It was the perfect spot for a vacation for my husband and I. The location could not have been better. You can walk to any major site in Paris or rely on the Metro which is 1 short block away. Serge was very responsive, reliable and very personable. The apartment is exactly as advertised....well kept, nicely furnished and decorated. It is also very cool that this building is in Woody Allen's movie Midnight in Paris!! We will stay here again when we return to Paris. Serge - thank you again for such a great stay!

We (granddaughter, grandfather, grandmother) just returned from living as Parisians in Serge’s lovely apartment. We shopped at the nearby grocery store and boulangerie, enjoying most of our meals “at home”. Very relaxing after a full day of walking and touring. All the major tourist sites were within walking distance or easy metro access. The apartment was spacious and clean, with pleasant décor. Most important to us, the sleeping area was quiet. We appreciated having wifi and the use of Serge’s phone for calls back to the U.S. Serge’s quick responses to our emails were both professional and personable. It was delightful to work with him. We highly recommend Serge’s apartment and look forward to the possibility of “living as Parisians” there in the future. Jerry, Pat and Madeleine

This apartment made the stay in Paris special. I felt like a Parisian, shopping at the local grocery, eating at the outdoor cafes and riding the metro. Prior to and when we arrived Serge was wonderful, he helped to carry the bags and told us about all the local highlights. When we return we will stay there again due to the GREAT location.

What a wonderful apartment and location!!!

My husband and I spent a fantastic 2 weeks at Serges's wonderful Paris apartment in May. It has both old world charm and modern conveniences. The location could not have been better. Each day we went to the little bakery and grocery on the same block as the apartment. I think that we went to Fumoir's restaurant 5 times for dinner--just a block away. The 88 steps up to the apartment were probably a gift to us, as we just couldn't stop dining at the wonderful restaurants in Paris. Our duaghter joined us for a long weekend, and Serge provided a rollaway bed, which she said was very comfortable and fairly private in the dining room. Serge could not have been a kinder and more helpful host. The only slight negative in the apartment was the air conditioning set-up. We absolutely loved our stay and felt so at home. We definitely hope to return.

If you are looking at the pictures...that is EXACTLY how you will find this apartment. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I went to visit my daughter, who is studying in Paris, and we stayed together in this apartment for a week in April. The location was excellent...very safe, fantastic restaurants all around us, the metro was a few steps away, and we were able to walk to so many wonderful places, the Louvre, being one of them. Serge, the owner, is such a sweetheart, we want to make him a member of our family! He was very accommodating, answered all of our questions, had great restaurant and tourist recommendations and was available whenever we wanted him. I would highly recommend this apartment. It so made our week in Paris more enjoyable to have such a wonderful place to stay. Thank you, Serge, for making our memory in Paris even more enjoyable!! Hope to see you again!!

A wonderful apartment so close to the heart of historic paris. A true home away from home. Very handy having WIFI in the apartment plus internet access. Very quiet bedroom - no noise heard from the street. The double glazed windows work a treat. Very easy to just walk down to the metro station - 5 minutes walk - to get out and about. Thank you Serge also for arranging seamless transfer from and to the airport with your drivers. Everything was made very easy. Appreciate your recommendations re restaurants too...loved 'Le Petit Machon'....very friendly wait staff and lovely typical French food. We will be back !!! Thankyou again Serge...I will be recommending your place to my friends.... MG and FG / Sydney Australia. May 2011

The Perfect Paris Apartment

We spent two weeks in Serge's beautiful Louvre apartment and it was absolutely wonderful. I truly do not think that you will find a better apartment than this in terms of decor, comfort, location and proprietor. Serge was wonderfully helpful and his recommendations for restaurants were great. He went above and beyond the call of duty. When my suitcase finally arrived, Serge met with the airline delivery people and carried the suitcase to the room while we were out touring for the day. When we departed before dawn on New Year's Day, Serge made sure, in advance, that we had a cab for the airport which is no easy feat on that day. The photographs really do not do this apartment justice. It is spacious, bright and beautifully decorated. The apartment was spotlessly clean and cleaning was provided midway through our stay. The kitchen is very functional and has all you need to prepare a meal. From small features like birds eating from the suet feeders in the window to huge factors such as extremely close proximity to the metro and walking distance to many sites, this apartment was really ideal. We felt right at home. I not only would but have already recommended this apartment to friends. You will have an exellent experience. You really can end your search for an apartment with Serge's wonderful home.

A DREAM COME TRUE

Your search for a Paris apartment is over; this is the perfect one. The apartment is even better than described. The chic interior decoration is out of Elle Decor and beautifully designed to give such a spacious feel (this has to be larger than 750 square feet). While the decor has a comtemporary twist, the apartment is true to the period with high ceilings, wood floor, and those fabulous windows that can be opened to the sounds of the city. A great bonus is while you can drink in the sounds of Paris in the living room, the bedroom is perfectly quiet. This apartment is appointed for comfort. There is a computer, wifi, a sterio system with a dock for your ipod (very important for us), large plasma TV and top of the line appliances. The comtemporary bath is large with a great shower and plenty of vanity space. I was thrilled with the well equiped kitchen--this was stocked by a true cook. After a day of exploring, many times we love to come "home" and stay in for dinner--one of the reasons to rent an apartment. Serge gave us directions for the grocery, a marvelous take-away up-scale deli, wine store and favorite restaurants, all within a few blocks walk. If this is your first visit to the city or tenth, this is the perfect location with all the sights of Paris within walking distance, metro stops near by and the charm of a true neighborhood. Enough about the apartment. The Louvre is not the best thing in Paris--it's Serge! Prior to our visit his emails were imformative and fast. Upon arriving you will be meeting the nicest, most helpful, gracious host/owner ever. I must add that he has a charming sense of humor,too. He spent time orienting us to the neighborhood and area, answering any questions and making sure we were comfortable in the apartment. Do follow his recommendations for restaurants and shops--they are all wonderful. His office is minutes away and he is always accessable by phone and available. He is right there to answer any question from forgetting which button to push on the TV to the proper oven temperature. From the initial meeting he makes you feel that you have a friend. We are already planning a return visit to "our" apartment and dinner with Serge. This apartment will have you saying "Oh, la, la" and singing La Marseillaise!

Great apartment for our honeymoon!

My wife and I stayed here for 6 nights on our honeymoon and it was great! The apartment has everything you need, great living room, comfy bed, washing machine and a nice big tub. The location is fantastic as we walked everywhere. The Louvre is right around the corner, shops, cafes, grocery store and pubs too. Serge met us at the door and help carry up our luggage and was in contact via email with any questions we had. I would highly recommend the apartment to anyone wanting a home away from home while in Paris. Thanks Serge!

Home Away from Home

Guest: Steve (Durham, NC)
Date of Stay: 06/30/10 Review Submitted: 07/14/10

I just want to take a moment to thank Serge for his help and his willingness both to accommodate and ease any worries or concerns travelers may have prior to their trip. The apt. was fantastic, had everything we needed, and truly felt like a place of rest each day after much travel and sightseeing. The only downside was the hike up the five flights of stairs after a long day of walking. But anyone who has been to Paris before already knows that one will do plenty of walking and climb plenty of stairs, haha. In addition to the quality of the apt. the neighborhood was great with plenty of shops, restaurants, mini markets, and pastry shops. Not to mention Les Halles and the Louvre-Rivoli metro stations are very close by for easy access to all of Pari via the metro or RER lines. I highly recommend the apt., and commend Serge for his upkeep and willingness to help. When my wife and I return to Paris someday we only hope Serge will still be renting his place as we will most certainly be returning.

Owner response:Thank you Steve and fortunatly, you found an incredible weather in Paris that also helped you to have a great week. The apartment it's at the 4th floor. You'll be also welcomed next time :) Kind Regards, Serge !
