Beautiful apartment

My husband and were in this apartment for a week in December. It is large and has everything you need including guidebooks and a useful binder put together by the owner with suggestions for restaurants and shopping. The location is great, close to Metro station and restaurants and shopping. It faces a courtyard so it is very quiet. Beautifully decorated. Lots of closet space and everything you need in the kitchen. I would recommend this to friends and would rent it again if we return to Paris.

From the moment we entered the apartment building we were completely thrilled. The pictures do not even do justice to how charming and spacious this apartment is.Clean, perfectly set up with all necessary appliances. Steps from a very centrally located Metro station and close to all the sites. Just a few short blocks from the market where the shop keepers are very eager to help you choose and pair your wine and cheese. I would not hesitate to recommend it strongly to families and friends. I can hardly wait to go back! For those who will be travelling to Paris for the first time - enjoy all the sites, and do yourself a favour and pack up a picnic to enjoy on the grass at the the base of the Eiffel Tower in the evening - very romantic - and when the sun goes down and the tower lights up you will be so glad you did.

I'm so glad that we chose this property for our Paris trip. This apartment is located in a wonderful part of town. Right by the Arc de Triomphe, a great neighborhood with shopping and restaurants close by and right next to a Metro station. The apartment had a wonderful book that pointed out restaurant recommendations, shopping recommendations, close attractions and provided general "get around" type of guidance. I would not hesitate to rent this property again upon my next trip to Paris!

This is a fantastic location with all of what you'll need in your Paris apartment. The bedroom, bath and kitchen are all a good size, modern and have what you need. I'd love to stay here again on my next visit to Paris! Excellent location for RER and most Metro lines.

The lovely apartment is located only steps away from the Arc de Triomphe. Walking distance from the Metro, restaurants, markets, shops on the Champs Élysée, and if you're adventurous and don't mind the exercise, many of the museums. We were greeted at the apartment and given a quick tour, answering any questions we had. On the table there was a bottle of wine and a fresh bowl of fruits. The beautifully decorated apartment faces a courtyard and has a bookshelf full of many guide books on Paris. One I found particularly helpful Knopf Mapguide, which we carried everywhere. Carole's friendly and courteous service, made our visit to Paris perfect and delightful. We highly recommend staying at the apartment and look forward to returning soon.

Live like a Parisian

Lovely apartment, warm and cosy even in the depth of winter. Friendly and prompt service from Alex and Carole. Arranged for someone to meet us on arrival to the door. Provided with an information booklet about the local area, places to eat and shop which was very helpful. Safe and secure building and lovely neighborhood only 100m or so from the Arc de Triomphe. Poncelet Market was fantastic to see and shop at. Only small issue was the amount of rennovations across the small courtyard which made a lot of noise - so no sleep-ins for us! This is totally out of the owners control and just one of those things! All in all, a fantastic experience. Very comfortable and wouldn't hesitate in recommending this apartment to anyone.

Me and my two friends stayed at this apartment for three nights. The apartment is beautiful and in a great location! We were all very sad to leave. I would reccomend this to anyone, it was so much better than any hotel!

What a great location for our holiday in Paris! The driver we hired through the owner's booking company met us at the airport and we were greeted by the apartment manager on our arrival The apartment was the perfect size for the 4 of us and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay there! The availability of local restaurants, grocery shops, markets and transportation was a bonus! We will definitely recommend it to friends and add it to our future travel plans to Paris!

“It was a pleasure staying at the Etoile apartment! I found the apartment very comfortable and roomy and nicely decorated and liked especially the location close to the Arc de Triumph and the Champs-Elysees. Everything is in walking distance, which is very convenient. I found also the apartment set-up to be very safe with the locked doors.And last but not least, your assistance during my stay was outstanding and very very helpful.If we come back to Paris, we will certainly stay there again.”

The Etoile apartment is perfect for two people. It is very quiet because its two large double floor length windows open to an inner courtyard. It is wonderfully located to explore all of Paris in a spoke-like fashion. The Poncelet market, 2 blocks away, is an important benefit. We visited most all the periodic markets in Paris and find Poncelet to be the best. It is open every day, has very friendly vendors and specialty vendors arrive on the weekend.
