We really enjoyed our stay in Isabelle's apartment. The location was fantastic, the housekeeper was awaiting our arrival, Isabelle was very friendly and prompt in responding to emails. We enjoyed bringing home take away food and a bottle of wine and eating in our own space with a beautiful view. Everything we needed was easy to find and in walking distance. I would love to come back. Thank you Isabelle, keep up the great work!!

Good for family of 4 with young kids

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.

My husband and I stayed in the Marie Antoinette apartment for a week in Paris. This was a fabulous place to stay and conveniently located near the Eiffel Tower. Booking the apartment over the internet was easy and secure. We definitely recommend Isabella's apartments.

We have just returned from Paris, where we stayed in Isabelle's apartments. The apartments were just as pictured and described on her website. They were clean and well cared for. The rental process was very smooth. Isabelle is a professional and easy to work with. There are others in my family who have stayed in her apartments, and, like us, they would do so again, no question about it.

Isabelle was just as wonderful and plesant as her Marie-Antoinette apartment we rented. Both Isabelle and her mom were able to help us immediately with checking-in and with any problems we had. On my next trip to Paris, I will definately rent from Isabelle again.

We stayed for almost a week at Isabelle's Marie-Antoinette apartment with our 7 yo son. The apartment was a good deal and exactly as described. The bed was very comfortable and our son slept well on the pull-out in the living room. Isabelle is a pleasure, and we particularly enjoyed our interaction with Mme Florac. Renting an apartment on-line is always a leap of faith. This is one aspect of your trip that is guaranteed to run smoothly. P.S. The hallways were being freshly painted when we left. Wish could have stayed longer to see the result.

We stayed in the Marie Antoinette apartment near the Eiffel Tower for a week at the end of September. We found the apartment to be very comfortable and was exactly as advertised. It was so easy to get anywhere, and so nice to come home to, after a long day of walking and seeing the sights. I loved the location- it was a 2 minute walk from the metro and the RER. We didn't actually "cook", but we really enjoyed not having to eat all our meals in restaurants. We picked up some delicious cheeses, breads and meats at nearby stores for snacks, and ate all our brakfasts there, before setting off for the day. We never tired of watching the Eiffel Tower and the bateaux mouche glittering along the river at night. We felt very secure here- a keycode to get in, and very good locks on the door. Isabelle was a treat to deal with, and I wouldn't hesitate to rent from her again.

We stayed in the Mona Lisa and Marie Antoinette apartment from Oct 30-Nov 5, 2007. The apartments were great and close to everything. Very accessible to the metro and beautifully decorated. We will definitely come back and thanks Isabelle for a great stay!
