Our family of 4 stayed in the apartment in November 2011. The kids shared the pull out couch in the living room. It had heat, adaptors, useful information, and was a way better deal than we could have gotten at a hotel. You can't actually see Eiffel Tower from the apartment (the view is of the Sienne) but its only a few blocks away. This was our first internet apartment rental experience and it was good. We used Isabell's recommendation and hired local guide Sabine and she was great too. I did find the bed a bit lumpy, but we were tired every day and slept well anyway.

Apartment with a View

We rented this apartment through VRBO. I was a little nervous as I had never rented anything outside of the US. It was a fantastic experience and we will never stay in a hotel in paris again. The apartment was all that it was advertised to be and more. The location was great - right on the river with a great view and only a short distance from a metro stop. The apartment was clean and quiet. I recommended this apartment and VRBO to many of the new friends that I made on a tour that we took after we left Paris.

We stayed at the Marie Antoinette from 8/3-8/8/2011 and we found the apartment clean and cozy. Not the least crowded even with our family of 4. The bed was so comfortable and the sofa bed not only amazingly comfortable but opens in one piece without having to take out the cushions nightly. There is view of the Siene and the Effiel Tower, what more could we ask for? The apartment is 5 minutes walk to the Metro and train stations. The local street market is even better than Rue Cler in our opinion. We really enjoyed our stay and to find a comfortable and clean place to rest after a long day of touring was all we needed. On our departure, we realized we left our son's blanket which he used since infancy. We contacted Isabelle via e-mail which she responded quickly and sent it back to our home. Merci Beaucoup for everything, Isabelle.

We stayed in the Marie Antoinette for two weeks - May 1 to 15, 2010. It worked well for us. It had plenty of room and allowed us to buy some of the wonderful produce and fish at the nearby market so we could eat in a few times during our stay. The building is very secure and is convenient to the metro. We enjoyed the view of the river while sitting in the living room. We would stay at Isabellle's apartments again. She was very pleasant to work with.

We stayed at the Marie-Antoinette for 18 days through Christmas and the New Year. It was wonderful! The location is fantastic, safe, and there was a great view of the Seine. The apartment had everything we needed, was less expensive than a hotel room and a lot bigger. Isabelle was very helpful when we encountered problems with lost luggage.She is friendly and easy to work with. I would stay here again without reservation. I am in love with Paris!

We spent four days in the Marie Antoinette and had a wonderful location and home-base from which to explore Paris. Isabelle was wonderful, easy to work with and made the entire experience a dream.

I spent 11 nights in this wonderful Paris apartment. I've stayed in many apartments in Paris over the years and Isabelle makes it easy and uncomplicated. The location is great and a pleasure to be in when not out exploring Paris. I will use Isabelle's service again!

I Fell in love with Isabelle's apt in the Eiffel district as soon as I saw it on the Internet. I knew exactly that was where I wanted to stay. It was within walking distance of most things & if not, you were only 2 short blocks away from the Metro. The apt. was very spacious & clean. Isabelle was very flexible in my arrival & dept times unlike most hotels. Also, She is very helpful in giving directions and advice. I really enjoyed myself & am looking forward to returning to Paris & renting from Isabelle again.

We stayed in Isabelle's Marie Antoinette apartment, five minutes from the Eiffel Tower. It's a great space - lots of room for two and very comfortable and clean. The location is excellent with both an RER and a Metro station only minutes away. Plus, it's easy walking distance to lots of great restaurants, including the Rue Cler area. And, it's fantastic to have the Eiffel Tower as your home-away-from-home landmark! Isabelle is very professional and easy to contact - I will definitely rent an apartment from her again.

My husband and I stayed in Isabelle's Marie Antoinette apartment for 11 nights in April 2009. It was the first time we booked like this over the internet and everything went very smoothly. You always have concerns but Isabelle made everything very easy and the apartment was exactly as advertisized. This apartment looks out over the Seine, and if you lean out the window just a little, you really can see the Eiffel Tower. Getting to the apartment was quick and easy. Get off the Metro at the Bir-Hakeim station, walk down the street away from the Tower 1 1/2 blocks and you are in front of the door. A big grocery and laundry are within 5 blocks, and from the Champ de Mars Train station 2 blocks away you can get to Versailles in 25 minutes. We were there just when the trees were starting to leaf out, so the view of the river was somewhat covered, but there is a walkway down the middle of the river that starts 200 yards away. 7th floor means there was lots of light. It is located on a busy street, and there is some traffic noise. The windows are good, and we were out every day. Even for Paris the bathroom was small, but had everything you could want. We will stay here again.
