This apartment surpassed our expectations! We found it very spacious for four adults, modern, nicely decorated, very well equipped. Most of all, it is perfectly located with everything right at our fingertips: the metro, the sites, pastry shops, grocery stores, pharmacies, hundreds of restaurants. We especially enjoyed the restaurant that was right next door - Le Bistrot des Comperes. We will definitely stay at this or another of Cecile’s apartments on our next trip to Paris!

My wife and I shared the apartment with our daughter and a friend and with the layout of the apartment we had excellent privacy for the bedrooms and easy gathering in the common areas. The kitchen was well-stocked and everything worked well. The apartment was very clean and modern. The location could not be beat. A nice building, very quiet, and walkable to just about everything we saw in Paris. Just 2 minutes from St. Paul metro and 4 minutes from Pont St. Marie and the Marais neghborhood has great energy, wonderful patisseries, charcouteries, boulangeries, etc. And, Le Bistrot des Comperes, which shares the same address as the building, is a very good, reasonably priced French bistro. Cecile came over to the apartment to meet us and she is charming and was very helpful. I hope to have the opportunity to stay in this or one of her other apartments on my next visit to Paris.

Great Apartment! The locations is a 2 minute walk to the St Paul station on Line 1. Buidling has character (100 years old) but the apartment has all modern applicances, furnishings, etc... Bedrooms were compfortable and offer privacy from one another.We'd definately stay there again.

Hello Cecile I am writing to thank you belatedly, for the wonderful stay in your apartment in the Marais district in November. There were 7 of us (3 adults and 4 children) and we fitted quite well with the smallest child on tha airbed (unfortunately this had the habit of deflating during the night) however this was the only small issue we had in a wonderful visit. The location of the apartment is ideal for the Metro, bakeries, takeout food and restaurants, but is still very peaceful in its little courtyard and we felt very "Parisien" staying in this neighbourhood! The apartment itself is very charming, and well- equipped. The beds were very comfortable and we really appreciated the supply of towels and sanitary products. My concerns about picking up the key were unfounded - we took the train and metro from the airport and found the address at which to pick up the key quite easily on foot. Your folder containing local information was very helpful and it was great to know you could be contacted if there was a problem. We were truly delighted with our stay here and took several photos of the apartment to show to our friends at home. We will definitely be back and will recommed this apartment and your service to anyone we know who is going to visit Paris. Best wishes and happy New Year

Our family of five vacationed in the Marais St. Paul apartment in April 2009. Everything was perfect. I honestly would not have changed one thing. The apartment was lovely, clean and well-organized -- and looked exactly as the photos depicted. The location was ideal, with easy access to the Metro and within walking distance to the areas of Paris we spent the most time in. The Marais would definitely be my first choice of arrondissements to stay in next time in Paris. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment. Cecile Gabillet has done a wonderful job providing the perfect Paris vacation apartment.

Hello Cecile, Just wanted to touch base and say we are now back in Australia after a wonderful week in Paris, your apartment was fantastic and everything the web site says it was, very comfortable and within easy walking distance to all the attractions and the Met was just nearby for when it was raining. Although the weather was not that nice the apartment was warm and wonderful to come home to, and the restaurants in and around St Paul were great. It was also fantastic so have the supermarket and the wonderful bakery just nearby, although I must admit the bakery got plenty of business from all of us. Everything was very professionally done, and the assistance you have given us was excellent including your contact driver, what a pleasure to get off the train and have someone waiting to drive us to our destination. I will certainly be recommending your apartment to anyone I know going to Paris, I believe you have more than one and would be interested in knowing where your others are located, for when we visit again.

Our group of four stayed in this apartment in May, 2009 and loved it. The location is very convenient, the immediate area is full of interesting sights, sounds, people watching, and good restaurants. The apartment is quite spacious and so comfortable for lounging around after a hard day of touring. A highlight for us was going to the Sunday market at the Bastille, an easy walk.

Our recent stay in Paris was enhanced by the location and tastefully appointed apartment we rented in La Marais.The proximity to the metro and the ease by which we were able to get around the city was also a plus. We have never enjoyed a visit to Paris as much and it was due to the great accomodations. I recommend it highly.
