Lovely & Quiet Flat in the Historic Center of Paris (Marais)

The apartment is loved by all. It is a very calm and quiet place, in the middle of Paris rush and very animated area of Le Marais. It faces away from the street and is very sunny, at the top floor (with elevator) of an 18th Century beautiful building.

The area is very secure and there are things to see at every corner. This is the historic center of Paris, and the most central location in the city. From there, you have access to everything very easily.

The apartment is beautifully equipped and very comfortable. Redone recently, amongst the roofs of Paris, it has a unique charm, and it is the ideal place to feel truly Parisian. Although it can accommodate in reality up to 5 people (1 queen size bed, 1 convertible, and 1 non convertible sofa large enough to host an adult), it is best for 2. It is a 50 sq meters flat.

We have had guests from the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Germany and so far our "Livre d'Or" is full of praises (Paris and vacation may have helped!)

Our rates are degressive, all inclusive and very clearly described in our website, hence no trouble or trust issues with our clients. We try to be accomodating regarding arrival times because of air flights and arrange for someone to meet you in the flat upon arrival and departure.

There is a small selection of DVDs in the flat, including a childrens choice, but we recommend you to bring some of yours. The Internet connection is fast and steady, with wifi. A stereo in the living room offers a possibility to connect your Ipod / Mp3.

There is no air conditioning but the atmosphere is cooled by the many windows facing every directions, and we have fans. Although Paris summer can be hot, it is dry and very nice.

There are books on the shelves in English and French, and a French / English bookstore 2 minutes away in the street (owned by a passionate reader, who is of great advice). More generally, you will find every kind of stores (boulangerie, foodstore, cheese, wine... at the street corner. There are also many nice restaurants (or fancy ones!). The area is just exquisite.

Our calendar is always up to date, and we respond to mails quickly. We rent abroad frequently and know exactly what you need!

We usually ask for a 200 Euros down payment by Paypal (or more for long stays), although some tenants are Internet-reluctant and have preferred to organize bank wires, or to send cheques. We are very flexible. We ask also for a safety deposit upon check in which is refunded upon check out (200 Euros or 200 dollars, any currecny would be fine). Since 2008, we never had to withdraw a peeny from any of these deposits.

I do not know if this luck or if people are nicer in real life than on TV, but we never had any problem. Some of our tenants were so happy and homely that they even replaced the coffee machine they had broken by a much better one (you do NOT have to do that, these incidents happen, and are included in our rates).

After almost 4 years, we really feel that renting this place is rewarding in more ways than just money. We wanted to share the flat we loved and lived in, and are just very happy that people enjoy it. Most of the pics you will see here (the ones with current set of furnitures) have been taken by a tenant who sent them to us saying he thought our flat deserved better pics than our own!

We grant a 10% discount to tenants when they come back to the place.
