April, 2012 This apartment is perfect, there is no better choice! Everything is very clean, bright and has magnificent views and a panorama that can be easily compared with a visit to the Eiffel Tower and Paris. In the evenings we were so tired that we liked to study Paris sitting with a glass of wine at home ... We also liked the district of La Defense - pure, noble, elegant and modern. A shopping center is on the ground floor of the building. Another very nice shopping center in the area is “The Quatre Temps” with shops, cafes, restaurants, the merry-go-round and other games for children. The building’s area has ideal transport links: Metro, RER, train, tramway, buses, taxis, allowing quick access to any destination: Versailles, Disneyland, any place in the center of Paris. Also the building has a convenient parking. Jacqueline, the owner helped us all the time before our trip, answered all our questions, met our requests. Everything went well and exactly as we wanted it to be. This Beautiful apartment was part of our successful journey to Paris!!! Dasha and family Riga, Latvia

The owner Jacqueline was terrific in all respects, and we enjoyed the rental. The window view is stunning and will never leave your mind. Walk to markets and shopping center and a transportation hub for Courbevois. There is a ten minute walk on safe streets to the La Defense conference/business center where I had work, and where there are numerous transportation and shopping mall options. The elevated metro train from Courbevois station goes directly to the Aquaboulevard de Paris.

Owner response:Thank you James and Sherry for leaving such lovely comments. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and holiday and will look forward to seeing you again. The best as always. Jacqueline

I was traveling to Paris for the first time in Seotember 2011. Quite an adventure. I knew that I wanted to have a home-like environment during my stay. The apartment at Les Gemeaux in La Defense was just that. Charming, beautiful, clean and comfortable, with the most amazing 15th floor views of Paris---the Eiffel Tower, sparkling at night, the enchanting hills and Sacre Coeur cathedral of Montmartre etched on the distant horizon. I felt completely safe while staying at Les Gemeaux! The owners were helpful and friendly. The metro was just a short walk from the apartment and there were many shops, cafes and a supermarket next door to the apartment. It was very hard to leave the beauty of Paris and the delight of the apartment at Les Gemeaux. I would go back and stay forever in a heart beat! Bon voyage! You have made the perfect choice of accomodations in Paris.

The apartment is divine

The apartment is divine! We enjoyed Paris immensely; were so lucky to enjoy Courbevoie! This delightful apartment was exactly as the photos in the listing showed, and the owner was helpful and pleasant. We could not have asked for more. The apartment was immaculate and had all amenities required in excellent, like new, condition. The bed was most comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Shopping was close by and reasonably priced. We recommend that public transit be used. - right out front - or cabs, which are also most reasonable. The area of Courbevoie is a pleasant area and is well situated for travel into Paris, or other parts of the countryside. There are many things to keep adults and children busy. And of course, the view from the windows of this wonderful apartment on the 15th floor is truly a joy! Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and the Arc De Triomphe, all visible. We highly recommend this apartment - and have done - to our friends and relatives! C. & M. - Cardinal, ON, Canada - May 2011

I vouch that all of it is true

I was originally very apprehensive when I read the apartment review as they sounded "Too good to be true" Now having experienced Jacqueline's hospitality and the beautiful apartment, I can vouch with confidence that all of it is true! I stayed at the apartment with my parents. The views from the apartment are still ingrained in our memory. We were able to experience Eiffel tower lighting and its beauty from the apartment, couple of nearby building also had incredible light shows. I was meeting my family after almost a year. The apartment was just the perfect place for our first time in Paris. Fully - equipped and clean. The sofa couch was very comfortable. The bus stop to the metro/RER is right just outside the apartment complex. Grocery store and public parking is in the basement of the apartment. Clean and functional and beautiful apartment and a very prompt and helpful host…what more can you ask for. Jacqueline also provides with area maps, train maps and Rick Steve's Paris guide book etc...Which helped head start on our sightseeing planning. I would strongly recommend this apartment and definitely go back! It was worth the money!

Our stay in Paris was wonderfully enhanced by this very comfortable and spotlessly clean apartment that is so conveniently located. The view was magnificent; we looked forward to it at the end of every day of sightseeing and the sunrises were just as beautiful. We were so happy to find that the apartment was exactly as described (actually it's even more roomy than the photos suggest). The shopping mall underneath was so convenient and the restaurants were also great (particularly Le Rastignac). The food markets twice a week across the way were fabulous and allowed us to shop and cook "like real French people". La Defense is a beautifully quiet location at night which meant we all slept very well; but La Defense is also a spectacular place to visit. I have never seen such exciting architecture. This was a very pleasant surprise! I will happily recommend this apartment to friends and family. Jacqueline, you are a warm and welcoming host and we hope to be your guests again soon. Merci beaucoup!

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful apartment. Our first night was wonderful as we watched the magie of the night lights of Paris. The view was spectacular, the bedroom was a peaceful place to relax and reflect on our daily excursions of the city. This is a dream paradise, a place to make wonderful memories.

Beautiful apartment. The view is stunning and we had very beautiful photos of the Paris skyline with the great Eiffel tower in the mix. The sofa bed is very comfortable and the apartment is very spacious for my family of four. We will definitely use your apartment again and recommend it to friends and families.

Our stay was perfect, much better than in a hotel. The view of the city and the Eiffel Tower was gorgeous and the apartment was clean, well furnished and up-to-date. We were so pleased with the condo and the Location. It was very convenient for getting to just about anywhere in Paris. It was better than we ever thought. Waking up and going to bed with such a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower was an experience our daughter will never forget. A great found! Gerry, Carolyn,

What a magnificent stay in Paris! We rented this apartment for two weeks while I was working nearby. It was a perfect place for our family. My children enjoyed the municipal pool and the nearby playground each morning while I was at work and then it was a quick metro ride to downtown Paris for an afternoon of sightseeing. The apartment was astonishingly clean, and equipped with everything we could need. Noël and Jacqueline were gracious hosts, always available for questions. Our daughter was especially thrilled to see the Eiffel Tower from our window. We both knew Paris well before this trip but had never been to La Defense. We are thrilled to have seen a new neighborhood, and we will definitely recommend Les Gemeaux to anyone visitingLauren and Robert

What a great apartment and the views of Paris, especially the twinkling of the Eiffel Tower will be one of our most treasured memories. Great location, handy to Metro and RER and supermarket for supplies. Welcome change for us to be able to cook our own meals and enjoy the views. Thank you Noël and Jacqueline for having a wonderful apartment available. We would love toreturn. To other visitors: must sees are the Louvre, Tour Eiffel, Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe and the Jardin du Luxembourg. Watch out for early closing of the shops on a Sunday! McDonalds saved us from starving thatnight.Ian, Vicki, Danielle and Connan

As we sat this evening discussing our favorite Paris moments, each of us mentioned this apartment as one of our highlights: Each day after sightseeing we felt like we were coming "home", but not to just any home- this "home" has all the comforts, lots of extras like WiFi + long distance included and of course - a most amazing view that makes you feel like you can review each days' adventures again -just by looking out the window! We enjoyed the history of Paris and the modern flaire of La Défense.

Lovely, and really added to our visit, and our enjoyment of Paris!
