Very Charming!

I have stayed at this charming, antique-filled apartment several times. The location is wonderful and extremely convenient --- close to the metro, the Louvre, Opera Garnier, groceries, patisseries/boulangeries, and an easy stroll to the Left Bank. In addition to the very good and abundant restaurants in the surrounding area, I love the proximity of The Palais Royal gardens --- a beautiful, serene atmosphere in which to relax at the end of the day. The owner, Christine, could not be more delightful and thoughtful. I will continue to rent this apartment and pretend to be a Parisienne for as many years as possible!

The Perfect Place To Stay in Paris

We just concluded a fantastic 1 week visit to Paris. This apartment was the perfect place to stay for us. Charming, romantic, bright, airy, cozy, and with a very nice touch of style and history. I particularly enjoyed the fact that it had a sleeping loft. If one of us wanted to slumber, the other could stay below and enjoy the apartment. During the day, we'd open the windows and take in the sunlight and fresh breeze. At night, things would warm up nicely once the windows were closed. In addition to traditionally stylish and comfortable furnishings, the lighting at night is very warm and inviting. Given its convenient location, we'd often stop in during late afternoon, take a power nap, and then head back out to enjoy Paris at night. For those who need internet (and I'm one of them), the WiFi worked great. Internet was fast and responsive. The Pyramides Metro stop is a 1 minute walk away. Via Metro, it seemed that every place we wished to visit was no more than 30 minutes away. The Louvre is within comfortable walking distance, as is the Opera. Plenty of bistros and cafes are nearby for convenient enjoyment. The owner is very friendly, charming, and helpful. Her recommendations were excellent and we ended our trip with a thoroughly memorable and dazzling dinner experience thanks to her suggestion. Without a doubt, I'd stay here again. Just thinking about this apartment brings a smile to my face.

Threre is not a more perfect place to stay in Paris than this most charming, comfortable and "oh so French" apartment. The location is convenient, the decor is beautiful and Christine is a joy! My adult son and I stayed here for one week and we couldn't have been happier. The sleepiong loft provided the appreciated privacy. What a pleasure to come "home" to beautiful books and relaxing surroundings. You will feel so lucky each day you return and so thankful you are not in a hotel! I hope to return again some day to Paris and I wouldn't even consider staying somewhere else! I could easily settle in and stay forever!

Our family of 4 stayed in Christine's delightful apartment in July 2010. It is even more gorgeous than the photos. It is exquisitely decorated with beautiful paintings,furniture, and a wonderful selection of books. We felt like privileged family friends as we enjoyed a home away from home. The location is fantastic -we walked almost everywhere but the metro is handy too. Cheap places to eat on every corner, Monoprix supermarket a few minutes walk away and some great restaurants also within walking distance (Christine helpfully recommended her favourites) I would definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to Paris

We stayed here in August, really enjoyed it and definitely will return on our next trip to Paris. The apartment is very close to the metro and Louvre, centrally located and the shuttle bus from the airport has a stop closeby which makes ground transport super easy. The neighborhood is very charming and has a grocery store nearby along with shops and restaurants and cafes. The apartment is fully and very tastefully furnished and has everything you need to cook, relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. It does not feel like a rental at all and there is plenty of room. Great apartment, great value and great people to deal with. I have no complaints whatsoever.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this wonderful apartment in May. The location cannot be beat-short walk to Metros, large supermarket, restaurants, the Louvre, Opera Garnier, Galleries Lafayette, and more. The apartment is adorable and beautifully decorated in French antiques and lovely paintings. Christine is marvelous to deal with and very helpful with many suggestions. I definitely would make this my home the next time in Paris!

My wife and I spent three enjoyable and comfortable weeks in Christines lovely French style apartment. The location was excellent, walking distance to the National Opera House, Rue de Rivioli, Notre Dame. The Monoprix supermarket, restaurants,and any store needed are right in the neighborhood. The king size bed was extremly comfortable with linen supplied and a library with both tour and reading books. In addition the couch converted into an additional bed. The apartment exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Christine for her hospitality.

This is the perfect apartment for a visitor to Paris. It is perfected located, within walking distance of the Louvre, the Opera, the Comedie Francais, shopping & metro. The apartment is elegant & beautifully furnished with the visitor's every need considered. Christine Paul & her family are kind & gracious hosts. My daughter & I felt completely at home immediately. We look forward to our next visit to Paris with the knowledge that our "home away from home" will be waiting for us.
