The apartment is just like the pictures, tiny but so well laid out and furnished that it seemed much larger. The bed was so comfortable we twice slept for 12 hours. Simple meals are easy to prepare in the cupboard kitchen. The computer was great to have! And the location can't be beat. We walked almost everywhere, and the baker, grocer, laundry, wine store, butcher store and produce store are all close by. We purchased a drip coffee pot and cone at a "vide grenier," the better to exploit the wonderful coffee ground for us at Verlet, also close by. (We left the pot for the next coffee geeks.) Perfect Paris interlude!

We enjoyed our stay in this charming neighborhood. The apartment is so comfortable and quiet that we found ourselves often sleeping later than we intended. We saw many great things, but one week is not enough. We will be back. Thank you Davy, it was a wonderful first visit to Paris!

The apartment is perfect - within walking distance to everything - cozy and secure. During our down time we enjoyed the new flat screen TV and high speed internet. Communication was simple, thank's to Davy's fluency in English. It was a wonderful week.

Must we leave??? We had a wonderful time in Paris, and this apartment was superb - well appointed, immacutely maintained, and near everything. We loved walking in the rue Montorgueuil area to put together our dinners - fresh bread, cheese, seafood - yum ! (My fqvorite part was our dinner cruise on the Seine... he asked, I said OUI ! What a romantic proposal.) We will be back, and will recommend Davy & Morgane's charming home to all.

Our stay in Paris was wonderful and I loved every minute of it. The apartment was FABULOUS and the owner (Davy R.) was very helpful and accommodating. His wife (we did not meet) has wonderful taste in decorating. Davy mentioned that the building was over 300 years old or more. The exposed OLD beams of the ceiling to the apartment gave the place a wonderful rustic feel. It was perfect for the two of us. Our location was one of the oldest districts of Paris. As for getting around Paris, we walked everywhere and the train system was very convenient and easy to use when we wanted to cover more ground quickly. Did not get the chance to use the bus system, but we heard it was even cheaper to utilize. The grocery, bakery, pastry, cafe's, bars, restaurants, EVERYTHING were steps or blocks from our 'flat or apartment'. Wanted to mention that the closest grocery store is right out the front door and the owner/sales person was VERY honest, helpful and TRULY a treasure! The Louvre was 2 blocks away! We walked to the many famous sites; Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower (walked up the stairs), L'Arc de Triomphe, Concorde, of course the Lourve and many COOL streets and neighborhoods of Paris. Caught the metro/RER to Versaille and it was FANTASTIC! Also - it was very easy to caught the metro/RER from the airport to the apartment and back. You do not need to use the TAXI's! All-in-all, we both TRULY enjoyed our stay in the apartment and Paris. When we get the chance again, we will be back. Darlene & Bryan Schmidt Edina/Minneapolis, Minnesota

We stayed two weeks in February of 2005. The apartment was wonderful and had everything required for a pleasant stay. All the basics were close at hand. It is very close to metro/RER lines at Les Halles, which couldn't be more convenient for seeing the city. The hosts left a very helpful book with information. For a bit more involved food shopping, it's a quick walk across the park to the rue Montorgueil and its collection of bakeries, pastry shops, traiteurs (caterers), and an excellent marchand du vin. I had a lot of work to do the first three days we were there and my husband amused himself at the Louvre, which was just a walk away, not far at all. The apartment configuration was quite convenient. We hosted a dinner party for six (the two of us plus four friends) and were able to manage in the space and with the available preparation area (two burners, small refrigerator, sink). The last time I visited Paris, I stayed with a friend who had visited us often in the apartment. We walked by the front door on our way to visit a restaurant that Davy and Morgane had recommended to us. We both put our hands against the door, just to feel we were there again. I cannot wait to return. I truly felt it was our home and my husband refers to the neighborhood the same way. Very clean, very nice hosts, perfect location, helpful guidebook, feeling you were living in the neighborhood, what more could you ask?

This is indeed a little jewel. The owners are exceptionally accommodating. The apt is darling and has all you need for great visit. Everything was spotless and of good quality.Perfect location with food/booze/metro at hand. Great bargain with a cell phone to use. We were 2 women and chose to each have our own bed so used the hide-a-bed. Kitchen in an armoire is a hoot and very efficient. Will return for sure! Susan

It was a wonderful vacation made even better by our perfect accommodation in Paris. Thank you for your generous hospitality. We loved the apartment. It was ideally located near all the major landmarks and fantastic restaurants and shops. It was a real pleasure to work with you and we truly appreciate your flexibility. We will definitely stay at your apartment again on our next vacation to Paris and we will also highly recommend it to our friends and associates. Thanks again and continued success with the apartment.
