Old world charm in the heart of Paris!

Come and stay in our gorgeous, sunny and quiet 2-bedroom apartment on the top floor of a classic old Paris building, just yards from the fabulous rue Mouffetard street market in Paris’ wonderful 5th arrondissement.

The apartment has all the typical Paris features you could dream of: hardwood floors, molded ceilings, marble fireplaces, full-length windows and small balconies at every window. Because it is at the top, it is incredibly bright and sunny on both sides, with open aspects to the back, a through breeze on hot days, and no neighbors walking about above your head!

It has been fully remodeled by a wonderful architect, who preserved all the old features, added some fabulous touches of his own, and installed a level of comfort rarely found in Paris rental properties. The spacious sitting room gets the morning sun, while the kitchen is a joy, with all that you need to produce gourmet meals. The apartment comes fully-equipped: dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, ceiling fans, and power shower. Phone calls to US and most European landlines are free, and there is a PC with broadband internet access (or wi-fi access if you want to bring your own laptop).

The apartment is on a quiet street, but right in the middle of a bustling neighborhood with an abundance of cafés and restaurants, shops and cinemas. We are just a stone’s throw from the rue Mouffetard, a classic Parisian street – narrow and cobble-stoned, it is host to a daily fresh produce market. We are also just minutes from the Pantheon, la Sorbonne, Notre Dame, the Seine, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Jardin des Plantes.

This is our home too. Until recently it was our full-time family home, and has a lovely warm feel to it – we left it with great reluctance, and return whenever possible. You will be greeted and welcomed by a professional, English speaking hostess who will accommodate your every need while in Paris. Be our guests!

Owner's Map of Paris Arrondissement 5

Our family lived in this fabulous apartment for 20 years, first as tenants and then as owners. We absolutely love it, and especially the friendly and bustling neighborhood - everything is within minutes of the front door.

We left Paris for family reasons, but all our family and friends insisted we hold on to the flat as the 'perfect Paris apartment'!!

    • My 15 year old daughter and I just returned from a week in the apartment (I recommend using the Paris blue airport shuttle to get there, reliable and cheaper than a taxi). It had everything you could ever need - just pack your skivies and go! November was cold, dark and rainy and the apartment was a warm and cosy retreat, and caught every single ray of sunlight that did shine. The neighborhood is safe, the local market vendors were very friendly, the fruit, bread, cheese and deserts beyond compare. Walk to city center was lovely along quiet, cobblestoned Mouffetard. Metro a skip away. Knowing about this apartment is like having a best friend with a Paris flat. SHHH - don't tell anyone about it!

    • We have just returned from a week staying at this fantastic Paris apartment and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for accomodation in the City of Lights! The description given by the owner is accurate and are even modest. Upon arrival we were instantly captured by the feel of the apartment - both romantic and comfortable and were thrilled with our choice after looking at almost 200 others and finally finding this gem! This is sooooooooo much better than a cramped, colourless hotel room. There is space galore and the fully equipped kitchen comes in very handy for those nights you decided to stay in and put up your feet and enjoy your goodies you purchase at the local markets in nearby Rue Mouffetard and along Rue Monge! Transport is virtually on the doorstep or a short stroll to nearby Metro station . Cost from CDG airport was around 50 euros ( during early morning traffic). This was better for us than Metro as we wanted door to door until we got our bearings. Metro passes and Museum pass available at airport as is Open Top Bus tour tickets - a good way to see the city on your first day. Try the local organic pattisserie down the street, near the fountain, for to die for breads and cakes and the Fromagerie ( cheese shop) up on Rue Mouffetard for cheeses. Visit the 3rd and 4th Arrondisements for fantastic pates and doner kebabs - in the Jewish streets and a MUST visit is the Isle de St Louis for the best icecream we have ever had - easy to reach from Hotel de Ville Metro station across little bridge and head straight to cafe that overlooks the Seine at the end of the street from the bridge. Take a river cruise and pass all of the beautiful buildings from a different angle and alight at Notre Dame and head up to the markets for some bargains! Catch the 27 bus back from Rue St Michel and you are at the door ( well almost) and drop off your shopping, head back to Rue Mouffetard and enjoy a fabulous fondue or even a pizza!! Please contact me for any other advice about staying at here - I am MOST happy to give further description and help!

    • We rented this apartment based on other guests' comments and the pictures displayed. It was everything that we would have wished for. The owner and local concierge, Yoli, could not have been more helpful. A delightful place to stay for a vist to Paris.

    • I can only heartily agree with previous guest comments. Our stay in Paris at this apartment was one of the highlights of our European trip - there were no negatives (highly recommended) and Clarissa is a pleasure to deal with.

    • I cannot begin to describe how truly wonderful this apartment is. It has everything you need to make your stay a home away from home experience. The position is ideal and the metro and bus being 'just around the corner' adds to the convenience. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to experience beautiful Paris.

    • Enjoyed my stay so much in Paris, I can't wait to go back! The apartment is clean, cute, and is larger than what is shown in the pictures. I location is fabulous! It is 1 block from DELICIOUS bakeries recommended by Clarissa and previous guests, 2 blocks from Rue Mouffetard, and 1.5- 2 blocks from the metro. Rue Mouffetard opens late (until 1-2 am) for those night owls and is a cool place to hang out. I didn't feel like a tourist living in this area, but was only a 10 min walk from the major tourist attractions (Notre Dame, Pantheon, etc)! I would not hesistate to recommend this place to friends! Yoli, the apartment manager, is very friendly and is easily accessible. LOVED the apartment!!! I can't say enough about it!Thanks again Yoli and Clarissa!

    • We stayed for a week in this marvelous, totally Parisian two bedroom on the left bank. This flat is everything you dreamed of when you thought of going to Paris. In a day or two you feel like a native rather than a tourist. The bedrooms are comfortable, the dining room is big, the kitchen well equipped, the bath and shower most modern and comfortable. We recommend without reservation. If I can provide any information from the perspective of a first time, very satisfied visitor to Paris, please contact me. Bill Wynhoff.
