i just returned from a week at this lovely apartment. the neighborhood is great, not overly commercial. just walk to the corner for your croissants or baquette. easy walk to the metro (and even the opera). pleasant walk to the pompidou. as everyone has stated, the owner, eric, is a pleasure to work with and was very flexible. the apartment is in a very secure building on a small side street behind place des vosges. the apartment is simply furnished but quite comfortable and cozy. even in the middle of january, during a cold, gray and rainy week, the apartment was a cozy place to come back to (what weather is better for going to museums and cafes?) the ceiling beams are great, lending so much character to the space. the kitchen has everything you will need. my cousin slept in the bedroom and i slept on one of the twin beds/sofas in the livingroom. both beds were very comfortable. if you sleep in the livingroom i think the only slight negative is you do hear the front doors when the other residents go in or out so it may wake you up in the morning but i would usually fall back asleep and maybe some people might not hear it (it was no problem in the back backroom according to my cousin). i would still give this apartment 5 stars. the restaurants recommended by eric were excellent - chez janou and le petit marche - both within a couple blocks - but make reservations. i can't wait to go back to paris and i recommend this apartment without hesitation. you will not be disappointed. merci beaucoup eric!

Experience Paris in this charming, comfortably furnished, historically located jewel of an apartment

Our family (parents and two adult daughters) chose this apartment for our Christmas holiday based on the photos, description and stellar reviews provided by previous guests. Absolutely all of the details mentioned were unquestionably accurate! The location is ideal both for accessibility to major sites as well as neighborhood charms (boulangerie, bistrots, cafes, shops). The photos under-represent the charming eclectic mix of furnishings and the kitchen is particularly well outfitted with modern appliances and stylishly chosen tableware. The comfort systems (heating and on-demand hot water) operated seamlessly. Best of all, however, is the helpfulness of the owner/host. As mentioned by other guests all processes, including communication prior to arrival, were conducted reliably and graciously. Eric provides recommendations and location information for restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, etc. and will even make restaurant reservations, when, as in our case, Christmas booking was challenging. He also offered to print tickets from an internet reservation. We would wholeheartedly recommend this property and hope to return soon ourselves. In fact, we now believe that choosing this apartment because of its location and amenities offered the single most significant contribution to making our stay in Paris so satisfying.

We stayed in this apartment for 4 nights in December and loved it. As mentioned, Eric lives in the building and is very warm, friendly, and accommodating. He was able to give excellent advice, was prompt with all the transactions, and even had a few basics stocked for us on arrival. The apartment itself is on a quiet street just a block from Place des Vosges and is warm and inviting with eclectic decor and plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a boulangerie literally 30 seconds away as well as cafes and markets within 2 minutes. The location is ideal for a stroll or walk to many attractions such as Notre Dame, Centre Pompidou, Bastille, Louvre. If you'd rather take the metro, key stops as few as 3 minutes away. I could not recommend the apartment highly enough if you want to get away from a typical hotel stay and into the heart of a trendy chic area with the locals. Eric is a wonderful host and I can't wait to visit and stay here again!

My husband and I and our two teenage daughters stayed very comfortably at this apartment. As nice as it looks in the photos, the apartment is actually incredible. The apartment has the charm of an entirely different era with its exposed beams and floor to ceiling windows, and has been furnished beautifully. The location is wonderful, around the corner from markets, shops, and a short distance from the Metro. We ate breakfast in the apartment, and the kitchen was lovely. Eric could not have been nicer, greeting us when we arrived and stocking the kitchen with such items as coffee, bottled water, and milk. As chilly as the weather was during our vacation, the apartment was always cozy. We all slept so comfortably that we missed some of our touring time! This apartment was as much part of our experience as Paris itself!

We couln't have been happier with the apartment. It was like being at home. There were so meny nice little touches. Like having a phone to use to call home at no charge or the washer in the bathroom. The decor was charming and the place was very clean. The location was close to two Metros and shopping within two blocks. We enjoyed having a new kitchen which was well equipted and had a dish washer. Our host Eric was so kind and went out of his way to help us with anything we needed. All in all I would always try to get this apartment when in Paris.

fabulous apartment off the place des vosges

we spent a fabulous week at this apartment with my husband and 2 small children. it was perfect for a small family as there was plenty of room - the girls sleptin the bedroom while my husband and i pushed the 2 twin sofas together at night and slept in the living room. the apartment was charming - better than the pictures. and the location is beyond perfect. a block from the place des vosges and within walking distance to many great restaurants and bakeries and shops. and eric is beyond helpful. he was there waiting for us upon our arrival and he was accessible and generous. the aparatmetn was stocked with staples - food and information. the only bad thing i can say is that being on the ground floor next to the door, it was a little noisy in the morning with the slamming of the doors. that being said, we would stay there again in a minute.

Excellent Choice for Paris Travel

This apartment was the first stop on our 2-week Europe travel. And it ended up to be an excellent decision because this apartment is great and Eric is a very responsible and helpful landlord to work with. Not only the apartment is neat and spacious enough for the four of us (two adults and two children), it is also very convenient to all the places. We didn't rent a car, so the location of the apartment is a great help. Thanks to the good choice we made in choosing this apartment we enjoyed our stay of Paris very much.

Short Family Stay in Paris

My family and I had the pleasure of renting Eric's apartment this summer for a short stay before heading to the south of France. The apartment was wonderfully appointed, warm and comfortable -- loved the beams in the ceiling and the courtyard view. We arrived earlier than expected and Eric was extremely gracious in accommodating our things until the apartment was ready for us. The beds were very comfortable and we were especially grateful for the washer/dryer when the airline misplaced our bags for a couple of days. The apartment was swell situated with good shopping and charming small restaurants nearby. We love walking and, while the apartment was a bit further from the Louvre than the thought it would be, the walk was lovely -- and the metro was close for those who would rather take public transportation. The primary reason we'd reserved this apartment is that Eric himself had been cited so often for his helpfulness in other reviews. We'd never rented an apartment in a large city before, so this was very important in our decision. He was, indeed, very solicitous and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel very at home in Paris.

The BEST of everything in Paris

Prior reviewers hit the high spots. This is my 6th trip to Paris, with my son (his 5th trip) and my granddaughter (her 1st). All agree that we could not have had a more beautiful and convenient place to stay. Location, space just right for 3, amenities and the most amiable and gracious host. Many ethnic restaurants nearby that had the vegetarian meals my son wanted. Try Le Petit Dakar, a Senegalise restaurant on Rue Elzevir, near Musee Cognac Jay (also not to be missed). This apartment will be our first choice for every return to Paris.
