Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 1.5+ Baths (Sleeps 2)
Keywords: Apartment
This is an extremely charming, one bedroom apartment located in a beautiful 18th century building right near the Blvd St. Germain and the Rue de Buci in the 6th arrondissement in Paris. The apartment has beamed ceilings and two large windows facing the courtyard, making it extremely quiet.
There are 2 twin beds put together in the bedroom, one full bathroom with a large stall shower, sink, and toilet, and another bathroom with just a bathtub and a sink. The sofas in the living room are also quite comfortable for sleeping, so two people can sleep in separate rooms if needed. The apartment was recently renovated so the bathrooms and finishes are relatively new. There is a large TV, Wifi, DVD player, and an internet phone that provides free calls to the USA. There is no elevator but the apartment is located one flight up and it is an easy walk up.
I also have an English-speaking assistant available in Paris to help you if you have any questions or concerns.
Rue de Seine is a lively, fashionable street, lined with art galleries, cafes, and food stores. It is a 5 minute walk from the Blvd Saint-Germain and the River Seine. It is a "dream" location in Paris. Payment may be made Mastercard or Visa, personal check or via Paypal.

Map & Owner's Profile
Charming 1 BR Apartment on Rue De Seine Near Blvd St. Germain
Year Purchased: 1983
Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 6
Even though everyone thought he was crazy, my father bought this apartment in Paris in 1983. It was a total wreck but in a wonderful location in a beautiful building. His French is not great but that didn't stop him. He had the apartment completely renovated. About 6 years ago, he succeeded in buying the hallway that was adjacent to our apartment and we were able to connect the two and greatly enlarge the apartment. The apartment was totally renovated again at that time. It's been so great having a place like this to go to whenever airfares are low. I would rather stay in this apartment than any of the great hotels in Paris. It's just a terrific experience.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
I can take advantage of all the wonderful food stores on the Rue de Seine and Rue de Buci and have some delicious meals in the apartment. Check out the video that I made showing the Rue de Buci, just around the corner from the apartment. Be sure to turn up the volume to get the full effect.

I've stayed in many homes away from home over the years. This property stands out in many ways: The location couldn't be better: both close to everything (we didn't use any transportation but our feet except when coming or going from Paris) and completely private and quiet. The owner was attentive to every question that we sent her way, providing the most clear and effective instructions I have ever seen both before and during our stay. The bedding, linens, kitchen are simple, comfortable, clean, functional. Plumbing and appliances all work perfectly. There is a three foot shelf of guide books and a couple feet of fiction vacation reading. There is every possible convenience just outside the apartment door, including a laundromat! The wireless and phone services make communication with home and around Paris as easy as they could possibly be. This apartment is a lucky find.

Best Apartment Ever

I've rented numerous apartments in Europe and the United States, many from VRBO, but this apartment ranks number one for many reasons: great Parisian location, great value and a great owner. Shelly is the most organized and efficient owner I've worked with. She immediately responded to all inquiries and had easily understood instructions for all aspects of the rental. The apartment is within walking distance of the major tourist attractions and close to two metro lines and a taxi stand. Everything you need for your stay is right outside the apartment--a supermarket, a florist, numerous cafes and restaurants, including the excellent "Fish" right across the street, an open market and several places to buy prepared foods. Within blocks are the Eric Kayser boulangerie, the Gerard Mulot patisserie, the famous cafes Les Deux Magots and Cafe de Flore, movie theaters, Luxembourg gardens and shopping of all sorts. The apartment was as represented and very comfortable and colorful, with attractive art work on the walls, all necessary furnishings, and good beds and linens. It was clean and well cared for. I definitely would recommend this apartment and plan to stay here again in the future.

This is a wonderful home, clean and well appointed. Spacious, and don't discount free Internet and phone. The owner's recommendations and instructions made move into the area seamless. We were told by friends that the left bank 6 th district was ideal but this condo was best of best. ENJOY your visit.

My husband, 21 yr old daughter and I stayed here for 4 days in the spring, and it was just perfect for us. The location was ideal and having the two showers and sinks was very helpful when we all needed to get ready at the same time. The owner was fabulous to deal with, the listing was just as described and there were extra features that made our stay ever better than we'd hoped. Everything was new and clean, linens and towels ample and soft, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would return in a heartbeat, and recommend this apartment to anyone who would rather have the comfort and convenience of an apt over a hotel. It was great for three but even better for two people!

If you are lucky to find this apartment is available for the dates you will be in Paris, I would book it. Everything you could need or want for your vacation--very comfortable bed, bathrooms very clean, kitchen fully equipped, close to the Metro, wonderful restaurants in walking distance and a bookcase full of guide books in the apartment. The owner was so easy to work with--prompt with responses and explaining all you need to know about the apartment. I would definitely return on another trip to Paris.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this apartment. We found everything to be just as in the pictures. The apartment is in the best location to walk to many sights, as well as giving you easy access to the metro, RER and busses. The apartment was clean and had everything you needed to make your visit a pleasant one. The owner was great to work with, always getting back to you with answers very promptly. Should we go back to Paris, we will definitely look into staying here again.

...In a very centrally located neighborhood and one of which is bustling with life. ....There are cafes, restaurants, a flower shop, supermarket, and metro and bus lines within walking distance. ...The apartment location is also excellent for walking to many of the famous sites. ...Working with the owner was a pleaseure and all information needed to access the apartment was provided. The apartment was quiet, comfortable and is very well suited for either a couple or a solo traveler. I plan on returning in the near future.

Most reviews already rave about how this apartment will insure that your Paris stay is an exquisite experience. We consider ourselves sophisticated travelers and have stayed in many 5-star hotels as well as B & Bs. This apartment adds a wonderful dimension and richness to your Paris visit. Thus, we endorse all that has been written. The key considerations for making this your Paris home of choice are: 1. Location, location, location. 2. Location, location, location. 3. 24/7 street scene, or as close to 24/7 as any place in Europe ever gets. 4. The nearby gourmet treats. 5. The nearby world class museums. 6. The excitement. 7. Shelly’s support.

I can second all of the positive comments about this wonderful apartment. I would like to add that if you have never rented an apartment in Paris before, and are a little hesitant, Shelly's apartment is the one for you. Shelly makes everything very easy, from being able to pay by paypal (much easier and less expensive than wiring euros), to finding and using everything in the apartment. We have stayed in several different apartments in Paris, and this one offers the absolute best combination of location, convenience, and price. If you are STILL hesitant about renting an apartment for your stay in Paris, you should know that the owners of the café next door, and the restaurant across the street speak English and couldn't be nicer. And Shelly's manager answered her phone immediately when we called with a question. Staying in an apartment is so much more relaxing, economical, and fun than a hotel. Buy yourself a lovely bouquet at the florist around the corner (there are vases in the apartment) and pretend that you live there! My only hesitation about writing about this fantastic apartment, is that it will be booked up once people realize how nice it is.

I had a comfortable stay at this apartment..great location and walkable distance to many sighstseeing attractions(Notre- Dame Cathedral) and several great cafes.I personally liked the food at Jade Cafe. Apartment is clean and kept well.Both bathrooms had showers and sinks but wish there was a toilet in the front bathroom(not very significant but was manageable).
