Chosen by the Fine Living Channel as one of the most romantic apartments in the world, our two-bedroom, two-bath Paris apartment rental is absolutely stunning! See the video on our ParisPerfect Website and you’ll agree. At 675 square feet, it easily sleeps five people in air-conditioned comfort, and it boasts a balcony fronting both the living room and master bedroom with incredible views of the Eiffel Tower!
Located in the Left Bank just four blocks from the river Seine, Merlot looks out over the beautiful Champ de Mars park and the Eiffel Tower — only one block away. Directly across the street you can catch buses servicing all points of the city, and the Ecole Militaire metro is four blocks away, but the local neighborhood, the much sought-after 7th arrondissement, is packed with things to do and see. The neighborhood is unique in that it has retained its village-like atmosphere, and you’ll be surrounded by cafes, restaurants, open markets, and historic sites. Easily within walking distance are the Musee d'Orsay, Invalides, Bateaux Mouche boat tours, the Bon Marche Department Store, and the major fashion houses on Avenue Montaigne. The legendary rue Cler market street offering the finest in fresh foods is only three blocks away.
Step off the elevator and enter this apartment to a tastefully decorated entrance hallway. The bedrooms are to the right, and the first bathroom and kitchen are to the left. Directly ahead is the sun-filled living room with two French doors leading out onto the balcony and amazing views of the Eiffel Tower. This romantic room features original parquet floors, a beautiful marble fireplace, and a long sofa that converts to two twin beds at night. An antique commode and mirror sit between the two French doors, two built-in closets provide good storage, and stylish prints and other artistic touches complete this most enchanting living space.
Step onto the balcony to experience incredible views of the Eiffel Tower to your right and Parisian life below. The tower is an unforgettable view as the sun sets behind it and it softly lights up, and it’s magical when the light show comes on for 10 minutes every hour. Enjoy breakfast at the marble bistro table or toast your stay in our Paris apartment short term rental with champagne at night.
For entertainment there is TV with CNN, CNBC, etc, a U.S. standard DVD player so you can bring your favorite movies, and a stereo with CD player so you can listen to your favorite music. There is also a free wireless ADSL line for your computer, and a security safe for storing your valuables.
The dining table seats up to 8 and is on the right side of the room in front of one of the French doors. With a dramatic frieze mounted on the violet wall behind it and an awesome view of the Eiffel Tower, this may well be one of Paris’ most romantic dining venues.
The new kitchen features all of the appliances and accessories you need to cook gourmet meals. With open markets in every direction, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and a reserved table with a view every meal, our Merlot Paris apartment short term rental beats a hotel room every time.
Next to the kitchen is the first bathroom with a modern, full-size shower, a toilet, and a sink. With an 80-gallon hot water tank, a rarity in France, you can enjoy long hot shower after a full day of sightseeing.
The master bedroom of our Paris apartment short term rental is decorated in beige and chocolate brown with an antique-style Venetian headboard and elegant brown taffeta drapes for a very romantic feel. There is a new queen-size bed, good reading lamps, a second TV, and a built-in closet. Another set of French doors leads out onto the balcony for the same unforgettable views.
The second bathroom of our Paris apartment short term rental is newly remodeled in pale beige limestone tile. It has a full-size bathtub with showerhead, two antique stone sinks, and a mirrored medicine cabinet. For a whimsical touch, there’s a frieze of a mythical fish hanging above the bath. There are plenty of hooks for hanging things, a hair dryer, and good storage. Ample hot water means you can sink into a warm bath with a glass of French wine at the end of a long day of shopping or sightseeing, and there are plush white towels to wrap yourself in once you’re refreshed.
The second bedroom is very cheerful, decorated in yellows with a pretty Provencal-style quilt on the twin-size bed. There is a second twin bed that can be pulled out at night, a marble desk, a dresser, and a closet for storage and hanging.

When you book with ParisPerfect you'll receive a full information packet before you arrive familiarizing you with the Paris apartment short term rental, the neighborhood, and everything Paris has to offer.

Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 7We tried many Paris neighborhoods over the years and living in an apartment in the 7th arrondissement in Paris offered the best access to everything we love and enjoy! Step outside and enjoy café’ au lait on rue Cler on a sunny morning, stroll to Paris landmarks, museums and monuments, to world class shopping on the Right Bank, to the Orsay Museum, the Louvre, Rodin Museum, Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Grand Palais, American Library. Take morning walks, picnics & bike rides in the Champs de Mars gardens, to romantic walks home along the river at sunset. It’s a beautiful old quartier near the romantic Seine that has maintained a village-like atmosphere, surrounded by bistros and shops so you can step outside and savor life. It's one of the safest arrondissements in Paris; it offers more open air markets than any arrondissement in Paris. It costs more to invest in the 7th, but to us, it is worth every penny. We greet our butcher, baker and local cheese specialist daily. They know what our favorite cheeses are and make favorite suggestions. They know the exact kind of baguette we want each day, not too brown and crusty for soft cheese. That is what we have been lucky enough to find in our neighborhood and we hope you’ll have a chance to enjoy the same special lifestyle.

Owner's Map of Paris Arrondissement 7
My company transferred me from San Francisco to London for work, and it wasn’t long before I met my husband Philippe on a ski vacation. We were married and bought our first apartment in Paris where Philippe was working as a cardiac surgeon. Friends and family loved staying there for the fantastic location and views – walking distance to cafés, landmarks sights and wonderful shops. They loved the experience of living like a Parisian, shopping in the nearby open air markets for the freshest foods, buying warm baguettes next door, enjoying café au lait on the balcony, eating at affordable brasseries and restaurants that Parisians go to just around the corner. They asked if they could rent our pied-à-terre when we were away, and our Paris apartment rentals business was born! Philippe left medicine for business and we now commute between London and Paris on the Eurostar and have two great children who have French and American citizenship ... and who always point out my French grammar mistakes!

"The experience of renting Merlot changed the way I think about travel -- never will a hotel have the same appeal as renting such a fabulous apartment. The Merlot apartment was literally perfect -- charming, clean, comfortable, convenient, etc. In addition, Paris Perfect's service enhanced the apartment living experience to an exceptional level: luggage storage, welcome appointment, stocking of shampoo, lotion, hairdryer, adaptor, trash bags, paper towels, coffee, milk, linens, etc."

“The weather was perfect and the location was awesome! Great view of the Eiffel Tower from the patio. We really enjoyed waking in the quaint Parisian neighborhood, buying our baguettes and wine from the local store, and then sitting out on the small patio eating our bread and drinking our wine - of course all with a great view of the Tower a few blocks away. The yellow bakery around the coner (on Rue Saint-dominique) was awesome! The shopping (again on Rue Saint-dominique) kept my wife and teenage daughter busy for hours. And, the daily market vibe of Rue Cler was a highlight. It was a perfect week! Thanks!"

"We just wanted to thank you for our beautiful accommodations at the Merlot apartment last week. We had a wonderful time and everything was just perfect. The apartment was wonderfully located with a beautiful view of the Tour Eiffel, and had every conceivable luxury. Thank you so much. We hope to return to Paris soon."

"A trip of a Lifetime....This was a vacation where simply everything fell into place for the four of us. Smooth traveling, absolutely wonderful warm spring weather in Paris (all the flowers were blooming!), the amazing and beautiful sites of the City of Lights and a terrific comfortable place to call home for the week. The Merlot apartment was just right for us. Overall we Americans are used to dwelling in an abundance of space. What my wife, friends and I learned was that we probably have more space than we really need to use back home as our place on Ave. Bourdonnais had more than enough room. We really liked the features such as the amenities in the kitchen and the bathroom. Loved having the free phone service to the States. Best of all was coming out onto the terrace at least twice a day to look out onto the city and, of course, the Eiffel Tower. It never got old. I loved my first trip to Paris. I can't wait to come back. I think my favorite neighborhood was where the Merlot was located in the 7th Arr. I wouldn't hesitate to find a Paris Perfect apartment for my return visit. I would bring my wife and four children back to Merlot if only they had a second commode in the second bathroom. Any chance of that??????? So happy my wife discovered Paris Perfect. Thanks for all the great memories"

"Our stay in Paris was absolutely wonderful. The city, of course, is beautiful, the people warm and friendly and the food, regardless of how simple, was fantastic. The apartment, however, made the trip. I traveled with 2 twenty year olds and we had so much fun with our down time in the apartment. Instead of running around all the time, we saw what we wanted and took advantage of some of the normal things Parisians do and we had our own place (not a small hotel room) to go back to. We had our own Christmas away from home; made our holiday dinner and opened our presents. The view was exciting and we never tired of it. We went to Madrid after Paris and rented an apartment also. Although beautiful and modern, it doesn't hold a candle to ParisPerfect. I am not counting the view because that would be unfair. The way ParisPerfect does business is outstanding. The apartment was inviting, the welcome was warm, everything(everything) was explained in the book and I could go on and on. Just wonderful. Lisa was so helpful and Chris was great. I want to come back to Paris someday and when I do I will stay in a ParisPerfect apartment or the trip will not be as wonderful as our first."

"To The Paris Perfect Team: we've been guests of the Ritz hotel for years but after our Paris Perfect experience I think they've lost our business forever! As beautiful as the web photos look....the apartment and experience exceeded our expectations! The office and ground staff are wonderful and a bonus that makes your travel day so much easier. Madelyn's guides to Paris make you feel like a true insider regardless if this is your first or twentieth trip to The City of Light! Congratulations on a terrific business....you've really got it right! We've already booked our return visit! "

Renting a Paris Perfect apartment gave us the best vacation ever. Within minutes of our arrival we felt like we were in a cozy nest. The on-ground staff took excellent care of us and we can't wait to return. Since we'd been to Paris three times before we had already seen all the main sights 2-3 times so this time we decided to leave ourselves open to whatever came along and boy, some great things came along. My favorite surprise was the parade of six deux cheveaux, each one a different color, that passed by on the street below. They got caught in traffic so I watched them for several minutes. My other favorite event began with a doorbell ring at 11:00 o'clock one night. My husband Bill, who was just about to jump into bed, answered the door. It was the woman across the hall, whose electricity had gone out and could we help her? Bill explained where she could find the fuse box and how to throw the circuit breaker. She was perplexed and asked if he wouldn't mind coming over to show her. So he traipsed across the hall in his bare feet and very droopy pajamas behind this stranger and saved the day for her and her two roommates, who were alsowatching anxiously.We had many more treats, such as interacting with kind and friendly merchants, accidentally finding a fantastic photo exhibit near the Seine, and coming upon a building covered with mosses and leafy plants from bottom to top.Madelyn's recommendations for shopping and eating are spot-on. From ice cream to croissants, we had the best. I can't believe we didn't gain weight.We will absolutely recommend Paris Perfect to others and we will come back ourselves as often as possible. For us, the experience really was perfect.”
