  • This is a long overdue recommendation for Ms. Comolli's flat in Paris. My husband and I stayed there for several months last year, and we already have our reservations for a return again this spring. I would think that might say it all! First and foremost, Ms. Comolli is an extremely kind and gracious host, which certainly is the flat's most important asset, though by no means the only one. The light, lovely apartment is beautifully and comfortably appointed, and in an area which is just outside the tourist locales - close enough to reach everything easily on foot or by Metro, yet quiet and in a "real" Parisian neighborhood. It is a short stroll away from the cafes of Blvd Montparnasse, but also only a 10 to 15 minute walk up Blvd St. Michel to Place St. Michel, in the center of everything. There is a grocery a few steps up the street, and additionally one can reach the outdoor markets of Rue Mouffetard, Place Monge, Port Royal and also those near the Montparnasse train station, by foot. The nearby Luxembourg Gardens were an absolute joy for picnicing, walking and people watching. Those who like to jog would find this an ideal spot for doing so, and would have plenty of company! If one walks completely through the grounds for perhaps 10 minutes, one ends up near Place St. Sulpice on the other side, another exquisite corner of Paris - and the location of some of the city's best chocolatiers. The apartment is wonderfully furnished and completely functional for use as one's "home away from home". I believe that up to 5 guests might be able to sleep there. A few details that we found especially fortunate: the bed in the bedroom has a firm mattress, and is probably king-sized, plus the building has a small elevator which is very helpful for luggage and groceries. The kitchen stove has 4 burners, and there is an oven; anyone who has looked into cooking facilities for a Paris visit will understand that this is a bonus, indeed. The views from the flat are largely of garrets, windows, mansard roofs, and a few courtyard spaces. This is particularly beautiful as one feels in the heart of things, and the northern/southern exposures provide light from sunrise to sunset. Ms. Comolli also has a nice radio, CD player and speakers there, so bring along some Edith Piaf - sounds corny, I know, but for a tourist truly it's heaven! My husband and I are looking forward to our time there, absolutely.

  • We had the most wonderful time in Paris - the apartment was perfect for 2 adults and 2 children, plenty of light and space and very clean and it was wonderful to have a balcony with views. Very well located for everything, the Metro, supermarkets, bakerys, restaurants and of course the Luxembourg Gardens. We walked just about everywhere, including the Lourve and the Seine River. There are maps and information booklets on shopping and eating out in the apartment. It was wonderful to be in an area that wasn't touristy, for a week we felt like we were living in Paris. Highly recommended.

  • Laura is a great hostess, and her flat is superbly located and appointed. We stayed a week over Christmas and found the convenience of her location wonderful. Close to everything you would want to see in Paris, we were very happy with the accomodations. I would not hesitate to rent her apartment again.

  • This is the fourth flat we have rented in Paris in the past few years and by far the best.It is bright and airy and well equipped. The rooms are all a really good size and the kitchen is very well equipped.It is only a couple of minutes walk from the RER at Port Royal that goes to Aeroport Charles de Gaulle and buses run from near the front door. The are two small supermarkets very close to the flat and a larger Franprix only just down the street.There is a boulangerie just round the corner. The Jardin de Lexembourg is just 5 mins walk and it is a great place to walk in or just watch the world go by. We were there in November and even then it is possible to find a seat and sit in the sun. Laura keeps the flat to a high standard and there is even a laptop with internet provided if you want to reach the rest of the world.

  • My husband and I spent a glorious month in Paris staying at Laura’a apartment, situated next to the Luxembourg Gardens and within walking distance of the Pantheon, Montparnasse, St Germain, Jardin des Plantes, and the busy shopping areas of Blvd. Raspail and Rue de Rennes. The apartment was very spacious, quiet and complete with everything one would need. Situated on the 4th floor of an elevator building, with windows on both its north and southern exposure allowed bright sunshine to stream through the apartment on most of those balmy October afternoons. At the hint of cold, the heating system worked efficiently. We felt at home immediately, being able to cook, relax and plan our daily excursions. It felt like a real neighborhood, away from most of the tourist spots, but within close proximity to everything. We found some wonderful restaurants along Rue Saint Jacques, Blvd. Montparnasse, Rue Vavin, and round the Luxembourg Gardens. The laptop was a great addition and was useful in helping us organize our days and travel plans. The fresh food market on Blvd. Port Royal was friendly and full of seasonal fruits and veg as well as game and all kinds of cheese. There is also a wonderful boucherie just off Rue St. Jacques and Blvd. Port Royal as well as Rue Val de Grace. Laura was very helpful and unintrusive. We would definitely like to stay again! Thanks.

  • Laura's apartment in Paris is such a welcome departure from staying in a hotel - especially with two 12 year olds. The apartment is clean, spacious and airy with French Doors supplying cooling breezes throughout our stay. Our children felt immediately at home and each had their own room in which to sleep. The location is so convenient to many places of interest and yet we didn't feel crowded with tourists. There is a little grocery store around the corner that stays open late and a delicious coffee bar right across the street. Laura is a gracious and accommodating hostess. This was the first time we chose to rent an apartment instead of a hotel and we are very happy with our choice. The Davis Family

  • My sister and I spent about 2 weeks at Laura's apartment in Paris and we highly recommend it! The apartment is large with multiple rooms including a well equipped kitchen. It is full of sunlight and has many french doors which allow for a nice cross breeze. The location is excellent. It is close to the metro stops but many sights are within walking distance. We took a stroll our first day out and with no destination in mind ended up at the Seine looking across at the Louvre. Didn't take long at all. The Latin quarter is the best. Within minutes you are in the midst of all the activity and energy of the area. Oh...having a computer to use in the apartment was really great. We didn't have to lug our own laptops or go to a cyber cafe. There are so many wonderful things about staying in an apartment. (We loved bringing home baguettes and wine.) I can't imagine staying in a hotel again. Lastly, Laura is really a wonderful person. You can be assured that you are dealing with someone who is trustworthy and honest. I hope I can go back to Paris (a fantastic city by the way) and I will definitely stay in Laura's apartment. Sincerely, Rose Mary

  • 04/12/07 We stayed in this lovely apartment for ten beautiful days with our two boys this spring. It was spacious, clean and close to everything. Luxemburg Gardens were particularly handy for the kids to run around in. Your next to the metro that can bring you to and from the airport as well as all over Paris. There is a grocery store steps away. The kitchen was a blessing on those days when the kids wanted just a little something. Best of all, Laura was absolutely charming. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great place to stay at a reasonable price. I can't wait to go back! Sofia Wright, NY,NY

  • Our family of four found this apartment to be perfectly located and equipped for our two week stay in Paris. Location was perfect for walking everywhere, and this area is the perfect area to stay while visiting Paris. Grocery store and bakery just around the corner, and the computer in the apartment kept us connected to everything happening back home. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to experience Parisian life.

  • Perfectly located in a great neighborhood, right across from Luxembourg Gardens. Convenient to metro and bus lines, although walking is the best way to get around. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and quiet, with everything we needed. Many interesting restaurants in the area and a Kayser bakery on Rue d'Assas!
