Our first booking with this group and all as advertised and super simple to conduct business and the one small lack in apartment was remedied immediately ( with entreaty to please advise, as they do not realize small items have gone missing unless client reveals) in this case it was a bread knife....perhaps not essential in other locations but a MUST in Paris !

Authentic Paris

Date of Stay: 03/20/12 Review Submitted: 04/09/12

My husband and I just spent 8 delightful days in Paris. We chose to stay in an apartment rather than an hotel for 2 reasons. 1. We thought it would provide a more authentic Parisienne experience and 2. I had stayed at another "Our Home in Paris" apartment and knew the service, quality, and property would match the on-line description perfectly. We chose Charlemagne for its convenient location, amenities, and immaculate, light-flooded interior. This apartment was a joy to come home to after a day filled with walking, touring, visits to museums etc. We had unusually mild March temperatures so we would open the sun-filled windows, enjoy some wine and cheese and relax until we headed out for dinner. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a good nights sleep. We always woke energized for the next days activities. If you enjoy reading in bed you'll find the lighting options ideal! There are boulangeries/patisseries a few steps away offering wonderful breakfast options to start your day. Our concierges were attentive and quick to respond to questions we had about ATM locations, restaurant suggestions, travel, and housekeeping. We also took advantage of their limo service from CDG airport. An ideal way to start and end our stay. We used the metro as much as possible and Charlemagnes' location puts you a mere block or 2 from 2 major lines. You are in the heart of a residential neighborhood but only a few steps from an array of restaurants (including a charming bistro downstairs), shops, historical sites, Ile Saint Louis, and more. Staying in the apartment puts you in touch with the everyday pace of Parisienne life....and that's a wonderful thing!

We had the best time staying in the Charlemagne in the Marais district. The apartment was well appointed and convenient to the metro, buses and the Seine. The concierge, chauffeur services, etc were all exceptionally professional and the information that was provided about restaurants, patisseries, things to do to get oriented, etc were all useful. We can't wait to return! Thanks so much!

From the moment we arrived at the Airport in Paris and met our wonderful driver, to arriving in the Marais and meeting Marc, the weariness of the flight lifted as we stepped into our clean, beautifully appointed, quiet apartment. It had everything we needed and if there was something missing all we needed to do was to call. The neighborhood was wonderful with great shopping , amazing food and close to everything including the St. Paul Metro stop to make our daily excursions seamless and easy. We hope to return soon and have many wonderful memories in the meantime. Jim and his staff have attended to every detail--providing the perfect way to relax and enjoy Paris!

Great Apartment in a Great Area

We stayed at 16 Rue Charlemagne the last week of August, 2011, and it was a great choice. Having never rented a Paris vacation rental before, I was nervous about doing business with someone overseas, especially given the large cash deposits and cash payments many other Paris vacation rentals demanded. OurHomeinParis was a much better choice for us. The company is based in the U.S., accepts credit cards, and was a much easier and convenient business to deal with if your an American in Paris. The apartment was great, exactly as described. It was perfect for a couple. It was clean, well stocked, and the Marais neighborhood is great - convenient to the Metro and any attraction in Paris. The personal concierge, Marc, was terrific. He is in Paris and accessible a phone call away. We were corresponding with him well in advance of our vacation and got us reservations at a very popular restaurant that is hard to get in. We cannot wait to get back to Paris and would definitely use OurHomeinParis.com again.

We have stayed here twice now, our last time was back in July 2011. Our second time was just as wonderful as the first time, if not more since we knew what to expect and where we would be and we didn't have to be nervous. Jim and his staff were just as wonderful as the first time. When we got to the studio Marc was waiting for us, when he handed us the keys and said "welcome back home," it was really heartwarming. The studio was just as nice and clean as the year before. I'm planning on taking my granddaughter this spring. My husband and I will go back this summer and we're looking forward to dealing with Jim and his staff again.

Amazing, charming and romantic! This was my first time in Paris and what a wonderful place for our honeymoon. From booking to departure this studio was the best choice. Location fantastic steps away from the Metro, Food store, and Restaurants not to mention the view. Mathias was fabulous, his recommendations of restaurants and river cruise was spot on. He made our stay even more enjoyable than we ever could have imagined. The apartment was just the right size for two. Kitchen and bathroom updated beautifully even a towel warmer. Washer and dryer a big plus. Also the building has an elevator small but better than walking up 4 floors at the end of a long day. This unit has absolutely nothing missing. Thank you all so very much for everything Audey, Rick, Jim, and most of all Mathias. We hope to return very soon

Ideal home away from home

Guest: Jeannine (South Carolina, USA)
Date of Stay: 08/07/10 Review Submitted: 01/13/11

We stayed in this cozy studio for 2 weeks in August, enjoyed every minute of it. We loved it so much that we have booked this same studio again for 17 days in July this year. It truly is the perfect location with the Metro on the left and bus stop on the right both right outisde of your back entrance. Metro is fun and safe, but if you take Bus 69 you get to see so much more, it is like a free sightseeing tour. You can also walk to most of the major sights. And of course, the bakeries, three of them within a couple minutes of each other, olala! Also groceries and restaurants. We were nervous about renting an apartment, but dealing with Jim and his staff took all the fears away. We missed our flight to Paris because of bad weather, it was middle of the night in Paris and could not warn the concierge and the driver. I called Audey in Atlanta and he took care of it all. When we got there our driver was waiting and at the studio Mathias was waiting to welcome us. Having the concierge service is great, all you have to do is pick up the phone and push one button for either Marc or Mathias. We can't wait to get back to our home away from home and visit that most beautiful city again.

My wife and I stayed here for 8 days on our honeymoon. It's a lovely little apartment, ideally situated for many of the key sites and destinations of Paris (many are within walking distance, and the Metro stop is right outside the back door). Everything is functional and comfortable, and much nicer than a hotel room! Everyone we dealt with (Jim, Audey, Matthias, and Victor) were extremely courteous, helpful and professional, and Jim dealt with the one issue we had in a prompt and gracious manner.

Studio Charlemagne is a sweet & cozy apartment; I actually think it is much prettier in person w/it's soft hues & beautiful lighting - just perfect for a couple. The view both day & night was really beautiful. There is even a lovely wine bar w/very friendly staff on the 1st floor - which is really fun to 'come home to' after a long day on your feet. You can leave your Paris books at home; there is a little library of travel bks in the apt. The washer/dryer worked great for me as I was living out of one carry on for a week in Europe! What stands out the most though would be Jim's staff. From booking (Audey) to departure; everyone was SO helpful (we were sorta nervous Paris 1st timers) Marc was fantastic. Hope to be back sooner than later.

Thank you for the most amazing time spent in your phenomenal apartment! We were totally blown away by how cleverly and tastefully it’s been done up and how amazingly situated it is. Looking out on the city and the Paris rooftops from the apartment was as thrilling as seeing the sights of the city itself. We actually looked forward to getting back to the apartment each day. The interior and the views through the open windows with the privacy afforded by being on the upper floors make this the most charming and exotic apartment we’ve ever stayed in. This is without a doubt our location of choice for our foreign travels.

I've stayed two times at Jim's Charlemagne apartment, and cannot say enough about how wonderful it is in terms of comfort, cleanliness, convenience. While it's very close to great shopping and transportation, the apartment itself is very quiet. The hotel staff that helps you with check-in, restaurant reservations, airport taxis and luggage storage if needed are terrific as well. Highly recommend!

We have really enjoyied our stay here, as we always do in Paris. Apartment Charlemagne is a wonderfully set up apartment we have not wanted for very much. Charlemagne’s view down to the river is very nice and a surprise is waking up to the sounds of birds in the morning, something we have not experienced before in central Paris. The hotel staff have been very helpful and pleasant to deal with, a pleasure being met at the airport by the hotel staff and well worth the convenience (cf a Taxi). I have no hesitation in recommending Charlemagne to others.

We also had the chance to stay in a holtel but really felt the best time was in the apartment. It had wonderful views, easy to walk to the Metro. Great cafes around the corner. I also got to discover Monoprix which was a blast. This is definitely the way to live and stay in Paris. Everything we needed was in the apartment. The internet connection was really helpful to do research of sites and eateries. Therw is nothing that I would change except to be able to stay longer!

I think we fell in love with 16 Rue Charlemagne before even seeing the apartment. The great double doors protecting the courtyard from the street, the small lighted doorway inside that must have, at one time, contained a concierge, were essentially Parisian. The well-worn wooden stairway that spiralled up to the fourth floor had a feeling of history about it, and a palpable sense of place. One could imagine Commisaire Maigret, complete with trilby and pipe, with Lucas in tow, padding softly upwards.When we opened the door to the apartment proper, we were met with a sense of luminescence and space that made the room appear much larger than it was. The evening sun filled the room through the long french windows, making the paintings on the walls glow with their own life. The tiny, perfectly equipped kitchenette and the bright and spotless bathroom completed this gem.The view from the windows is of Paris rooftops, at once urban and romantic, architectural and whimsical. We enjoyed it most in the evenings as the blue of the dusk deepened and the lights began to come on in the neighbouring buildings. In the mornings, birds sang lustily on the rooftops (in February!) as early Parisians walked their dogs and the smell of coffee rose from Le Framboiserie (the café on the ground floor).It’s a short walk to Notre Dame and back, one our six-year-old managed easily. Rue de Rivoli is two streets over. The Île St Louis and the Île de la Cité, the oldest parts of Paris, are on the doorstep. Go through the courtyard and out onto the Rue St Antoine and there’s a supermarket, a patisserie, a wine merchant, and a gourmet shop all strung along. That’s not to mention the fruit and vegetables, the cafés, the super crêpe stall and the restaurants within reach. The St Paul metro stop is just there too.If, no, when we return to Paris, we’ll not be looking further than this apartment: homely yet chic, romantic yet practical, escapist yet central, and très, très parisien.

Studio Charlemagne was absolutely wonderful! We stayed there from April 16-21, 2008 and could not have been happier with the accommodations. This a private apartment in a perfect location in Paris, located on a quiet and picturesque street. Yet what is so special is that you walk up the street a short distance in any direction and turn the corner, and you are in the midst of many restaurants and shops! It is close to two metros for ease in getting-around, and within comfortable walking distance to the beautiful Seine, Opera Bastille and the lovely Isle de Saint-Louis area. The studio itself is so much larger than a plain hotel room, and is very well appointed. It is a combined bedroom/sitting room, nicely designed and furnished, with a separate kitchen and bathroom, all very nicely updated. We were so happy to have it to come back to each day, because it was so comfortable! The lift was a big plus, as the stairs were being renovated (no noise, no smell, no problem.) Though this is a private property, all dealings are through the Hotel Saint-Louis Marais, located nearby. The staff was friendly, accommodating, charming and, well...classy. We will never stay anywhere else in Paris!

My husband and I stayed at the apartment on Rue Charlemagne the week of March 3rd 2008. It was simply lovely! Clean, modern, cozy, with a view of the Seine on a quiet street. The location was ideal for us and the team at the Hotel St. Louis Marais were truly considerate and totally helpful. Jean Michel met us at the airport with croissants and bottled water, helped us up to our flat (via lift!) and was extremely helpful with all details and questions. It was also great to have a cleaning person come in halfway thru our stay (included). The DSL was a plus too as was the flat screen TV. The Queen bed was comfy and cozy and much needed after hours of walking the streets of Paris (and climbing up historic sites!). We'd go back in a flash if we could. I couldn't recommend it more highly. Jim, you have a wonderful team taking care of your Paris home. Manuela and Ayman are first rate!

We had a wonderful stay recently in the lovely studio apartment on Rue Charlemagne. We are repeat customers, but this was the first time we had stayed in this location and were so pleased. The staff at the Hôtel Saint Louis Marais took great care of us. Upon check-in, someone took us to the apartment and helped us get settled. They also assisted us with transportation to the airport when it was time to go home. The studio is so light and spacious and has a fabulous view of a quiet street. With amenities like air conditioning, a washer, and a bathtub you feel right at home. There is a café right downstairs for a quick breakfast or an apéritif after a long day. Everything you need is less than five minutes away. The Metro St Paul is on the Number 1 line so you can be at the Louvre or the Rue de Rivoli in a snap. There are food markets, wine shops, bakeries, and numerous cafes right at your fingertips. Our two favorite photography museums, the Hotel Sully and La Maison Européean de la Photographie, are right around the corner. We even found a little absinthe shop and a great falafel stand recommended by Lenny Kravitz. The Marais truly has everything.

The apartment was perfect. It actually exceeded our expectations. It looked even better than what the pictures indicated. It was a little smaller than we thought, but who cares as it was just my wife and I. It was the perfect place for our honeymoon. And the staff at the hotel was very friendly, helpful and accommodating, just as we were told. One very minor problem is that we had difficulty figuring out how to use the washer/dryer, particularly the drying part. We could not find an English version of the owner's manual. We eventually figured it out after trial and error, but the controls were a bit confusing. Paris overall was lovely, and we found the Marais to be very safe, charming, pretty, and cultural. We'll certainly be back one day. I would CERTAINLY recommend this unit to any couple visiting Paris.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the apartment. Everything was exactly as advertised and pictured. All of the updated modern appliances, furniture, and bathroom facilities were fantastic. The heat this summer was unbearable, so having air condiditoning was a major plus. In addition, having the support of the concierge at Hotel Saint Louis is a great bonus for first time visitors. The location was ideal;short walk to the restaurants, metro, Marais shops, wine shops, etc. Area was very safe. I even went out late at night walking alone over to the Ile de St. Louis. I plan to stay again at the apartment the next time I am in Paris.

We had a great time in this apt. Everything was new and sparkling, ac a godsend in summer heat. The hotel hosts could not have been more accommodating. Metro is a close 1 block away and location is easy walk to Ile Cite. Highly recommend the airport service-they removed our luggage while we toured the Louvre, all waiting in the car at departure time. Enjoy!

Fabulous apartment! Beautifully appointed, small but doesn't feel claustro - it's very cleverly laid out, clean and bright. Great location, great walks in every direction. Highly recommended.

I spent 6 wks. in Apr/May 2006 in this well- appointed studio. Here is what I found: a bright, cheery space achieved through fresh off-white paint, generous lighting, the creative use of mirrors, and large windows which also offered a pleasant street view...a small efficient kitchen complete with ample counter space and a good fridge which allowed me to frequently "cook in"...an easy-to-use, oh-so-convenient washer/dryer combo...a clean modern bathroom with vanity counter space and excellent shower head in the glass-partitioned tub/shower (loved the instant, plentiful hot water)...a sitting area w/ comfortable loveseat...a desk/bookshelf niche worked especially well for time on my computer (the WI-FI connection was terrific) and for stashing my paraphenalia...lots of storage space (incl. under the raised-platform bed, useful for storing luggage out of sight). And the Le Marais location just off the main street of Rue St. Antoine was central and lively with many nearby boulangeries, cafes, and shops, the G20 and Monoprix supermarches, metro stop St. Paul, and but a block from the Seine and a short walk to the Bastille and the best Sunday open-air marche in Paris. Assistance for solving problems or answering questions by the friendly staff at the nearby Hotel St. Louis-Marais was most helpful.
