From the living room and one of the bedrooms that are accessed off the balcony, enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the sunset! (See the floor plan.)
Wake up to coffee and croissants which you can prepare yourself in the apartment's new kitchen or get from the downstairs patisserie; gourmet meals are just a step away with the convenience of the gourmet caterer located downstairs. Nearby shops are located within walking distance giving you the atmosphere of a local village.
You can easily walk to the picturesque rue Mouffetard street market where you will find great shopping, restaurants and cafes.

Great apartment!

My friend and I stayed at this apartment and found it to be cozy and very comfortable. The apartment was absolutely well decorated and very clean. It was very comfortable for the 2 of us who stayed and each enjoyed their own room while we could share an apartment for hanging out. Much easier than a hotel with 2 different rooms. I found the owner to be more than helpful which really made a big difference and everything well organized for staying in Paris and the neighborhood. We shopped in Paris and did eat out alot but the apartment would definitely have worked if we wanted to have friends over who live in Paris. Thank you it was a great stay!

This apartment is perfect. The size is quite nice for Paris and the location couldn't be better. The Luxembourg Gardens and the metro are only a block away. There are several very good restaurants within a couple blocks and the shopping nearby (just to the other side of the Gardens) was a lot of fun. I have to say the coffee in the apartment was one of my favorite things and I loved the individual serving brewer. I returned home and had to go buy one myself. Can't say enough good things about this apt. Would love to stay hear on my next trip.

A Perfect Place to Stay

I have visited Paris a dozen times, and this apartment was the best place that I have ever stayed. It was located close enough to the metro to allow for site-seeing, but was in a quiet neighborhood. It is a quick walk to the Jardin du Luxemborg, and a pleasant walk to St Germain des Pres or to the Latin Quarter. It was quite pleasant to be able to sit back in the evening, open the windows and relax. The apartment had everything, including a washing machine and a full kitchen. It was located near shops and restaurants, and Christine has written up a very detailed guide which helped us choose which of the many restaurants we wanted to eat at. The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated; the photos on the website are accurate but don't do the apartment justice once you walk inside. I would highly recommend this apartment to any of my friends or family, or to anyone looking for a little bit of space in a beautiful apartment. Thank you Christine for making your lovely home available.

An Amazing Apartment

What a wonderful place to rest after a long day in Paris. The apartment is beautiful and exactly as described. The location could not be better - there's a deli downstairs, a wine shop to the left, a cafe to the right, a grocery store and a patisserie around the corner, a coffee shop down the street and just two blocks from the Metro. It's also close enough to walk to many of the attractions in central Paris. It sits between two major streets, yet is quiet and cozy. It truly is everything you could ask for - I hope to be able to return!

A Girls Getaway to Paris

Four of us (2 mothers and 2 daughters) had a wonderful one week getaway to Paris and staying at this apartment really made the trip. The location was perfect - a close walk to many of the sites we wanted to visit as well as to great parks, shopping and an abundance of restaurants, bakeries and delicious food. We loved the neighborhood and were comfortable walking around until quite late at night. The proximity to the metro was a real plus. The apartment had all of the conveniences we needed and more (internet, phone, kitchen, espresso, bath). I hope to return sometime!!

My girlfriend and our teenage daughters stayed here for a week while exploring Paris and had a fabulous time. It is close enough to the touristy areas to walk but far enough away that it is in a real neighborhood. It was very convenient for the metro and on the direct line to the airport. The apartment is beautiful and has a comfortable Paris feel. Enjoy the Luxembourg Gardens! This will be my first choice place to stay when I return.

Vacationing in Paris and Enjoying the French Open

My husband and I, along with another couple traveled to Paris for a great vacation and to enjoy the French Open. This apartment was perfect for us. Both rooms were set up with Queen beds which was great. We enjoyed being in a quiet area away from the busy tourist districts. We enjoyed being able to walk to great restaurants. Having a mini-market and bakery were right across the street from the apartment was very convenient. We utilized all of the apartment amentities- cable tv, fully equipped kitchen, high speed internet and the travel guide books. We walked and took the metro (utilized the 5 day metro pass) everywhere. I highly recommend Paris in the springtime and this apartment.

Christine: Just thought I would drop you a line and let you know that our trip to France has been wonderful. We have found it to be a charming country with beautiful countryside, exquisite mediaeval towns and for the most part, great food - we are all hooked on those baguettes. Paris was indeed highlight right from the airport pick-up. Benoit was really helpful with the airport pick-up and checking us in. The apartment was wonderful. spacious enough for 4 adults without getting on top of each other and such a great location - we walked almost everywhere. We soon had a handle on the shops in the area to pick up our breakfast supplies. Thanks for everything, Christine and friends.

A wonderful home-base for a week in Paris!

This was our first time using VRBO and our first visit to Paris. We (2 adults + 11 yr old) were completely satisfied with the apartment. Christine, the owner, lives in Palo Alto and was a pleasure to deal with. All communications were prompt and precise. The apartment is just as described on the site and in prior reviews, very comfortable, very clean, nicely equipped, bright, inviting and well located. (The welcoming bottle of wine and small box of chocolates were a very nice touch.) Luxembourg Garden is just a block away. Les Papilles restaurant nearby was super (but could only get in for lunch--reserve early if you want dinner). Stops for the RER and buses are very convenient, and it's an easy 0.75mi stroll along Rue St Jacques to the Seine and Notre Dame. Christine has a great binder describing the apartment, appliances, neighborhood resources, restaurants, emergency numbers, etc. Xavier, her local representative, picked us up at the airport, and explained things at the apartment as well, making arrival painless; we took advantage of arranging a return to the airport with him, and he was there promptly for us at 6am the morning of our departure. Simply put, we have no qualms in recommending this property to others, including friends or family, and certainly hope to return again someday ourselves.

We have just returned from an absolutely heavenly holiday in beautiful Paris! Staying in Christine's lovely apartment felt truly like our home away from home and made it easy for us to imagine that we were living in Paris, not just visiting for a week. The apartment is just as charming as pictured: friendly and cheerful, full of light and air, comfortably furnished, clean and elegantly equipped. The beds and linens were wonderful, the showers were perfect (we never ran out of hot water), there were hairdryers, free long distance to the U.S., wifi, plenty of closet space to unpack clothes -- all that and a terrace! It was a pleasure to work with Christine on details prior to our trip and so nice to have the friendly and reliable help of Xavier and Benoit to assist us with transport to and from Charles de Gaulle airport. Just steps away from the Jardin de Luxembourg and every convenience right outside the door (pharmacie, patisserie, mini-markets, Ugo Traiteur (Italian catering), great restaurants) -- it is the perfect apartment! What a lovely place to come home to after a day in Paris. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful Paris home with us, Christine. We would love to stay here again!
