Cozy Studio in the Heart of Paris
Year Purchased: 1992
Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 3
We chose Le Marais because it is central and has a real old parisian feeling . Yet there are all the trendy restaurants, shops and art galleries - so we get the best of both worlds !
The Unique Benefits at this Studio
Love the fact that you can be anywhere in Paris in no time - and yet the apartment is so quiet that you feel remove from the buzz of the city when you come back to it .
Owner's Map of Paris Arrondissement 3
My husband and I moved to Provence in 1992 and couldn't leave Paris totally, so we bought this "pied à terre" .
My work takes me around the world half the year and made me realize that vacations were to be spent in a home and not in an hotel, so I thought that others might feel the same and decided to rent the apartment .

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Everything you need in this PERFECT apartment
Guest: Ana-Maria
(Brisbane, Australia)
Date of Stay: 08/16/11
Review Submitted: 11/18/11
My husband and I booked this apartment for 6 nights at first and were so impressed with the location, layout of the studio apartment and the helpfulness and friendliness of the owner, Catherine, that we booked it again for another 4 nights 3 months later. The location is ideal - right in the heart of Le Marais district, which has an abundance of cafes, restaurants, markets, parks and fashion stores (and there is a really great Boulangerie/bakery [Chez Mason?] around the corner for croissants, pain au chocolat and baguettes for breakfast!). It is about a 5-minute walk from the nearest metro and only a 15-minute stroll to the Le Seine. The apartment is so well-equipped, clean and well-maintained that there is no reason to not feel right at home. Catherine provided a helpful guide, which contains tips, maps and contacts and makes it a bit easier to find restaurants, grocery stores and shops around the district - perfect for first-timers in Paris. If/when we return to Paris - this is where we will stay again...

My husband and I just returned from a week in Paris. This was our first experience with vrbo but will not be the last. The apartment has everything you could possibly need although a couple of more towels would be nice. We did not cook much but loved having the american style coffee maker for the morning and it was great having the fridge to keep our cheese and cold drinks in. We walked to all of the sights from here and felt perfectly safe being out in the wee hours of the morning. The pictures on the website are very accurate, the description was wonderful and it was extremely clean. Catherine was excellent both with emails before we got there, providing direction from the airport and answering any questions. As we had a very early flight home, and our French is very limited, she looked after booking a cab to the airport for us. She is like an old friend. We would recommend this apartment home to anyone and would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you Catherine for helping make our first Paris trip so enjoyable.

This well appointed apartment is ideally situated in the heart of the Marais with restaurants, supermarkets and transport within easy walking distance. With so many cafes nearby it is difficult to choose the best, but all tastes and budgets are catered for. The apartment is secure and overlooks a pleasant courtyard entrance. Catherine is a wonderful host and is very helpful with advice to solve the little problems that many travellers encounter. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to our friends.

Hemos disfrutado de unos días fantásticos en este estudio en París. Está situado en un barrio de pequeñas calles muy animado, bien comunicado, con variedad de tiendas y restaurantes en las proximidades, que han hecho nuestra estancia muy cómoda. El estudio es muy tranquilo, más bonito de lo que reflejan las fotos, acogedor, limpísimo y equipado con todo lo necesario para disfrutar de nuestras vacaciones. Catherine es maravillosa; nos facilitó toda la ayuda e información que necesitamos para aprovechar al máximo nuestra estancia en París. Un lugar muy recomendable para disfrutar de la ciudad.

Comfortable Studio in Le Marais
Guest: Terry

Date of Stay: 09/19/10
Review Submitted: 10/26/10
This studio was wonderful. The location is perfect, close to the foodie hub and although small, the studio is spotlessly clean with every conceivable comfort. The bed is supremely comfortable, there are music and film DVDs, English cable TV stations and a multitude of guide books as well as Catherine's excellent local advice. The shower is great and the tiny kitchen is very well equipped. I stayed in the studio alone for one week in September 2010 and would not hesitate to book it again. It was far better than another larger studio that I stayed in a few weeks later. I carelessly left behind a piece of clothing and Catherine went out of her way to make sure I got it back.

Beautiful Cozy Studio in the BEST Neighborhood!

Catherine was WONDERFUL to work with. She was so helpful and thoughtful with everything from email alerts about possible traffic to the airport to giving us awesome tips on restaurants and things to do to immerse in Parisian life! Be sure to read her little booklet on the table upon arrival! The studio was very clean, well-equipped, and decorated with a nice personal touch! We had everything we needed! And Angelina the housekeeper was so very accommodating and sweet. The studio is in a prime, trendy, high-fashion boutique area, but quiet and also very close to some of the best street markets in the city! We would stay there for sure on our next visit to Paris. Thank you Catherine!

We had a great time staying in the studio during our 8 days stay in Paris! It is very central, and we walked everywhere - to Notre Dame, Louvre, Latin quarter it was only about 20 min walk, and walking is what you do in Paris! I think we only started using metro ( which was about 5 min from the studio) after the first 4 days...The area is full of little streets with restaurants and cafes, so there were plenty of people around later at night and always felt quite safe. We used one of the local supermarkets to stock up on food, but bought bread around the corner. There were 2 laundromats very close to the studio to do the washing. The kitchen had way more utensils than we needed ( we didn't cooked much), the studio was very quite at night as the windows were facing the internal courtyard. There were lots of maps, guide books and a dictionary in the apartment, and Catherine put together a very useful booklet with all the vital info about the area and staying in Paris. Catherine organised everything ( even the taxi to the airport) to make our stay perfect so we would happily stay there again! Thank you Catherine for your hospitality!

The only little minus was the size of the bathroom - very small, so it might be a bit uncomfortable for a large person, but I guess it is pretty normal for a parisian accomodation and we would still come back and recommend the property as it was perfect in all other respects. Catherine organised everything ( even the taxi to the airport) to make our stay perfect so we would happily stay there again! Thank you Catherine for your hospitality!

The Perfect Paris Flat!
Guest: MJ
(Missoula, MT)
Date of Stay: 06/19/10
Review Submitted: 08/20/10
I cant say enough about the flat and the experience we had working with Catherine. I cannot think of a single complaint. My wife and I were taking our first trip to Paris and this flat was perfect. We loved the neighborhood - great restaurants, shops, bakeries, all only a few blocks away and the majority of sights to see are all within walking distance as well. Catherine was a great host. The studio is full of travel books and maps, and Catherine's personal lists of where to eat and places to go was a huge help. Id advise everyone to take advantage of the Velib Bicycle station only a few blocks away - we loved checking out bikes and riding around Paris - a wonderful experience. It was nice that the flat did not face the street as well, which always made it a quiet retreat where we could open the windows and enjoy the view into the patio and the natural light w/o the street noise. THANKS CATHERINE! If we return to Paris we would definitely stay here again!
