I enjoyed four nights in the comfortable and well appointed flat close to the Arc de Triomphe. The area was "trés Parisienne": full of shops, restaurants, open markets etc. LIke being in a little village right in the heart of the city. With a Metro stop close by, all of Paris was at my door. For location and comfort, the flat definitely deserves 5 stars!

Owner response:I am very glad you enjoyed my flat and it's "vie de quartier" as we say here. Hope to welcome you another time there. Cordialement, Luc

Exceptional Location

The apartment is only a few blocks from the Arch de Triumph and metro and railway stations. A great market is about two blocks away. Other restaurants, shops, etc are very close. The owner provided us with detailed instructions on getting from the airport to the apartment and was helpful with any questions. Apartment is spacious and quite comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was comfortable, in a great location close to Metro, shops, restaurants and we were able to walk safely in the area. The apartment was clean and we loved food shopping at the close Poncelet marche down the road. There we could buy fresh produce - fantastic. Jean Michel was very helpful and accommodating. We would be very happy to recommend this apartment as a place to stay in Paris.

Great location and charming apartment

The location for this apartment was ideal. There was a market just around the corner that provided us with a memorable breakfast every morning that we cooked in the apartment. The metro was a quick five minute walk that took us all over the city. Also, five minutes away was the Arc de Triumph and the Champs Elysees. The apartment had a phone and wi-fi that really helped us call home and stay in touch with friends. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of plates and dishes for the four of us. There was a couch that folded out into a bed that my friends said let them have a good night sleep. Our bed was great. The apartment is located on a street that seemed very quiet for the middle of Paris which allowed us to enjoy the fall weather with the windows open.

Excellent location - highly recommended!

We have just returned from four days in Paris and can highly recommend this property! We loved it. Superb location, the Air France coach service from the airport drops you just around the corner saving a fortune on taxis and the RER/metro station is a few minutes walk away. We could get straight on the RER direct to Disneyland with no changes. Jean-Michel greeted us as we arrived and was so helpful and polite. The apartment itself had everything you would need and I was delighted to say the bed was really comfortable! There are shops on your doorstep for groceries and essentials and a pizza/pasta restaurant facing the apartment. We were a family of three and the apartment was perfect. It was great having internet access and cable tv, and was able to phone home free of charge. Loved every minute of this holiday - thank you!

Everything was perfect, I couldn't expect more from this "séjour" in Paris. The house has everything you need, is clean, nice and typically French! Perfect location and surroundings, you can go everywhere by foot or by subway. The welcoming was great, Jean-Michel is really polite and friendly... he even sent me back the ipod i forgot! thanks for everything, can't wait to come back to Paris!

We have visited Paris many times and were quite familoiar with the immdeiate area. The location could not be better and is convenient to everything, either with a short walk or metro. The apartment was everything advertised and very comfortable. Jean-Luc greted us on arrival and was most gracious and made us feel quite welcome. We enjoyed the apartment so much during our visit last December that we are in the process of making reservations to stay there again this December. Free phone service to the U.S. and internet service in the apartment was a welcome bonus. We would reccommend Luc's apartment to any smal family or group of friends, perfect for a romantic weekend.

Owner response:David, I am delighted you enjoyed your stay, thank you to have taken the time to share your enjoyement in this review. Hope to have the pleasure to welcome you again in December this year. Best regards Luc

Our Stay in June 2010

Guest: A&A (Atlanta, GA, U.S.)
Date of Stay: 06/06/10 Review Submitted: 07/06/10

My daughter and I just stayed there and we appreciated the friendly welcome of Jean Michel, all the information that was given to us before we arrived and after, and the great location of the appartment - it is easy to access, in a great neighborhood, and although the windows are looking over the street, it is very quiet at night, and very bright during the day - However, I did recomment that all the sheets, pillows and towels be replaced, as well as some of the furniture which looks really old and overused - In general it needs a little uplift and renovation in all aspects - If you are staying a few days it is great !

My husband and I love to come to Paris and "live as Parisians". It is so easy to do that in this well located apartment, close to the Etoile metro, street markets, grocery stores and numerous restaurants. All the tourist spots are easily accessible. The apartment is clean and bright,well equiped for cooking, very comfortable, has guide books,maps, and free phone calls to the US. Jean - Michel and Luc are honest, friendly and available to help,a real pleasure to work with.

A Parisian Haven

Guest: MR38 (Los Angeles)
Date of Stay: 02/08/10 Review Submitted: 11/25/11

It was my first time in Paris and greatly enjoyed my stay because of this wonderfully outfitted apartment. It was truly a haven for my mother and I while in Paris. Jean-Michel was truly very pleasant and welcoming. The internet and phone service was a blessing in keeping us in touch with friends and family. We shopped for our own food at local stores and picked up fresh pastries around the corner, as well as great restaurants close-by. Perfect location as it is close to the metro but in a small street away from the noise of the big city so you can get a good-night's sleep. Felt safe walking back to the flat at night. A shuttle to the airport can be taken a few blocks away. I am just sorry I have not written this review sooner as I have very fond memories to my trip to Paris and this flat. Thank you Luc and Jean-Michel. -Monica

My husband and I enjoyed 4 wonderful days in the apartment (May 7-May 11). Luc and his property manager Jean-Michel made everything so easy! Paris was our second destination in Europe and Luc provided excellent directions from the Eurostar station and Jean-Michel was waiting for us and provided a friendly introduction to the apartment. The location is ideal being just 3 blocks from the Arc de Triomphe. The apartment itself is delightful, very spacous and comfortable. We cooked serveral meals in the room. The room also had free phone call to the US and other countries! We were so pleased to be able to call home to our teenage children. We wholeheartedly recommend this apartment and would stay again. Thank you Luc and Jean-Michel for a great vacation rental.

My husband and I stayed at your flat for 9 days in May, for our honeymoon. We would like to say that we were very pleased with how friendly the staff was that met us, Jean Michel. We have already recommended your flat to a family friend, who plans on booking with you for a week in November. We just are so grateful to be in such a lovely place for over a week... that wasn't too expensive, that met all of our needs, and that allowed us to be so close to all the cities attractions. Thank you again for all of your help. -Jennifer Jacobus

Dear Luc, I received the deposit back today. We very much enjoyed the flat and will be happy to recommend to our friends. For us, it happened to be a convenient way to accomodate part of our party, while others stayed with friends. I will keep it in mind as my preference if and when my wife return to Paris -- we are much more inclined to knowing your place is available. Thanks again -- also thanks to Jean Michel, who was very pleasant and helpful. Sincerely
