Elegant, Luxurious & Rare 18th Century Apartment, Very Best Location in Paris!

This is our fourth stay in the owner’s beautiful apartment, about which there are many things to say.

First, this is not a rental apartment: it is someone’s home; elegant furniture, parquets and/or stone floors throughout, shutters for sunny afternoons (so no carpets or drapes to harbor dust and worse).

Second, the owner goes to great lengths to make you feel welcome.

Third, there is her delightful and reliable housekeeper, who meets and greets, cleans, and makes the owner’s welcome manifest.

Fourth, location: you are a block from the Seine, directly across the river from the Louvre, buses are just around the corner, many and diverse restaurants are within easy walking distance. Because Paris is the ideal walking and people-watching city, you could not be more centrally located.

As a final point, this has to be one of the safest places to stay in Paris, and not only for its location. To access the apartment requires opening three doors using both electronic and “physical” keys: from the street; into the apartment building; and into the apartment itself with its deadbolt locking system.

This apartment is very special!

We just completed a wonderful week stay at this great apartment ! Total attention to all details . All began with being met early morning by the great housekeeper and then finding a charming well appointed apartment complete with fresh flowers and a bottle of champagne ! We will definitely return ! The building and the apartment felt totally secure and is the perfect left bank location . The owner was always very responsive to all my emails .

My husband and I spent a month in this apartment 3 years ago and we loved it. We just spent 6 days in the apartment and were horribly disappointed . Unfortunately, there is a large construction site across the street and as a result the apartment is no longer safe. The apartment we were in was burglarized and my jewelry and cash were stolen also the paper on which I had written all my credit card information.. There is no safe in the apartment and we had not been advised that there have been three intrusions in this building in the last three months. The building has two security doors that need to be opened before getting into the inner building. That does not seem to be a problem for those who want to burglarize apartments. It was a terrible experience and the owner Catherine was truly only concerned about herself and kept fretting that she would never be able to rent the apartment again. Having had jewelry stolen and money lost was difficult. The fact that the apartment was so easily violated left us feeling vulnerable and insecure.

What can I say, this apartment is the epitome of Parisian living. The great location, within a very desirable neighborhood, makes it a great starting point for exploring the city. The apartment itself is large, bright and inviting with gorgeous original details that remain intact, truly a rare gem. It is furnished and accessorized in a way that is both upscale and comfortable, a perfect balance that makes one feel at home here, if even for a short time. This apartment is located in an exclusive building with just a handful of apartments which was much appreciated as the building was quiet and felt very secure, never was there a concern regarding the safety or security of the building. The owner, Catherine, is attentive and really goes above and beyond to ensure her guests have a great experience. She along with her housekeeper, take great care and pride in maintaining this absolutely lovely apartment. This apartment is spectacular, would highly recommend!

You really feel like you are in old Paris at this lovely, comfortable apartment. Everything needed for staying-in entertainment is there, including guest baths, a complete kitchen, and breakfast area. The owner has decorated the apartment with comfortable furniture including antiques, and linens. The tall windows facing away from the street open to a quiet garden with trees that give privacy and a leafy green atmosphere. Excellent security. Fabulous restaurants within walking distance of a few blocks, and two Metro stations with separate lines are just a few minutes away.
