently and efficiently. And the furnishings -- Sandy has a special touch when it comes to decorating, and this little gem is as cozy and warm and welcoming as it can be. It took us just one day to settle in and feel completely at home. We have stayed in larger (and more expensive) apartments in Paris, and not one of them was as bright and comfortable as this one. (The sofa bed is comfortable as a bed AND as a sofa. Really.) The neighborhood is just terrific; a mix of students, locals, and tourists. A short walk to the Seine, Luxembourg Gardens, the Grande Mosquee, the Jardin des Plantes; two steps from La Place de la Contrescarpe (a people-watcher's paradise) and Rue Mouffetard, where you will find many cheese shops, wine shops, take-out food places, gelato, crepes, chocolates, shoes, souvenirs, and of course the open-air market. Metro and bus stations are also nearby. Finally, Sandy and Philippe could not be more helpful or more charming. Sandy was there to meet us with her welcoming gifts of wine, juice, flowers, and decadent pastries; Philippe arrived later, and they explained how everything worked in perfect detail. They gave us many excellent recommendations for restaurants, etc., and were available to answer questions at any time. By the end of our stay, we felt we had made two friends for life. I could go on and on, but others have said it here before -- read all of the glowing comments, and believe every one of them! My only hesitation in recommending this apartment is that it may not be available for us the next time we are lucky enough to go to Paris. In the meantime, we will always think of it as OUR Little Home in Paris.

I had a last minute trip to Paris for only two nights and nearly every listing required at least three. Sandy and Philippe took my reservation without a qualm and were impeccable hosts! The apartment is tiny by U.S. standards but has everything you could possibly want including a very nicely appointed bathroom, a comfortable bed and a kitchen where I could make coffee with one of the three coffeepots! They even left me a bottle of wine and some OJ. So much nicer than staying in a hotel. I was half a block off Rue Moufftard - a perfect location. I hope to visit here again.

This was the perfect home away from home for our three days in Paris! Sandy and Philippe were very quick to respond and informative about details before our arrival. They gave us a wonderful orientation to the apartment and the surrounding neighborhood, as well as transportation, restaurants, and anything else we wanted to know. The apartment was clean, cozy, well-stocked and felt like home. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The amenities such as the nice towels and lotions were a welcome surprise. We had a wonderful dinner "in" one night. The internet access and phone turned out to be quite useful and we were quite appreciative for this. Sandy and Philippe were awesome and I would stay here again the next time I visit Paris.

Little--but Great Home
Guest: Scott B.

Review Submitted: 07/05/11
This little home is ideal for people who want to experience one of the really wonderful areas in Paris. Rue Rolin is a quiet, mostly pedestrian street. There is a school across the street from the apartment building but the flat is across a courtyard so there is very little noise. In spite of the solitude, the energy of Place de la Contrescarpe and Rue Mouffetard are two minutes walk. The flat is small but beautifully appointed. Sandy and Philippe think of many extras such as full linens (including washcloths), some food staples and a partially stocked fridge. Facial tissue, including some "to go" packets in case you get the sniffles. The bathroom is recently updated and is beautiful. It is possible to cook some in the small kitchen but there are also many good restaurants nearby,
