Excellent stay in Paris

We couldn't ask for better accommodations. The location was perfect - just outside of the touristy area to allow us to relax after long days of travel. The apartment was clean and Boyd was a pleasure to work with. Everything went smoothly and we were very comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Paris.

We shared the apt with and friend as well. Absolutely loved the location, I was up early getting baguettes and pastries every day. Wonderful market downstairs. One morning I got up for an early run and went to Luxembourg Gardens. Aquaboulevard is just blocks away - the children loved the day they spent there, but mostly loved the nightime view of the sparkling eiffel tower from the bedroom windows. We saw lots; did lots; came back every night to a wonderful place. Boyd is fabulous and takes great care of you. We will return, and I have recommended the apt to others.

Christmas in Paris

My husband, myself and our two grown daughters spent Christmas and New Years at this flat. It is a great location with the Metro just a block away and a large grocery on the ground floor of the complex. Also there is a biweekly market just outside the building. Boyd was really helpful and was always available for questions/help plus he had a book with favorite local restaurants, etc. We would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Very clean and everything worked well.

European traveler

My wife and I went to Europe to meet up with our daughter studying in Italy. We had not seen her for four months so wanted to rent a place that felt like home and we could be a family again. We read the reviews of Boyd's place in the 13th district and they did not do the flat justice. It was the largest place we rented while in Europe, It had all the amenities you could ask for, coffe maker with coffee!! a well stocked kitchen a washer and dryer and two baths. The first eve we arrived and I went downstairs to the store and picked up some wine, chees, breada nd fruit and we sat and enjoyed ou view of the Eifel tower. We then walked two blocks to the train and went to town for dinner. We were able to get everywhere we needed by train or walking. The museums and churches were breath taking. Our high light was the tour of the eifel tower at night with the city all lit up. We then found a little cafe and ended up spending 4 hours talking with some locals and having a great time. All in all it was sad to leave Paris. Can not wait to go back for an extened stay and would love to stay in the 13th district again to feel like a local and not a tourist. Would highly recommend this unit to others who want a little paradise in the city of lights.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind words. Two small corrections....First, we are in the 15th not the 13th. Second, here in France, we call the subway a "Metro", not a train , which is what we use to travel out of Paris on.

Paris Apartment

I just spent 3 days with my family at Boyd's apartment. It was absolutely perfect! He picked us up at the airport and took us to the apartment. It was nice, clean, and had completely renovated and updated bathrooms. Perfect for two teenage daughters! The location was great- close to a Metro stop, a nice view of the Eiffel Tower, and in a gated complex. We could watch the night light show of the Eiffel Tower from the apartment. It helps that Body speaks English, so there is no miscommunication. I would highly recommend this lovely apartment for your next trip to Paris.

Owner response:At 74..... it is the first time a boy with a south mouth from Texas has been told he speaks English '-) Ya'll come ....... Body....er Boyd

Great Location, Great Apartment.

Two couples chose this apartment because it was close to the Paris Expo where we were attending the "Paris Chocolate Show"...a 5 minute walk... but more important it was a great area with lots of everything you come to Paris for. It is where real French people live an we did not miss the tourist atmosphere of the 2nd Arrondissement where we stayed last year. In 11 minutes we could be in the heart of Paris with all the sights, then back to the quite of a real comfortable place that was wonderful for recharging for the next day. You never know for sure just what you will get until you open the door but let us tell you what you see in the pictures is what you get and more. We could not have been happier with our choice. The American kitchen & 2 bathrooms made getting off in the mornings a snap. Haveing a super fast WiFi and unlimited free calling back to the states was just what we needed to keep in touch with the office back home . Last, but not least, the owner really cared about us. What a difference from some agent who just wants to drop off the key and be gone ASAP. Try it, you will like it. We come twice a year on average and I promise you Boyd's place will be our Paris address from now on.

Owner response:It is nice to know people appreciate the extra effort when you put it out.Looking forward to your return. B2

A VERY ENJOYABLE 4 DAYS IN PARIS

The listing description and photos were dead accurate of this very clean, bright, sunny, quiet and cheery property. Other than having breakfast and sleeping in the flat we were not there very much but it was ideal for us. Everything we could possibly have wanted or needed was there.A great place to put one's feet up and collapse after a busy day out and about. Everything in the flat worked well without any hassle. Having a proper and full super market downstairs in the building was a real bonus. Internet access was very important to us and it was there and effortless. There were lots of perfectly adequate restaurants in the vicinity and the proximity to public transport was good. We would absolutely return to the flat again if we needed to be in Paris. We highly recommend the flat. Thank you from a very happy guest. Babs

My wife and I could not have been more pleased......our first time renting an apartment instead of a hotel. Wow, what a great way to go and we picked the right apartment for a family of 4. From the great supermarket just down stairs to a real "eat in " kitchen to handle breakfast and snacks.... things were just like home......That was the key... "like home" ....to our successful trip. The pictures in the listing were what you will see when you arrive....no surprises. We will be back for sure.

Excellent place to stay in Paris

We found this apartment to be very clean, comfortable, convenient and safe. The owner and his wife went way beyond the normal call of duty to ensure we had a great vacation. I would strongly recommend staying here. We have vacationed in cities around the world and stayed in some very nice places, this place is great. Boyd and his wife greated us at the apartment and had milk, bread, butter and eggs waiting for us, which was a big deal after an overnight flight with the family. The apartment is close to two metro stops and bus lines that take you easily into the heart of Paris. There is a full grocery store on the bottom floor of the building that's great. Pastry shops, fruit stands and ATM machines are all within 2 minutes walk in a safe area. All in all, we loved it and will stay here again in a few years when we return to Paris. Thanks Boyd
