We stayed at Rue Babylone March 12-19, 2011 for spring break. The apartment was very well-located and large enough to easily accommodate our family of 5. The beds and other furnishings were very comfortable. The apartment drew praise from our Parisian friend, who wanted to immediately trade her apartment for ours! Access to the Metro was great, with the nearest station just a couple of minutes away. Le Bon Marche is literally just past the front door, as is its rather incredible gourmet food hall, Le Grande Epicerie, which has an unbelievable array of gourmet foods and wines. Chateau Petrus, anyone? Michele and Elodie of Paris Rental Connections were very professional and easy to work with in arranging the rental. I can also recommend Altesse Limousines, a limousine service that picked us up at the airport in a very comfortable Mercedes van. Our driver, Patrick, was extremely fluent in English and well-versed in all things Parisian. I have rented via VRBO on several occasions and this was by best experience thus far.

Our week at 3 Babylone was incredible. Everything we hoped it would be. The agent met us at the apartment and gave us a thorough and friendly introduction. Then we made ourselves at home. The apartment is perfectly comfortable, down to the sheets. Space for everyone, including hallway doors to close if someone is up earlier than the others. The kitchen is perfect, laundry, the closets,the computer (and tons of outlets. The living room was our favorite. We had 6 guests in the apartment. Grandparents, parents and 2 older kids. We felt like locals, the Metro was around the corner. Food shopping at Le Bon Marche, dinner at Au Pied A Fouet down the street. Really just perfect. We would stay at the apartment again in a minute. The booking progress, the arrival and departure were seemless.

We had a great time staying in this cool and contemporary Paris apartment. The flat includes many unexpected upgrades such as wireless internet, washer/dryer, and air conditioning. We really enjoyed our time in Paris.

Five family members shared Rue Babylone and had a wonderful time. The apartment was beautiful and right in the heart of things. The Metro stop is one block away. A nice walk from the river.... The owners have furnished the apartment very well. It was great! We would recommend this apartment to others and hope to visit it again ourselves.

My family and I stayed for 7 nights in the wonderful apartment Babylone 3 in Paris during May 2009. Everything was as described, and more! The owners have thought of all a traveller needs with little luxuries that make a long flight to the destination seem but a little inconvenience. The proximity to Bon Marche was excellent for gourmet goodies, and of course the Metro and all other key sites are within walking distance. I would recommend a stay at Babylone 3 to anyone wanting a touch of luxury and convenience in the magical city of Paris. WE HOPE TO RETURN AGAIN SOON! Maree Brisbane, AUSTRALIA

This was our first experience in renting an apartment and we could not have been more pleased. The location, Metro access and modern amenities were perfect. The air-conditioning was much appreciated as we encountered an unexpected 2 day heatwave. Shelley was very responsive to a couple of minor issues we experienced. One suggestion: larger coffee cups for American guests.

Owner response:Thanks for your comments! We are buying more mugs! Michele from Paris Rental Connections

We had a week at BABYLONE 3 in April 2009, with 3 bedrooms in the St.Germain area of Paris. We had a fantastic time. Partly due to the beatutiful spring weather of Paris at Easter, but also in no small measure to the beautiful and comfortable apartment. It was a delight to come back there and relax at the end of 8 hour days walking all over Paris to see the sights. Sometimes we ate out, sometimes we ate in - a difficult choice given fantastic restaurants in Paris, but also lovely food available locally in the St.Germain shops to cook for yourself and relax over a bottle of wine at the end of a long day as tourists! Everything we could possibly want was in the apartment. This was a truly memorable experience for us and one we shall treasure, as our kids are growing up fast and I don't know how many more holidays we will have when all five of us will be together. This one shall remain in our memories, and the lovely apartment made it a delight to spend time together and relax. This is a fine apartment for anyone wanting something a bit special.

I stayed at 17 Rue de Babylone for close to five months as part of my sabbatical from my life in New York. I had originally planned to stay only for two months but I loved the apartment and my new life in Paris so much that I decided to stay three more months. The location is the best, in the heart of the St-Germain neighborhood, one of the most well known, elegant and lively in Paris. The streets are full of life, with the very chic Bon Marche department store just across the street. Yet the apartment is so quiet that you think you are in the countryside. It is exquisitely decorated, with state- of-the-art kitchen equipment, multi-room media system, and tasteful furniture. It looks like it was intended for the owners to live in, rather than for rental. I felt at home. I fell in love with the place and there is no doubt that the quality of the apartment contributed to make my short stay in Paris more enjoyable than I would have ever imagined. I highly recommend it, even though I will be a bit jealous knowing that somebody else has replaced me there... Enjoy it, et bonne chance. Farah

This apartment was the most enjoyable of any I've stayed in before. The set up is incredible - spacious, great decoration, 3 big bedrooms with soft sheets and comfortable mattresses, great location near all the boutiques and restaurants and cafes of St Germain. It was a dream to live like this for the week we were in Paris - sometimes stayed in as it was so much fun to just stay home! The washing machine was a dream to use as was being able to actually dry the clothes too! a big big thanks to the owner for thinking of everything you might need. An extra pleasure was the kitchen and the views and the appliances... need I go on? and Home Rental Connections' team were very professional and helpful from the begining right to the end too... we'll be back! Lynda and family

We were impressed to see how wonderful the apartment at 17 Babylon St is. It is very comfortable, elegant. There is a complete entertainment roll, with a big full screen TV, long distance telephone service and computer with fast internet service. The kitchen is modern, complete, with good quality appliances. The bedrooms are comfortable, big, lightly and have good views. The sheet sets are excellent. You can join the best of Paris, in a quite, security and beautiful place.
