This apartment was perfect for the two of us. Le Marais is a great district; fun, great food/shopping and centrally located. The street is convenient; very close to everything and at the same time it is very peaceful and quiet. The apartment is very nice and well kept on the inside; bright, clean and has every amenity. Florence is a terrific host; she lives nearby and truly makes herself available to her guests. We had a wonderful trip and absolutely loved our stay at ParisCosyCorner.

Well, I think writing reviews of VRBO's is a very important duty... and I couldn't be happier to write one for this lovely apartment in the Marais. We are a family of three and the apartment accomodated us beautifully. The bed was fantastic - comfortable and lovely linens. Our daughter also reported the pull out couch was perfect (which is saying a lot for a pull out couch!). Florence made our stay easy and stress-free. We have also decided that the Marais is the BEST location to stay in Paris with many attractions within walking distance. This apartment is also located on a very quiet street and opens up onto a lovely courtyard. We will recommend this apartment to friends and definitely plan on returning. Thanks, Florence!

3 Adults, 1 Baby and a Fabulous Paris Apartment!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this apartment. This IS our new home in Paris! We were 3 adults and a 12 month old baby. We arrived on a very cold and rainy November day after a long flight looking forward to a nice shower and rest. We got into our apartment without any waiting or complications as our host had given us the entry code to the courtyard and the hidden key location to the apartment door prior to our leaving home. We were very pleased to find the apartment warm, clean, spacious and comfortable. We felt at home immediately! Once there we used the free local phone to call our host who then met us within the hour to show us how to use the TV, free wireless internet, heaters, etc. She also took our credit card for the remaining 1/2 of our payment. It was all very convenient, pleasant and fast…we were as good as home! Things We Loved: We used credit cards for BOTH halves of our payment. (Some owners only take cash…Bad idea…most ATMs won’t let you take this much cash at one time.) The apartment is near to all major sites and Saint Paul METRO station! FAST and FREE wireless internet…I got around 4,000 mbps…FAST! Comfy Queen Bed and fold-out couch bed; Radiator heating; Plenty of quilts and pillows; Lots of hot water that never ran out; Great shower pressure; Well stocked kitchen with condiments; cooking oils/spices and gear; Even a welcome bottle of wine and nice bath soaps, shampoo, towels and robes on arrival! Ground Floor - No Stairs! (Only 2 steps on porch.) International TV with 5 English language stations (BBC World News, Sky News, CNN, CNBC, France 24 Anglais – English language news from France.) Very nice clothes washer and dryer…A life saver! Dozens of English language travel books and maps. CD player with wonderful French language selections (Edith Piaff etc.) Apartment was VERY quiet and safe as it was in a private gated courtyard. The windows opened on the street but outer shutters could be locked for added security. Also, our host provided a crib and highchair free of charge for our baby AND a wonderful birthday gift. (Our son turned 1 in Paris!) AND...we called several times with questions and always got a very prompt and cheerful response. In fact the refrigerator failed while we were there and our host immediately replaced it with a brand new one! I call that service! I'm a detail freak and searched endlessly on the internet for this apartment. If you're 2 or a cozy 3 or close 4 this is your apartment!

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.
