  We expected the apartment to be good but it far exceeded our expectations. The bed was extremely comfortable with lovely sheets. Plenty of towels and bath robes, too. The kitchen was wonderful, which was very important to us as we cooked most nights during our two-week stay. Everything worked like a charm. The outdoor farmers market on Beaumarchais, which I believe to be the best in Paris was a short walk away. Another (indoor/outdoor) market, Aligre, was also within walking distance for the days the Beaumarchais market was not open. In these markets are fascinating to stroll through even if you are not buying food. The location was not only good for the markets. There is a small Metro stop a very short block away and the very large Bastille metro stop is just a few blocks further, so getting around Paris was quite easy. The neighborhood itself was a great place to stay. Place de Vosges is maybe five short blocks away. We discovered another area, previously unknown to us, a few blocks east of the apartment. It is very lively scene for happy hour, which assumes the French have adopted with gusto. Lots of young and not so young Parisians indulging in one of their favorite pastimes, people watching. There are a couple smaller streets which specialize in late-night bars, many quite trendy. Back to the apartment: it was very comfortable for us and would work well for a couple with two children or possibly two couples. Another plus: always plenty of hot water. Excellent double paned windows made for sleeping well. No elevator, but the apartment is only one floor of from street level. The windows overlooked a simple courtyard. Plenty of light. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The owner was very helpful in arranging a taxi at the end of our stay and throughout the two weeks we were there. Booking the studio was simple and straightforward, with questions answered promptly and clearly. One note: the fireplace is not a working fireplace. That said, I doubt that there are many working fireplaces in Paris. We would recommend this apartment to pretty much anyone.

  I planned a two week vacation for myself and my two grown daughters as a special treat. This apartment made everything perfect. It was cozy, spacious and perfectly situated in the Marais. We could easily get to anywhere because there was a Metro stop just up the block. We could also walk to any number of lovely restaurants, not just French cuisine, but also Italian, Thai, and others. There is a convenient grocery store on the street, and a boulangerie just on the corner. The entrance to the apartment is inside a quiet courtyard, so there is absolutely no street noise. Staying in the apartment was lovely. The linens on the bed were extra soft and sumptuous, and the two day beds in the living room were ideal for my daughters. They were also very comfortable. There were plenty of lights, and closet space with good hangers, and drawers in which to store our clothing so we did not have to live out of suitcases. The bathroom is plenty big. You can't tell from the photos, but it is full size and again, plenty of cabinets and drawers. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal and extra things you might not have thought of. When we arrived, the place was spotless and a delightful bowl of fruit and treats was waiting on the kitchen table. One word of warning: the door! Push a little extra to get in. We thought we had locked ourselves out and phoned Marie to help us. She promptly sent a locksmith to tend to the situation, but amusingly, we just didn't push on the door hard enough. Everything worked out fine, and Marie couldn't have tended to the situation any quicker. She came to check on us later, and was very kind about our mishap. We could have stayed anywhere, but we were blessed with this apartment. And I will try to get it again next time I plan a trip to Paris.

  This Saint-Gilles apartment is exemplary: from its charming, warm and helpful hosts, the easy booking process, the quiet courtyard, the spacious living space, ample closet space (linens, iron, everything has been thought of), full kitchen, full-sized bathtub, high ceilings. And best of all is the location, a stone's throw from Place des Voges, the métro, grocery stores and boulangeries and lovely neighbourhood bars and restaurants, as well as the Marais galleries. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

  We were extremely satisfied with the property. The location was brilliant being close to the metro and Marais is a very special place with many shops and restaurants. The property was the cleanest we have ever stayed in and on arrival there was a welcome bowl of fruit and chocolate. Also coke, orange juice and bottled water in the fridge! The apartment had anything we needed including an umbrella! We didn't see the owner that often but he helped with any questions we had at the time. We would absolutely recommend this property as it was also recommended to us.

  My boyfriend and I stayed in Mathias' apartment for 9 nights in November, and had a great experience. I would highly recommend it. The apartment is big by Parisian standards, clean, nicely appointed, very quiet, and well located. It is on the first floor, so it is easy to carry suitcases up to it; it has a comfortable queen sized bed, which are not common in France; and the bathroom and kitchen are generously sized. There is a metro stop about a block and a half away, a boulangerie on the corner, and a good supermarket a block away. There are good restaurants nearby, and it is an easy walk to the Place des Voges and into the heart of the Marais. There is a huge food market on Sundays a few blocks away. Mathias was very helpful and quick to respond, and it was easy to get access to the apartment when we arrived. I can't wait to go back.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 week stay in this apartment. It was comfortable, modern and roomy and exactly as represented on the website. The location was very central but the apartment is really quiet. Marie Jagou was a perfect hostess and helped us out with restaurant suggestions etc. We ended up mostly eating at Le Petit Marche or Chez Janou, depending on who had the better lunchtime special. We would happily stay here again.

  I would recommend this apartment. Central location in a great neighbourhood - le Marais. Clean, well-maintained, modern and cheerful apartment. Listing description and photos are accurate. Owner was away so we did not benefit from her/his experience, but found them extremely easy to work with in terms of arranging the contract and payment. We were 2 adults with 2 girls ages 6 and 8. I would stay here again.

  Four of us (women) have just returned from 2 weeks in Paris, staying in the Marais apt. We found the apt. comfortable, very clean, quiet and it had everything we needed! The location was awesome - easy walking distance to the Seine, 2 boulangeries, a grocery corner store, a Monoprix, des Vosges, metro and a great outdoor market at nearby Bastille Square. Though there were 4 of us, we never felt crowded. We loved Madame Jagou! She (and her husband) were so friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed and arranged our departure at the end of our stay. Really appreciated the asst of fruit, wine, choc.,teas, coffee etc she had in the apt upon our arrival. This was my fifth visit to Paris and because the apt was so home-like, it was one of the best! Would definetly stay there again.

  This was my second stay in this apartment. I returned because of the excellent Marais location (close to public transportation) and a fascinating neighbourhood, all locals and few tourists. This is a good chance to see French every-day life. We were given an extremely warm welcome and good orientation information. The apartment has a fully functional kitchen and is spacious for two. The oldest square in Paris (Place des Vosges) is only a block away. It's a wonderful experience to stay here!

  We had such a wonderful stay at 6 Rue St-Gilles! The photos don't fully capture the charm of the apartment. It was perfect for our recent 11 night stay. We, a couple and our teenage daughter, were very comfortable. On three of the nights there were four of us (our daughter’s friend for a weekend and then our son for one night) and this worked out just fine, too. Other family members were also visiting Paris and we met up at our place a couple of times as it's such a great location. The small nearby restaurants and shops are delightful as is the Place des Vosges. Gli Angeli, just a few doors down, accommodated 11 of us for dinner and they treated us as if we were old friends – très sympa! Most mornings we enjoyed picking up fresh baguettes and croissants at the corner bakery, Artisan Boulanger. We also enjoyed having dinner at Chez Janou and Le Petit Marché (these small restaurants are packed every night so reservations are needed). The apartment has everything you need and more. We so appreciated the bowl of goodies and drinks waiting for us. Within an hour of arriving we had all our clothes on hangers or folded and put away our suitcases in the storage closet, we were able to make this our home away from home. We’d definitely like to stay here on our next visit to Paris. Merci Madame Jagou!
