A great home away from home when you're in Paris

Our family of 5 (3 teenagers 12, 15 and 19) spent four nights in this lovely apartment. The layout is very comfortable with plenty of storage and two tastefully remodeled bathrooms. The family concurred that the beds were the most comfortable we had ever slept in away from home. The apartment's squeaky original wood floors add charm as do the large windows opening onto a quiet residential street that bring in lots of light and subdued city sounds. We also loved the separate shower and bathtub setup which worked out perfectly for our family. This apartment is literally right around the corner from a major metro station so you can quickly get to all the popular attractions in the city. The property managers Michele and Gaela are very helpful and accessible. Both are extremely fluent in both French and English. Make sure you get a cell number from them before your trip so you can easily contact them in case of a travel delay especially if you've arranaged for a driver through them. We missed our flight to Paris and were not able to waive the driver off as we only had office numbers and email addresses for Michele and Gaela and did not have the driver's number. We spent 4 nights in a spacious upscale row house in London immediately after our four days in Paris and the family all agreed that we preferred the Paris apartment even though it was 1/3 the size of the London property. We found it much better to have everyone on one level instead of 3. This is something we didn't think much about until this trip. Make sure to walk to the Place Des Voges square when you stay in this apartment. It is the oldest square in Paris and the former home of Victor Hugo is located there. In summary, I highly recommend this property.

We were two couples each with a baby staying for a long weekend in Paris. We had a fabulous time. The flat has a great location with easy access to the Metro and all the Marias action. The flat itself is new and has everything one needs - including a washing machine and a computer. The best, however, is the owner and her Colleagues. They were there to assist us in booking restaurants and local recommendations. We couldnt have been happier!!! I recommend this flat to anyone traveling to Paris.

Hello, I just left this beautiful apartment, where I went to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends. Everything was perfect, located a fews steps from Republique metro station and a 5-minute walk from Marais and all the fun. Very modern and renovated bathroom, a spacious living room, internet wi-fi, and all the kitchen appliances necessary for a very confortable sejour à Paris!

My family and I stayed in the apartment for a weekend in January. It was the perfect base, near the metro yet in a quiet street. The apartment is as good as it looks in the photos. It's in an interesting neighbourhood, great for wandering about, finding interesting shops and sitting in cafes, and its easy to access all areas in Paris as the Metro at Republique is so close by. Easy for Eurostar - about 3 or 4 stops from Gare du Nord. Would highly recommend it.

Our family of 5 had a magical Paris experience which was greatly helped by the accomodation. This recently renovated property is secure, clean, very well presented, and the rental staff are extremely helful and best of all it is located brilliantly. We were approx. 100metres from the Metro (Republique stop) which we used every day. The Metro line takes you to within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions. We had a well appointed kitchen (supermarket is 2min walk) for the days we didn't try the many local restaurants (Bofinger the oldest Brasserie in Paris is walking distance) and the breakfast coffee and pastry shop were at the nearest corner. Tourist attractions were very easily accessed and many are within walking distance (we walked to Picasso's museum, the Bastille, Hard Rock Cafe, Place de Voges). The washer/dryer made it easy for a family to keep on top of the laundry. This property is perfect for travellers without a car, there is no parking available nearby but you don't need a car here. We thoroughly recommend Marais for your stay in Paris!

We felt home away from home right away .....with a 14 month old baby mind you! We still felt like we were on vacation which was the point of this trip. Truly a GEM in Paris. We had a very relaxed time and needed for nothing. We cannot wait to repeat the experience! See you next year! With much love, Natissa, Gary, Sheila, Ariane, Kalim

The perfect place for the perfect stay. While we were initially attracted by the pictures on the internet, we soon realized that this place is more than the artifact of a great photographer : it started with the friendly and efficient booking process, continued with the warm welcome by Michele and carried through the entire stay. The place made us indeed feel "home" from the first moment : tastefully decorated, impeccably maintained, welcoming feel and in the most honest words of kids best put by saying "I want to live here". We will definitely be back ! A 5 star rating which leaves little, if any, room for improvement. Michi, Melanie, Isabel, Lola and Paul

Our familyof 5 visited Paris in March 2009 and had a great time with this apartment as our home base. Close to subways, dining, markets, easy museum access on transportation and just great walking areas. Clean, fully equipped, nice neighborhood Just remember it is the city streetlights and some streetnoise will happen. Kids loved running to the corner bakery for bread and treats on their own! Property managers were very friendly, helpful and accomodating.
