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.

Place des Vosges

The famous square where used to live the writer Victor Hugo, author of "The huntchback of Notre-Dame". Its house can be visited.

Owner's Map of Paris Arrondissement 4

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.

    • It was our first time in Paris so ease of getting to all the sights, plus a real "Paris ambience" was essential to us, and the Marais fit that bill. Having "all the amenities of home" was important too, as of course was cost. We narrowed our search to two or three places and it was the warm, positive reviews of Didier and how helpful he had been to all his tenants that made our final decision.......and we weren't disappointed. He was never impatient with our many e-mail questions during trip planning, and he was always concerned during our stay that the apartment be in the best possible condition. But most of all, he became our friend! We are already thinking of when our next trip to Paris will be, and there is no question of where we will stay our who our host will be. It was the best thing to come home each night to such a cozy, comfortable place, and to know that we were so well taken care of! Merci, Didier, pour tout!

      Dear Didier Your apartment was a wonderful place to stay during our trip to Paris. It was very well equiped and centrally located. We were able to reach fantastic restaurants by foot and it was easy to get to and from the Gare du Nord. Thank you very much for everything, including your warm welcome and for reserving Georges Restaurant for us (it was very good and worth every penny!) Kind regards Denise & Edward

    • My wife and I stayed here for a weekend in Oct 09 and truly enjoyed the experience. The apartment is in a wonderful location and is equiped with all the imenities we required plus a number of bonus perks that were really nice. We found the Paris Little Black Book guide very useful along with the corkscrew:). Didier proved to be a joy to work with and the instructions he provided were spot on, making our arrival, stay and departure a breeze. We will definitely try to stay here again upon our next trip to Paris (hopefully, soon!).

      Hi Didier – We did indeed make it home safely. Thank you so much for accommodating us during our stay. The apartment was wonderful and we had an amazing time in your lovely city (even though we almost died several times on the bikes :-). Good luck to you with your business and your life – hopefully we will see you again on our next visit! Thanks – Nate

After a long day of sightseeing and travel outside the city, it was so nice to come "home" and to relax.For those who know VRBO is the only way to go. Merci beaucoup Didier."

      Bonjour Didier, We are very well and hope you and your family are enjoying the summer. My feedback of choosing your apartment is as follows: 1. The location--Marais area is where we wanted to be. It is close to everything (groceries, shopping) and especially the train, which meant we could travel anywhere in Paris quickly. 2. The pedestrian street was definitely what sold us. Hard to find in Paris. Your apartment was so quite and very, very safe yet just a short walk away from the Metro. 3. The price--you have one of the best prices considering you charge a small security deposit. Most other apartments I looked at were charging in excess of 500-100 euro for security deposit in addition to a 900-1200-- euro rental fee for the 1 week. 4. The ease of how we could pay you--very simple. Make a deposit on PayPal and we were booked. The rest was to come in cash. 5. Your personal service--very hard to find. We have travelled alot and it was such a pleasure to deal directly with you to address any questions and then to meet you in person and have you explain how everything in your apartment worked. The directions you provided to find your place were perfect. We have never had such an easy time flying into a major airport, catching a taxi and then arriving at our destination to unpack and then start touring Paris. WOW! There is alot to be said about this and the lack of stress. This is so valuable and greatly appreciated. 6. The equipment was an added bonus and not what sells us as we aren't there too often. However, with this said it definitely spoiled us and having the laptop was excellent. We used it daily to check the weather and we were able to communicate back home. As well, being able to make an international call was fantastic, as I was able to quickly call home. This is something we will miss in other rentals. 7. Your site on VRBO is a true and honest reflection of your apartment and what we could expect. No surprises and EXACTLY what the pictures looked like and all details EXACTLY what we had. Such a pleasure to actually receive what you paid for. John & I would love to rent from you again when back in Paris. Warm regards from Canada, Cindy & John

    • What a fabulous find this apartment turned out to be. Close to all amenities,handy to Metro, walking distance to Bastille and Marais area. The apartment itself was very comfortable, clean and well serviced. We had reservations about the sofa bed but they were quickly dispelled as it was very comfortable to sleep on. Didier was the perfect host and was more than helpful with any enquiries we had. Many thanks, we would return to Place de Vosges if we come back to Paris.

    • We stayed at the apartment for 6 nights in mid-July, 2009 and found that it met our needs very nicely. The location is literally 5 minutes walk to the metro station and to the Place des Vosges. It is also easy walking distance to Marais shopping and restaurants. It is on the ground floor of a very nice building, with a window looking out on an enclosed grass courtyard. It is extremely quiet at all hours. Although we did not cook much at the apartment because we wanted to go out, the kitchen is well-equipped. The bathroom is very nice and large by Paris standards. It was very useful to have the laptop computer at the apartment when we were there. Last but not least, Didier was extremely helpful.
