Fabulous time in the Marais

Arrived here after 28 hours of travel and were very pleased with our accommodation. The narrow entrance and stairs, were initially a bit off putting however the actual apartment was delightful. It was very well equipped with everything we could have wanted. Television instructions would have been helpful as we couldn't get it to work at times. Other than this we had a fabulous stay and would recommend to anyone wanting a centrally located, reasonably priced (for Paris) apartment. After having previously stayed in the Latin Quarter we found the location so close to the metro at Hotel de Ville made it much easier to move around Paris.

My husband and I stayed for a week at Cecile's place. It was an amazing location, the bed is very very comfortable as well as all her amenities. So centrally located, that you can literally step outside your door and sit at many cafes. She makes it very easy, as she leaves you books, information on the area, and anything you would need and more! My husband and I use VRBO all the time, but we are definitely planning on going back to Paris again, and staying one of many of Cecile’s beautiful places. Highly recommend and so much better than staying at a hotel!

Perfect Place to Call Home in Paris!

My husband and I just spent 10 days in Paris to celebrate my 40th birthday. We stayed at Cecile's one bedroom Marais apartment. It was the perfect place to call home during our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom afforded long baths after long days walking the city streets. We loved the split level living - the comfort of the living space downstairs and the separate sleeping space upstairs. Cecile has impeccable taste. Nothing is over the top, but everything is clean, beautifully stylized and well thought-out. Thank you Cecile for the best birthday ever! We will be back. No question!

My wife and I stayed here about 4 years ago. I just came upon the link again and thought I should write a review. This apartment is very cozy, comfort, and quiet for it's busy location. Nice linens. Very clean. Never noticed a single neighbor. Super spot in the Marais and well situated for exploring on both banks. It was a real value for the price. We'd stay hear again. Great for 2 people.

Lovely Apartment, Wonderful Neighborhood!

Just returned from a lovely stay in Paris with my husband and 12 year old son. The apartment was exactly as pictured. My son declared the sofa sleeper among the best ever! We particularly enjoyed the nieghborhood (very lively cafes just downstairs-could be considered noisy by some) with a wide range of choices of cafes and restaurants in easy walking distance. I found the location to be a perfect base for sightseeing (many sights in an easy walk or subway/taxi ride) but also a lovely, local, neighborhood to come back to. Cecile was extremely easy to work with and most responsive regarding any question we might have had. The booking process was as simple as it could be. I assume all of Cecile's apartments are as lovely as ours was and I would not hesitate to book any of them. Oh yes - the very best boulangerie/patisserie is just across the street and a lovely cheese shop down Rue St. Antoine just past the metro St. Paul stop was perfect! Also - don't miss the Thur/Sun Marche St. Bastille outdoor market - a feast for the eyes and stomach! Thank you Cecile for our wonderful stay in your apartment!

Wonderful apartment in a great neighborhood

While I have had the opportunity to visit Paris numerous times over the years, I had always stayed before in a hotel, in some cases, among the best the city offers. Our experience with Cecile’s apartment has changed me, at least on this count, forever. The Marais Village 1 apartment was a joy. The apartment itself is fairly represented in its listing and in the warm reviews of Cecile’s clients. Complete and comfortable. The location was easily accessible and lively. And, Cecile is a responsive, attentive person. You cannot beat this.

Our stay at Marais Village apartment topped off the most memorable holiday. We stayed a week. Not long enough I'm afraid. It had everything we required, was immaculate, very very clean, and was in a brilliant location with little cobbled streets and funky bars. I have no doubt that the apartment really made our holiday in Paris. I am now trying to work out how I can get back there. Merci boucoup Cecile.

Great location, Great and responsive owner, Perfectly clean, Perfect for a couple. This wonderful apartment is on the 3rd floor and is an easy walk up 3 very short floors. The stairs are very narrow and a little steep when with luggage. Everything worked and the location can't be beat. I will be back, it was just great.

December 11-19,2009: What a wonderful stay in Cecile's apartment at 10 Rue du Bourg Tibourg. Cecile is a lovely, thoughtful, and professional woman. This is certainly reflected in her apartment, which is furnished and decorated warmly and beautifully. It is incredibly inviting and appealing the moment you walk in the door. Imagine the joys of a spacious apartment with a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and a "full-size writing desk." We have visited Paris many times, the last five of which we rented apartments. None of those even closely compare to Cecile's. The Marais is our favorite area, so the location is perfect. We hope on future visits we'll have the pleasure of enjoying Paris in the hands of Cecile.
