  My mom and I stayed at this wonderful studio for 3 days. The owner who lives upstairs is an amazing and delightful person! She is very helpful! I automatically felt comfortable staying at this studio. It is walking distance to markets, tons of great restaurants in Montorgueil, the metro (trains), The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, and Champs-Elysees. The studio is very clean and has a coffee maker, a toaster, an electronic stove, a small refrigerator and all of the supplies one would need on a trip away from home. It is very quiet and it is also safe in the building. I definitely recommend this studio to everyone who is planning a trip to Paris! I hope to come back and I will love to stay here again! Thank you Christine for your great hospitality! Muchisimas gracias Christine! Me encanto este studio! Yo y mi mama nos quedamos en Paris por 3 dias. La duena vive arriba y es muy atenta y es una persona increible...siempre ayudandonos con lo que ella pueda. El lugar adonde esta hubicado es espectacular! Uno puede caminar al metro (trenes), a los restaurantes, el mercado, La Louvre, La Torre Eiffel, y la calle Champs-Elysees. El studio es perfecto para 2 personas, es bien limpio y tiene todas las comodidades que uno necesita. Tiene para hacer cafe, una tostadora, una estufa electronica, y una pequena nevera. No se escucha ruido en el edificio y tambien es muy limpio. Recomiendo este studio a todos quien viene a Paris! Me encantaria volver y me quedare aqui de nuevo. Merci beaucoup, Christine!

  My husband and I stayed here for five nights during our honeymoon. We were very happy with the cleanliness and location. The apartment is small, but was not a problem for the two of us. It was nice to have a kitchen area for snacks, coffee and leftovers. The apartment is very close to several metro stops and has a nice little market street nearby. A laundromat was a few streets away. Lots of little cafes nearby. We very much enjoyed our first trip to Paris.

  i cannot be more complimentary then to say that everything about this apartment met or exceeded my expectations. the most important elements are there - cleanliness, comfort, location and those small but always appreciated surprises. how nice is it to not have to run out for coffee ..... and to have 3 varieties! wow. having just stayed in another apartment secured through VRBO in another country, one that had me scratching my head trying to understand exactly what a "furnished" apartment really means, i can tell you that this apartment has everything, and i mean everything one needs to, well, live in an apartment. and to add to it all, the owner is extremely accommodating and helpful - and available one floor above! should you decide to rent this apartment, you will not have made a wiser choice in any of your other travel decisions. enjoy, as i did. merci beaucoup, christine et a bientot!

  Christine, Thank you so much for an unforgettable week in Paris. Without your guidance we would never have had the same incredible experience that we did. At first we thought that we had our itinerary planned based on tour books and other tourists reviews, but upon spending an hour with you our whole trip was reorganized to see the real Paris from a tourist's and local's perspective that was very impressive and truly unforgettable. Your apartment was was very clean, modern, convenient, and we would highly recommend it to anyone. All the markets, restaurants, sightseeing, transportation, and nightlife were very close and within walking distance. For those who cannot walk we recommend using Hop and Hop bus line with an audio guide. Closest Stop (56) located on Bonneville Boulevard a few minutes from the apartment. You can use this bus for 2 days (24 or 48 hr) and run around all Paris for a fixed price. We had such an amazing time that we will definitely return to explore some more. Regards, -Yelena & Zory

  My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week in Paris. Staying at this studio was a fantastic choice. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Making fresh coffee early in the morning before going out for fresh croissants or bagguettes was a perfect start to the day. We could easily walk almost everywhere. The Louvre, Notre Dame, the Pompidou Centre, and Montorgueil Market- museums, shopping, gardens, bistros, grocery stores, food markets :these were some of the places we could visit on foot, yet we did not feel we were staying in a tourist area. The owner was charming and helpful, and we felt safe and comfortable. I definitely recommend this property for a Paris visit.

  Owner response: You were so sweet and funny! Thanks a lot. Chris

  My boyfriend and I stayed in this lovely studio apartment from May 30th - June 6th. We are both in our early twenties and found the apartment a great place to rest and recharge after long days of sightseeing and adventure! Christine was wonderful, providing everything we needed (including an extra lamp), and making sure we were comfortable and happy. In addition, my boyfriend is severely allergic to nuts and shellfish, so the kitchen was a welcome addition to the studio to insure we could dine-in when we wanted. The neighborhood is quiet and close to several fresh food markets and stores, as well as many heavenly bakeries and cheese shops. It's a great location for those wishing to stay in a place more "authentically Parisian" and away from tourist traps. We had no problem walking to sites such as the louvre, the latin quarter, and notre dame from the apartment (although older, or disabled visitors may wish to instead take the metro since it's a long walk). There are two metros near by which can easily transport you wherever you wish to go (I had no problem with the metro since I used to live in France and thus know them well, but even my boyfriend - a New Yorker and non-French speaker - found them very easy to manage). All in all, we really enjoyed our visit to Paris and the apartment fit our needs perfectly. The price is fair, the owner is lovely, and the location is great for those wishing an authentic Parisian experience in a non-touristy area. C'etait un sejour magnifique!

  We LOVED our stay here! The apartment is really well appointed, very clean and spacious. It has 3 windows, making it really light and airy. It is also very quiet. The sofa easily opens out into a large bed, which is extremely comfortable. We had everything we needed for a fantastic week in Paris! The building is very secure and has an elevator. Although there are 3 Metro stations close by, we found that we could walk everywhere. The Rue Montorgueil (great food, and traditional French breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien - yum!) is a couple of minutes away, and the Seine, Notre Dame, Pompidou, the Louvre and much more are within easy walking distance. The owner is lovely and really helpful. Thank you so much, Christine! Highly recommended!

  My wife and I stayed for 3 days in the end of June. Owner was very helpful and the apartment was exactly what the pictures show. My wife an I didn't really like the area the apartment was in, seemed shady after dark. The apartment didn't have Air Condition which we found to be the only problem. Would recommend to those not looking for an apartment with A/C.

  The apartment is exactly as pictured and was very modern and clean. The futon was exceptionally comfortable and by putting it into the sofa position for the daytime left very adequate space for moving around. The owner is a vivacious and caring person, visiting each day to see if I was OK after spraining my ankle getting off a train. She brought me books in English, coffee, salad dressing, and rented videos in English for me and my husband. Since I was confined to the apartment for 4 days, it was a comfort to be in such pleasant surroundings. My husband was able to find food for all 3 meals for each day in surrounding markets. We will have to return to Paris for a real visit! Jack & Rita Kubert - Liverpool, New York

  We absolutely loved our stay here! It is a well maintained building with secured entry. Our host was more than helpful! The studio is perfect for a comfortable stay for two, and is also very clean. It is within walking distance to the metro and the marche around the corner is very useful! We visited at least one to two times a day. It is also a very quiet building, no street noise. We are wanting to come back next year and rent this same studio again! Merci beaucoup!
