Wonderful holiday apartment

My husband and I stayed in this lovely place for two weeks and loved every minute. It is in an ideal location, and the apartment is exactly as pictured. It is on the first floor overlooking a small patio and is very quiet and peaceful. We were able to walk to all the major sights although the metro is nearby. Francoise and her husband live nearby and were most helpful. The apartment is attractive, well maintained and the small kitchenette is outfitted for cooking; however, there are many bakeries, cheese and wine shops, and grocery stores nearby for delicious take out foods. We would highly recommend this for a couple or a small family.

My husband and I and our two elementary-school-aged children spent a week in this lovely apartment in the heart of everything in Paris. Honestly, it was simply perfect. The apartment is in a lovely old building with big wooden doors that open into a passageway and then two courtyards: it was so quiet when we were in the apartment we couldn't believe that we were in the middle of a city. The apartment looks just as the photos show and it has everything you need--including a great library of Paris guidebooks,super-comfortable beds, great heat and an excellent shower. We were so happy there. Although the St Sulpice metro station is a block away, we walked mostly everywhere, which was a lovely way to spend our vacation with the kids: walking and eating. And we were within walking distance not only from some of the most famous monuments, museums and gardens in the world but also some of the most popular patisseries and chocolate-makers as well. I don't think our kids will ever forget the cakes from La Duree or the chocolate from Maison du Chocolat. Francoise was very responsive during the booking process, warm and welcoming on our arrival and had a typed list of suggestions regarding restaurants and supermarkets, and even helped us reserve a cab for 2:30 am when we had to leave. We highly recommend this property and hope very much to return very soon. Thank you, Francoise!

Exactly as advertised Plus! David and Francoise are marvelously organized, making our stay very easy. Our questions were answered promptly and their input was helpful. Even the loan of a Mac plug when mine burned out! The location is within walking distance of everything we wanted to do and it felt like coming home each evening.

The place is excelent located and has all the amenities needed. Dish washer, kitchen, etc in excelent conditions. We expend a week with our two kids and were very confortable. The house owner was helpful, responded all the emails during the booking process and the instructions were clear. She will give you guidence if needed or give you privacy. The place is on the plant floor and very silent.

Perfect Week in Paris

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in this perfect apartment. It was very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The weather was cold and it was a warm haven to return to every day. It suited all our needs. The multiple windows allowed us to watch the snow from out warm perch inside. The ground floor unit allowed easy access in and out. The location was perfect and close to great restaurants and the metro. We plan to return soon.

The ONLY place I will stay when I come back to Paris!!!

Rant and rave review!!!! We stayed here for 7 nights (husband, me, 2-year-old, and nanny), this past November 2010. The location is spectacular - skipping distance to 3 METRO stops and walkable to all the wonders of St. Germain and Quartier Latin. We even walked to the Louvre and Notre Dame! There are millions of restaurants and shops within reach. The beauty of Paris, in my opinion, is being able to "get lost" on a street, and discover delicious restaurants and shops. This apartment is located smack dab in my favorite - the 6th...and yet is SO close to the hustle and bustle of the young 5th. I am in love with Paris and I SO wanted my family to love it as much as me, and this apartment accomplished that mission. (There is even a cute toy store walking distance!!!). The location is hard to compete with, and the security was even more incredible. This beautiful apartment is located in an old theatre, inside some beautiful shops (Longchamps - yay!). It is carefully guarded and we felt incredibly safe there. The condo is in an old, historically magnificent building. Yet, the inside was updated with great fixtures and loving touches, and really met my high standards. (We are traveling with a 2-year old!) The condo was perfect for a family. Our little toddler had a lot of space to run around in. The kitchenette was fully equipped, with dishwasher and fridge. There was a washer and dryer. It was quaint and just perfect for our stay. In addition, the owners were incredibly accommodating and nice. They live nearby, and could answer all questions. This was my 7th trip to Paris and I have stayed in many, many hotels and apartments. This one was my absolute favorite. Thank you, Francoise! You have made our trip incredibly memorable. I promise you, we shall return one day. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed for 4 nights in September and it's in a great spot for visiting Paris and the apartment and has all the mod cons. I think that the apartment was good value, especially for Paris, but i would not recommend it simply because it was just too dark, even with the big windows it felt as though there was no natural light :-( I suggest you take the recommendations that Francoise & David (lovely owners) give you in regards to local restaurants because there's some shockers nearby!

We stayed here June 19 - 26, 2010. We loved the apartment. It was plenty big enough for our party of 4 - myself, my sister, and my 2 grown daughters. It is nicely decorated & very centrally located. The metro is less than a block away. Sights, grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping all located around the apartment. We felt like Parisians having our own little apartment to come home to every night. Thank you so much, Francoise. You were a wonderful hostess.

Our family of 3 stayed at David and Francoise's apt. for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. It was in a great location, Very central to the metro. Sites, restaurants, grocery stores are also nearby. The apt. was comfortable and quiet even though there is construction at a nearby bldg. We felt safe walking the streets at night. Paris is a magical city--and this apt. is icing on the cake.

We were fortunate to get to stay in Francoise and David's ground floor St Germain apartment for the month of February. Paris with snow was a new and wonderful experience! The location of the apartment is perfect as it is located at a 6 point circle inviting you to pick a different direction to explore each morning. Everything in the city of lights is within walking distance from this location although the neighborhood itself is my absolute favorite! The apartment was perfect for us .. comfortable beds, natural light, hot water and great water pressure, wifi, telephone, washer/dryer, security, ground floor access, gracious hosts, modern amenities as well as historical architectural features. We will return to this property again and again! We were a group of 3 generations of women 70something 50something and 20somethings and the apartment/space appealed to all of us!
