Enjoyed our 10 day holiday in Paris. Very nice apartment. Charming. Fully stocked kitchen; many books including information about Paris. Not huge, but large enough for a family of 4 and BRs are upstairs which is good. Extremely well located on vibrant Marais street full of a mix of pattiserries, boutiques, bistos, brasseries and interesting stores. A block away from some of the best fallafel in the world. A short walk (30 mins or less) to many, many places. A little oasis that we looked forward to returning to after a busy day.

My family & I had a wonderful stay in your delightful maison. It was well located to take lovely walks from and we enjoyed the extra touches such as the bottle of wine on arrival. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here. It is more a home than a holiday apartment.

We had such a fantastic stay at 17th Century Maison. For 10 days we felt like we were living as Parisians - just what I had dreamed of. Highly recommend the book in the apartment on Great Eats in Paris. We chose a different one most nights we were there - and one is 20 meters up the road! The location is superb and the apartment spacious and cosy. Highly recommended. Many thanks

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment felt like a home and we really appreciated the little extras such as the guidebooks and the pram that we could use. The apartment is in a wonderful location, you could feel like a local for a little while.

We have just returned from a fabulous week with our 2 teenagers in the 17th Century Maison. The appartment was exactly as in the pictures, spacious comfortable, clean and full of charm and character. The area was wonderful and made an ideal base from which to explore Paris and was full of restaurants, little shops, and exciting streets to explore. All the arrangements worked perfectly and we would really recommend this appartment as a lovely place to stay and would certainly come again!

Dear Michele, I just want to say that your apartment in Marais was simply wonderful. The location was beyond words,we were right in the center of everything,and felt very much a part of Paris the whole time we were there. Things at the apartment were perfect. The place is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need!! I can only say I will highly recommend this to my friends. Thank you again, Bon jour!! JoAnn

This is a delightful property and is very well equipped with views over the courtyard. The Marais is great a area for restaraunts, bars and boutique shops whilst also being very centrally located for everything you would want to see. Michele also made everything very easy to organise.

The 17th Century Maison provided a wonderful nest for our three week "residency" in Paris. The accomodation was even more spacious than we had expected. The apartment is comfortable, clean and spectacularly located for traditional Paris tourist attractions as well as just assimilating the Parisian life. Restaurants, boulangeries, bistos etc abound in this stimulating neighbourhood. Michele, Wila and the cleaning lady were delightful, available and responsive. The ability to have our family and grandchildren drop in comfortably for a few days made this a truly memorable experience.

Spent a week in this lovely apartment. It's all you see, and so much more. Just a charming place, and a great location. Also, Michele and her local staff are wonderful people to deal with. Little problems were taken care of "illico presto." I'll happily stay here again. Hard to decide whether to recommend or keep this one to myself !!

My children, husband, and I have just returned from a wonderful Christmas Week in Paris. This apartment could not have been in a better location!! The neighborhood and street it is located on are wonderful. Pictures just don't do it justice! Restaurants, bakeries, and shops were next door - I miss my morning croissants!! In the week we were there, we only rode the Metro 5 times, and several were due to the icy rain our last day. Otherwise, we were within walking distance of most of the major sites: Notre Dame, Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Pantheon, and others. We enjoyed having a kitchen for fixing breakfast and a washer/ dryer for doing small loads of laundry. The arrangement of the 2 bedrooms was perfect for us. I agree that it would have been nice to have had a working fireplace - wood or gas -especially since it snowed while we were there. Michele was very helpful and extremely prompt in answering any questions. I highly recommend this apartment.

I am very happy that I decided to have an apartment experience and living "in" Paris versus staying at a hotel and visiting Paris. My two weeks in the Marais at the 17th Century Mansion were terrific and I got a sense of what it is like to be a citizen of Paris. Michele the sales agent was ever-helpful and always accessible, and Tristan the caretaker was also helpful. The apartment is very well amended, (although I wish the fireplace were in working order as it is part of the charm I was looking forward to) and the location could not be better for a Marais experience. As my sister exclaimed, "Walking out of the courtyard through the huge wooden door was like walking into Oz." The apartment is quiet as is the courtyard, but when you open the front door into the street...it is hustling and bustling with energy and life. If you are looking to be in the center of Marais life, within 5 minute walk of Notre Dame, main subway stations, and great food...then this is a perfect choice.
