We stayed here in October 2011, my wife and our two sons, one 10 the other 1 1/2. We loved it! Great location right across the road from a bakery and around the corner a grocery store. Also a very safe area which we felt safe walking around at night. Metro is just down the road to get to all the locations. The apartment had everything you need and was cozy. Lots of great memories and we'd love to come back someday!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is as pictured and was very clean and perfectly appointed. The beds (including the pullouts) were comfortable. The owner was extremely helpful and responsive in the days leading up to our stay. There are many nice restaurants within walking distance but the best part is that you are directly across the street from a pâtisserie (bakery). The apartment building itself is quiet and there was no noise from the street with the windows closed. The only thing the apartment didn't have was a hair dryer. For those with long hair, it is a little chilly to be walking around in France during November with wet hair, so make sure to pack your own!

My girlfriend and I had a lovely three nights in the flat. It's perfect for two, and certainly larger than most of the hotel rooms out there, and for half the money! Private, quite, safe and CLEAN:) I love old buildings, but I'm not interested in dealing with old furnishings or fixtures past thier prime. This apartment met all our needs being completely up to date, and a great starting and end point to each days adventure!

it was our 1st time renting an apartment on our holidays, i have absolutely no regrets. it was much, much, way better than staying in a hotel. it was very near la defense, very convenient, it you are taking the air france shuttle to/from the airport, the metro is nearby. there are groceries and bakeries shops just downstairs, the open market is wonderful. we did some cooking in the apartment, we saved a whole lot than eating out everyday. there is also a washing machine in the apartment, it was perfect for us. this was the best accomodation we ever had had in paris. will definitely stay here again! tks antoine!!!

What a great appartment! My sister and I and my two daughters (6 and 10 years old) stayed here for three nights. It is nice en clean and everything was there. We forgot to bring tea, but there was even a pack of tea in the kitchen. Also towels and some toiletpaper were available. There is a seperate bedroom and two sleeping couches in the livingroom. The seperate bedroom has no door. This might be not so ideal if you stay with small kids. However, it didn't bother us and our kids. When you get there, you can get the key out of a key locker that is on the door. So no anoying manager or anyone like that is waiting for you, but you can just check everything out yourselves. We really liked that. The metro is around the corner. You are in the centre of Paris in no time. Also before everything was perfectly arranged. Antoine replies to your e-mails imediately and the information he gave was very complete. We will certainly come back here.

We spent two weeks in this apartment and it was perfect: away from the tourist hordes but close enough to be convenient. The surrounding restaurants are great (we loved Le Chalet, where you can get an amazing Raclette and fondue); the local shops are awesome (especially the wine shop, the butcher and the bread shop); and the fresh food markets are amazing (on every Wed, Fri, Sun). It's a very pretty (and quite posh) part of the city, and looks what I imagined a Paris neighbourhood should look like! The apartment was neat and clean, and didn't feel cramped at all (if you have 4 people though, be aware there is no door to the bedroom, so it's not private). We cooked every day in the kitchen, which was pretty well-equipped. I was surprised there was no DVD player but at least we had free wireless. Antoine was great to deal with - very helpful and prompt. I would definitely recommend this for a couple, and perhaps for a family if it's for a few days.

Owner response:Thanks Belinda. The reason why there is no DVD player is that unless you buy the DVD from France, you would not be able to watch it, as the DVD Zone in Europe is different than the US, Asia, Australia etc and players sold in France will not read DVD purchased in the other zones. What other guests have been doing it connecting their laptop DVD to the TV to watch their own DVDs. And you are in Paris, few people stay in to watch DVDs while in Paris! ;-) Thanks for staying with me, and I hope I will see you again soon. Antoine

This apartment was awesome. Very clean and neat and the location is perfect. Minutes from the Metro and directly across the road is a pastry shop for fresh pastry with your morning coffee. My husband has meetings in Paris every September and I accompany him...so this will be the spot for me from now on. However, if you had the third person (which we did) it would have been nice to have had a curtain or something up to the bedroom opening for a little more privacy while dressing and undressing.

Memorable stay in Paris

No bad surprises; as advertised, the apartment is genuinely very functional, nice and neat, as good as new, and has all the amenities to just come in and crash comfortably. We loved it a first sight. We're a family of 2 adults, 2 boys (12 & 9) and a 3-year old baby girl and arrived around at 9PM to find ourselves right at home. We spent 10 nights and accommodation was perfect (even with all our luggage), and we even were able to fit our baby crib between the 2 sofa beds. Location is very nice and very safe as well, and the neighborhood is so quiet that we sometimes over-slepped :-) The children enjoyed walking every morning to the near-by bakery and supermarket to get fresh milk, 'baguettes', 'croissants' for breakfast, and even thyme Lebanese manakish from the nearby open-air market ! The little time we spent (awake) in the apartment, everybody found an occupation: cooking, eating, watching TV, surfing the net, or just overlooking the street through the big windows. We did not hesitate to use the washing machine, as well as the kitchen to prepare kids meals like rice & meat and pasta & sauce, and the air ventilator came in handy in case it got a bit hot at night. Neuilly is very classy and I recommend walking to the notorious Bois de Boulogne to visit the "Jardin d'Acclimatation" and then go canoeing in its lake; the children loved it. We rented also a Vélib from right across the street of the apartment and visited Paris by bike. Buses, taxis and metro stations are within walking distance (Les Sablons & Porte Maillot to go to distant sights like Versailles, DisneyLand, ParcAsterix, etc), but we often took the very convenient Bus #73 (the stop is right across Place du Marché) that goes straight to Place de l'Etoile, through Champs-Elysées all the way to Place de la Concorde, to stay "overground" and enjoy the city as much as possible (and it's more practical with a baby stroller). Thanks Antoine for this lovely opportunity to live a very charming Parisian experience that will surely be recommended and renewed if possible. It was the first time we do not check-in a hotel with the kids on vacation and I was a bit concerned, but everything went like a breeze... and sorry for not contacting you during our stay because we did not need to ;-)

This apartment is just as advertised and more! Nothing beats the divine smells from the bakery across the street; the friendliness of the local restaurant owners; the convenience of the corner store and the close proximity to the Metro and all of the delights of Paris! Antoine is more than helpful and professional--he is awesome! He even gave us some local restaurant recommendations-and they didn't disappoint at all. Please go to Le Chalet when you stay here--the owner is wonderful and the food is heavenly. We will be staying here again! Thanks, Antoine!
