A DREAM APARTMENT = It's more of a hotel than an apartment,
Paris, Ile-de-France, France - Elegant Apartment
Two Minutes away from the Luxembourg Gardens & Boulevard Montparnasse.
Be Euro-Savvy & Save Money!
This apartment is the ideal alternative to staying in a hotel.
Enjoy every convenience, including maid service (45-minutes) six days a week and a personal concierge available to help with your plans. Located just minutes away from the Luxembourg Garden and Boulevard du Montparnasse, you'll be greeted with goodies, flowers and champagne. All this for much less than the price of a small room in 4* hotel.
When you're in Paris on business or pleasure, it's so much nicer to return to an apartment with lots of space and English-speaking housekeepers who are available to do your shopping and laundry. In addition, if you need a baby-sitter or a person to help with a dinner, it can be arranged for an additional fee.
We have resources for airport pickup and delivery, will stock the refrigerator, make restaurant reservations, etc. This apartment isn't the usual impersonal rental and is our primary home and very warm and welcoming.
The apartment was completely renovated by the owner and designed with all amenities for gracious living. The sun-drenched 1400-square-foot two bedroom apartment (plus an additional sleeping area for one) is an ideal and quiet place to relax. It's located on the fourth floor (fifth floor USA) with elevator in an elegant 19th century Beaux Arts building. For your security, the building has a live-in concierge plus a night and weekend digi-code. For additional security, the apartment has an individual alarm system.
Guests don't feel as if they're tripping over one other and consistently comment on the apartment's spacious feeling. Please read the comments section.
Situated on a one-way street, the premises are quiet. The bedrooms overlook a courtyard of trees and gardens.
Enjoy the huge living room, comfortable bedrooms, newly redone bathrooms and gourmet eat-in kitchen.
A few of the many extras: a computer with high speed Internet access, WiFi, a free phone to make unlimited calls to the US and so much more.
We want to share our apartment with people who'll love and cherish our home as much as we do. There's a small balcony for two; we prefer smokers to smoke ONLY here. No toddlers, pets or messy adults please!

This apartment is decorated beautifully and provided plenty of room for four adults. The property is very clean and well maintained. Kitchen is extremely well equipped and it was great to be able to cook some meals at home and not have to eat out every meal. Great location with a small market just down the street. Fairly close to subway. Restaurants all around in walking distance. I would recommend this property to anyone.

We had a wonderful time in Paris and this apartment was a big part of the experience. The location is terrific and you can virtually walk anywhere if you have the desire. It's close to great restaurants, open air markets, shopping, major streets, etc, but at the same time it's private and very quiet. It is a perfect location from which you can meander the city, visit museums and all of highlights of Paris. It is also conveniently located to both the metro and the RER. Nothing is very far away. If you like the Left Bank and the 6th arrondisement, this is a place you should put at the top of your list. The apartment is exactly as described. It is spotless and impeccably maintained. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to the most discerning traveler. It is beautifully furnished but yet a relaxed and comfortable spot. I think the property is best suited to couples or families with older children. Karen (owner) and Riza (person on the ground) are both very tremendously helpful and readily accessible. I would go back in a heartbeat!

There are so many wonderful things to do and see in the most romantic city in the world, but my favourite thing to do in Paris is to stroll through Jardin du Luxembourg – and the location of this luxurious apartment allowed me to indulge in that activity every day during my recent holiday in Paris – I was in heaven! Tucked away on a charming and quiet neighbourhood street full of intricate wrought iron terraces and their overflowing flower gardens, and in the heart of the bustling 6th arrondissement, the location was truly perfect and contributed to making the apartment one of the many highlights of our trip. Its lovely furnishings, although not child friendly, are full of detail and history, and reflect the owner’s genuine love of France. Additionally, the fully equipped kitchen and large rooms made it a pleasure to come ‘home’ to each evening after lots of walking and site-seeing. A great deal of thought and attention has gone into the amenities available in the apartment, clearly suggesting that the owner takes pride in the home and desires to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. All this plus being so close to the train, restaurants and of course the wonderful Jardin du Luxembourg, makes this apartment a really special and truly Parisian experience. Can’t wait until next time – I can almost hear JdL calling for me to return - Je viens mon chéri!

We were 3 professional women on vacation in Paris and stayed at this lovely apartment the first week in October. We were very pleased to find it exactly as the owner described. It is located in a very nice, clean and quiet area, within walking distance of the metro, wonderful restaurants and shopping. The photos shown online accurately depict how the apartment was found upon our arrival. The owner was extremely helpful, communicative and concerned with our well-being and comfort during our entire stay. Having phone and internet connections was a plus! We would recommend this rental to anyone looking for accommodations of this type.

Superb Accomodations

Our vacation in Paris was made all the more wonderful by our superb accomodations. My wife, myself and our two teenage children (18 & 16) used this apartment as a home base for our 8 day Paris vacation and couldn't have been happier with the set-up. The kids had there own room with a tv and space for the laptop (including internet). When we were home, this was there hideout for reading, Facebooking with friends, and watching tv. The Master bedroom was quite nice but was only used for sleeping because my wife and I much preferred spending our down time on the cute little balcony, watching the world go by as we read our books and had our wine and cheese. There is one toilet, but two bathrooms so there was never an issue with waiting to shower or wash up. The kitchen is very well equipped and functional if you wish to save some money and cook while visiting. It is also the place we used for breakfast every day and for snacks, drinks, etc. It's so convenient to have a kitchen available and not have to run out every time you need something. The location of the apartment is also exceptional. Located within a stone's throw of Luxembourg Gardens, it is convenient to all the major sights. We walked absolutely everywhere, but that was by choice; there are both bus and train stops within an easy walk from the front door of the building. Within a one block radius you will find a grocery store, a boulangerie, and several cafes. Many other restaurants and shops can be found on the main street several blocks further. We couldn't have asked for better accomodations. Highly recommended.

- The listing description is accurate regarding the property's location. - The photos are accurate - Very Clean and Very well-maintained - Karen, the owner could not have been more helpful, kind and considerate. - Karen provided clear information regarding the apartment and lots of great touristy information in the personal handbook she created which is made available in the apartment. Lots and lots of books about Paris are available for your use while staying in the apartment as well. - I would recommend this property without hesitation. - The Luxembourg garden is very close and beautiful. There is local shopping and there are at least 2 bakeries within walking distance as well an many restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was perfect for two couples or a couple with 2 teenagers. Many thanks to Karen and Riza for making our trip to Paris all it could be.

I just spent a week in this apartment with my husband and my son. It is a very spacious, comfortable two bedroom apartment. The bookshelves were stocked with lots of guidebooks on Paris which was great. The washer dryer and also the free phone to the US were particularly nice conveniences. The apartment got cleaned daily by Riza who is very nice. The apartment is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood and it was a short walk to the Vavin metro station. It was like being at home in Paris. There is a patisserie nearby named Kayser where we bought lovely pastries for breakfast every morning. The restaurants in the neighborhood that we particularly liked were Le Parc aux Cerfs and Le Timbre. We did not like Wadja or Chez Fernand. Other restaurants we liked in the 6th, but which are a bit more of a walk, were Chez Dumonet and La Marlotte.

This is our favorite of over 10 Paris apartment vacation rentals. Your vacation starts upon entering the grand foyer of this secure building. Ride the elevator up, turn the key & voilà: enter the divine & spacious apartment that instantly feels like home. Drop your bags, pass through the entry foyer that doubles as dining room & enter a beautifully decorated salon outfitted w/comfy sofas, chairs, art & artifacts collected by a traveler w/elegant taste. Large windows (French doors to the balcony, actually) fill the room w/natural sunlight, a rarity in past rentals. Here's where you'll relax w/friends, sipping tea or nightcaps after a busy day of Paris sightseeing, shopping, shows, whatever! We hosted a soirée for Paris friends using glasses, china & serving utensils from the well-stocked kitchen. Two large bedrooms w/sunny courtyard views & curtains that keep out light so you can sleep in. Closets w/ample hangers & storage space galore. Stow the luggage--you're home now. Working on the road as I did? No problem w/free WIFI, computer, printer, scanner & even free long-distance calls to the US or around the world. The "Guest's Guide Book" answers every conceivable question--but the maid who visits daily is also a helpful resource. Maid service is the kind of pampering that makes this a true vacation! English-language & international satellite TV channels plus a library of DVD movies, music & radio/stereo system. The large kitchen will please any cook, but it's ok if you only use only the coffeemaker, ignoring the large refrigerator w/ice-maker, large stove & oven, microwave, dishwasher, etc. Pack light: there's a clothes washer w/separate dryer. Some rentals have combo washer-dryer units that take days to dry items--not so here. Two bathrooms w/shower, tub, heated towel racks & toiletries in cabinets. Separate WC w/pretty sink is stocked w/ TP—no need to waste your precious vacation time stocking your Paris home. Wander the quiet residential neighborhood well located at the edge of Luxembourg Gardens (just south of the Seine, east of St Germain area) or walk a few blocks the other way to the Montparnasse entertainment/dining district. Within minutes of all transit: several Metro lines, RER, bus & taxi stand. Nearby markets, boutiques & cafes, too. As ideal for 2 roommates as for 2 couples or a family. Immaculate clean. NOT ONE OF THOSE SITES W/FAKE "GLAMOUR SHOT" PICTURES & far more comfortable & affordable than a Paris 4* hotel.
