Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 4
Le Marais is one of the most beautiful and charming area of Paris, concentrating most of the oldest buildings in the city. This is also a great shopping area during the day, and nice spot to go out in the evening. Located in a pedestrian alley, the apartment is preserved from noise and cars and at the same time it is in the heart of historical Paris. I could not find a better place than this place!
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Quiet and secured place in a pedestrian alley, the location is really fantastic, and this is only 200 meters close from the famous Place des Vosges and Picasso museum. Also, the apartment is very convenient for everyday life with three small supermarkets nearby and a great open market on Sunday. When not cooking, many restaurants can be found 10 minutes walk away, around Place de la Bastille or Place de la République.
The famous square where used to live the writer Victor Hugo, author of "The huntchback of Notre-Dame". Its house can be visited.
Displayed inside are many paintings and objects describing the history of Paris
Great set of paintings and sculptures covering all periods (blue period, pink period, cubism...) of Picasso works
Huge and lively open market with French delicacies from all France, and also best quality of everyday life products.
Popular place hosting The museum of modern art and the famous restaurant "Georges" with a great view over Paris

I am the owner and work as software engineer. I love to travel in remote areas and visited many countries. I realised some documentaries (Afghanistan, Indonesia) that were shown in movie festivals. I am very sensitive to other culture and that's probably why i love to meet my guests and practice my English. It is always nice to meet people coming from all over the world.

Late November (Thanksgiving) stay

Review Submitted: 12/06/11
My husband, baby, and dog stayed at the apartment over the US Thanksgiving weekend and love it! It was conveniently located on the bottom floor which helped with our stroller. Once inside, it was quite quiet and cozy with everything we needed to feel at home. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was well equipped with an American sized refrigerator. The location was amazing and what we loved most of all. Supermarkets, bakeries, and a cheese shop were all within ~5 min walking distance. We never used the metro but rather walked everywhere during our stay. Although we walked a LOT, some much was within reasonable walking distance (Notre Dame, Champs Elysees, Louvre, etc). We did walk to the Eiffel Tower, but I recommend good walking shoes for that trip! We currently live in Europe and want to get back to Paris for another long weekend when time permits. We would be very happy staying in this property again.

My experience in Didier's apartment was nothing less than wonderful. For the past several years, I have been spending a few weeks during the fall in Paris and this stay was one of the best. The accommodations were great. For a single traveler, and even a couple, this is the perfect place. Reasonable rate, spectacular location, and the most hospitable host. The caretaker of the property and the tenants in the building are very friendly. Fantastic local cafes and restaurants, not to mention supermarkets, both large and small. Convenient Metro stops very near the apartment. Highly recommend!

It is hard to add anything to all of the fantastic reviews already placed for this rental property! From the very beginning, the landlord was extremely responsive, from my initial inquiry, to the barrage of emails I sent asking various questions about a hair dryer, how to make my deposit, changing the dates of the stay. Throughout it all, he replied almost immediately (within 24 hours for sure, more like 12 hours), and was very pleasant and helpful. The property itself was clean, well maintained and very well equipped (kitchen - microwave, refrigerator, stove, oven, washer/dryer; bathroom - with a hair dryer :D, large bath tub; entertainment center with flat panel tv, DVD player, nice speakers; laptop and wireless Internet for use with my iPad; fold out sofabed that was surprisingly (to me) very comfortable (the most comfortable sofabed I have ever slept on, actually was equivalent to a normal bed)). It is a studio, but had plenty of space for my wife and me, and compared to some other accommodations I have stayed at in Europe, this place was very spacious (particularly with the bed folded up). Oh yeah, and there are extra guidebooks and a little reading library there too! With regard to the location, as other reviewers have stated, the apartment door takes you to a courtyard area that is very quiet, and sheltered from major road/traffic noise. The neighborhood feels very safe, and walking distances to most places was quite reasonable. 5 minute walk from the front door to the subway, a reasonable walk to most places to visit in the la Marais area. We actually, walked home from the Louvre.... which was a bit far... but feasible... (probably will just take the metro next time!). Overall, this apartment was a fantastic place to stay, and when we come back to Paris (someday), we will certainly be looking to stay here again.

This apartment is so quiet and away from traffic and noise. You can even have the windows opened and still very quiet, nice surroundings and nice bathroom and bath tube. The area (4 arrondissement/Maris) is just so fantastic and there are so many nice bars, restaurants, market, shops, etc. However, the apartment is not very big when you have made the bed ready for two persons. But for sure we can recommend it and we would like to return to this apartment.

Dream-like holiday in Paris

I spent 2 weeks in Paris in February 2010 [I am writing this much later, but I somehow owe it], when I came for a series of performances at the Opera, TCE and Salle Pleyel. I digged out this cosy nice little place and found it as an almost perfect venue for just about everything it has to offer. The location was great, a few minutes of walk to Opera Bastille [and this proved a great asset when I discovered one evening that the performance was starting half an hour earlier than the usual hour]; Opera Garnier and the others easily reached by subway; in fact, just the whole Paris is at your feet and easily reachable. It was not difficult to come from the airport, although it took 2 changes on the way. The host was waiting us and was very nice about everything. The place is just big enough for one guy, a couple or a small family, with a large bed that can accomodate even 3 people, or at least 2 adults and one child. Inside it has just about everything you need: a fully equipped kitchen [with a lot of things that I never used], a large fridge with freezer, a large capacity washer/dryer and a very nice bathroom; for those who like it, ther is a full high quality home-theatre system, with a large LCD [lots of tv-stations], dvd-player and surround-audio; it also provides a good internet connection, which was extremely useful for some things we had to do during the stay. The heating was fine and the position makes it convenient and quiet, far from the street noises. There is also a mini-market close by, where you can buy what you want as food and house-ware. It is clean and easy to keep, so....what more can it be added? If I would want to find something less perfect, it would be the front door, that was not properly insulated [this may have changed in the meanwhile] and a strong flow of cold air was passing underneath it. It also proved little noise protection in case someone made a fuss outside. But........were I to come back if given a chance? Definitely YES!!!

This apartment is much larger than the average studio in Paris and is quite beautiful with an especially handsome bathroom. Out the very large windows is a small but lovely green space with trees, visited by absolutely no one except the large Wood Pigeons and the small Blackbirds--it's a tiny nature reserve. Even better for an older person with poor knees (i.e. me), the apartment is on the ground floor, so there are no steps at all--another Paris rarity. The building itself is sympathetic modern construction semi-connected to a much older building, which I believe is the 17th c. house of the Grand Veneur (hunting master) of the street name. The two buildings sort of surround a large courtyard (large enough for kids to play football despite the signs forbidding that, but no one seems to mind and the kids are very nice about it) and containing at the other end an extensive rose garden--almost as large and varied as the famous one at the Jardin des Plantes--it's an exceptionally nice, quiet place for a glass of wine in the evening (there is no traffic noise at all in this pedestrian area). The neighborhood has all the conveniences you need, including a large supermarket very close by--go out the coutryard's back entrance and it's right down the alley a hundred feet. For the bank and other things, go out the front entrance and there out on the Boulevard is everything you could possibly need. The Place des Vosges, one of Paris's most beautiful squares, is just two blocks away (out the back entrance again) for a nice place to dine or read on a shady bench or sit on the grass in the sun. Both the Place Bastille and Republique are easy walks with again all manner of shops, cafes, restaurants, and even the opera house (not to mention excellent Metro connections). But a lot is in walking distance; the Pompidou is only a few blocks west and the Carnavalet is even closer on very lively Rue des Bourgeois Francs, along with the rest of the trendy Marais. The cute "Village" of St. Paul is a couple of blocks further south (with an excellent English language bookstore if you need one--I did--I wanted to read Flaubert's Sentimental Education and got one there). Even the Seine is an easy walk, and I strolled down there and along the river every evening and most mornings too. So in case you haven't noticed, this is a rave review, and by the way, Didier is the perfect landlord--ready to help if needed, out of the way, when not. Thanks for eveyrthing, Didier!

My Lovely Apartment in Paris

Review Submitted: 07/11/11
I tell all my friends that Paris was my favorite part of 3 weeks in Europe and our Paris apartment was what made our stay there so fantastic. Didier was right there to welcome us and be sure we were all set up with the wi-fi and appliances. Being able to connect with family on the internet and the phone was just what we needed. The whole apartment was even more charming than the photos. There was everything we needed in the kitchen and having a bathtub to soak in was wonderful. Everyday after we got back from sightseeing, we picked up a few groceries at the corner market and relaxed, safe and sound in our quiet apartment. I loved having the security of 2 magnetic key access doors and the quiet enclosed garden setting. I only wish we could have stayed longer and the other apartments we stayed in were as wonderful as this one! Many, many thanks to our new friend, Didier!

My wife and I spent 5 nights at Didier's apartment in early June 2011. Easy walks to shopping, fresh croissants, restaurants, the subway(Metro) and many museums and streets to wander and cafes to watch the world go by. Paris is an amazing city and this apartment was perfect for our needs. Most comfortable sofa bed we've ever slept on. Didier even provided a laptop to search local attractions and lots of guidebooks and free VOIP phone calls to home. Totally enjoyed Le Petit Marche a local recommended restaurant and the Museum Carnavalet(a few blocks away) which had a strong focus on the history of Paris through the ages. This stay was our 10th VRBO experience and we've never been disappointed.

We stayed in this apartment for 10 days in May, 2011. It was in a fabulous neighborhood and in walking distance to so many sights. There are two metros nearby as well. The apartment is well appointed and very private. The windows overlook a small grassy area where no one can see in. After traveling for five weeks before arriving in Paris, it was great to have a small kitchen to cook some meals. There is also a washer/dryer in the apartment, which was very handy. It also has a computer with internet use. Didier, the owner, was very helpful with all of our questions. I would highly recommend staying in this very nice apartment.

Very well fitted out, conveniently located apartment - we had a lot of luggage and groound floor situation was helpful. Didier very good to deal with, and being able to use Paypal made the deposit payment easy. Apartment is very well equipped. Our favourite restaurant near by was Le Petit Marchais - have the grilled duck breast.
