Quartier de la Porte-Saint-Denis vacation rentals

A comfortable, well appointed and spacious flat for our family of five (18-76). Plenty of cafes and small shops nearby and several markets within a two block radius. Very responsive staff for a few issues that were quickly resolved. Would happily stay again.

The apartment is as described and shown in the pictures. Felix and Virginia are gracious, responsive hosts. Virginia met us upon check-in and even brought us a bottle of wine. She explained how to open the doors and left many eating suggestions. They even arranged a ride for our group from the apartment to the airport when we left and offered to do the same upon our arrival. The apartment was very clean and spacious. Lots of seating space for our group of five. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provided everyone their own space. The large dining room table allowed us to enjoy meals together. My only caveat is that there is a strong smell of paint in the apartment. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment was a bonus as was having air conditioning. The neighborhood is very diverse, but we enjoyed that. Lots of great eating places nearby, and Alexine's bakery across the street was excellent--a must try! The Metro was very close, so it made getting around Paris very easy. Other nearby conveniences included pharmacies, mini-marts, and fruit markets. Be aware that there is one circular flight of stairs to climb to get to the apartment, but there is handrail. On our trip, we stayed at three different locations in England and France, and this was the best. Would go back again!

Our family of 5 just returned from 8 nights in Paris staying in this wonderful apartment. So many good things to say about it. The layout of the apartment was perfect for my husband and I and our 3 young adult kids. When you walk in there is a good size foyer/entry room to drop coats (January in Paris is cold!) and shoes and even an extra suitcase. This room also had a half bathroom (small sink and toilet). The open main living/dining/kitchen room is just as the photos show with beautiful tall ceilings and a comfortable place to land after a day touring. The kitchen was efficient yet had everything we needed for morning coffee and even an evening meal. The main bedroom, with a king bed and private bath, was comfortable and had an efficient closet to store our clothes. The other two bedrooms were roomy enough with comfortable beds and an updated bathroom to share. There is a stacked washer and dryer as well. The apartment is in a beautiful Haussmann-style building. From the street you use the code to enter the building and there is a secondary door to use the key fob to enter into the actual stairwell to the apartment. We felt very safe. For Americans, it is on the third floor with a beautiful winding staircase. There is no elevator. The location was perfect, with so many restaurants, boulangeries, shops on the street. Two Metro stops close by but also close enough to walk to many sites if you are a walker. Communication was great too. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend this property. We spent Christmas in Paris with my 80-year-old mother and 3 young adult daughters. There was plenty of space, it was bright and well-appointed. One minor adjustment needed to be made to a radiator; they were responsive and there within the hour. We booked this property 9 months before our trip since we were traveling at Christmas. Communication along the way was stellar. We would definitely stay at this property again.

We thoroughly enjoyed this apartment for our week stay in Paris. A great location with metro station within close walking distance makes it the perfect place to relax after a long day in the city. Easy check in, clean, and apartment as described. Love the balcony. Can get anywhere very quickly from this apartment. Lots of good restaurants and grocery store a block away.
