  • We would highly recommend staying at this apartment whenever visiting Paris. We stayed for our honeymoon for 9 nights and it was perfect. The apartment was beautiful with dark wood ceiling beams, comfortable bed, and modern kitchen and bathroom. The location in the Marais was amazing with bakeries, subway stops, great restaurants and boutiques all within a short walk. Florence was wonderful and went out of her way to help us make arrangements during a major labor strike. We can't thank you enough Florence for making our honeymoon so special. We plan on coming back some day!

  • Paris in the spring ... sigh .... well it was really like Paris in the summer with temperatures reaching 26C, bright sun and blue, blue sky. It was the perfect place to celebrate a 50th birthday. We absolutely loved and felt so at home in this bright, beautiful apartment in the Marais. The only disappointment was having to leave! Florence couldn't do more to make this apartment more lovely and comfortable. She has thought of everything - right down to providing umbrellas and a shopping bag on wheels. We really felt like we lived in Paris for 2 weeks. We would strongly recommend this apartment to our family and friends. There is a wonderful bakery right on the corner, at least 3 terrific open air markets within walking distance, highly recommended restaurants within blocks of the apartment, so many wonderful museums and shops and access to the subway and buses couldn't be easier. We would never stay in a hotel again! Thank you so much Florence for such a warm welcome and sincere kindness!

  • For our twenty fifth aniversary my husband and I decided to go on a grand tour of Europe. Our 8 night stay in this wonderful appartment was a highlight. The place is peaceful and wery well equipt. It is bright and airy and, although the owners had no, or at least little, influence over the weather we had sun the whole time. With the floor to ceiling windows and the white linen curtains the place was light a dream. We would deffinately stay there again if/when we next visit paris.

  • My wife Lois Padawer and I stayed in this beautiful apartment in March of 2007. The apartment combines modern luxuries (such as clothes washing machines and a highly functional, completely furnished kitchen) with Old World Style architecture and antique furniture. The platform bed is very comfortable and there is a comfortable sofabed as well. There is a pull-down table for meals and a study desk. The apartment faces a quiet street with little pedestrian or vehicular traffic. It is close to fantastic boutique shops and great restaurants. The owners, Florence and Jonathan, are extremely gracious hosts, kind and thoughtful. In addition, they have a great sense of humor, which was useful in coping with us as we presented them with an assortment of interesting challenges. They have spared no expense in the lavish way they have furnished this apartment. They care a lot about their guests and make themselves available to deal with any concerns or problems and to provide any assistance needed. I recommend this place highly.
