Vacation rentals near La Samaritaine

This was our first time in Paris. Candice could not have been more kind. Fast responses with messaging. She met us at check in with her father, adorable. Its small but perfect for visiting since you'll spend little time there. Very clean and its very centrally located in the city. A few blocks to Notre Dome, the Louvre and Le Marais.

The apartment was in a perfect location and a great size for the two of us. The view from the balcony was wonderful. We enjoyed being able to get everywhere from the Chatalet station. The host Stephenie was always available if we needed anything and we appreciated having a cleaning service once a week. The stairs were a challenge for those of us in advanced years but well worth the climb.

I go to Paris 1-2 times a year and this will now be my new go to. The apartment is absolute perfection. I am afraid to say this because I don’t want too many people to know about it. The place feels like my own home away from home in Paris. Everything is so comfortable. The location is fantastic. The bakery downstairs fed me every day. The only item I could point out is that a few paint touch ups are needed and a few small repairs on cabinetry but other than that it is really idyllic.

Photos are accurate: this is a small studio apartment right in the center of Paris (1st arrondissement). Features queen bed, lots of closet space, vacuum cleaner, hangers, linens, desk with TV & free wifi, bathroom with shower & clothes washer, mini-kitchen with refrig & freezer, induction stove, sink & drying racks, pots & pans, utensils & dishes; also drip coffeemaker, elec kettle & fan. Host is very nice, super responsive to Qs about how to use appliances (even though host explained and demonstrated everything, I’d forgotten some of the explanation and had to re-ask). Apartment very clean, super-secure. Super-close to RER & Metro. I walked everywhere within a roughly 2-mile radius. Grocery store around the corner. Host (thankfully for me) spoke English, as my French was ridiculously elementary! Would stay there again. Only warning: there are 18 steps to the initial landing, then 54 more narrow ones to the apartment, so hauling heavy luggage was a challenge for me, but boy, am I in better shape now! Lol.

This was the most beautiful vacation apartment we’ve stayed in. The bed and furniture were comfortable and everything was clean and working properly. The building was quiet and since there is almost no traffic on the street there wasn’t too much street noise for a city. The kitchen is too small to do much cooking but we were able to have breakfast and a light supper there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The apartment was convenient to most tourist areas. And the morning loaf of bread was delicious. We greatly enjoyed our stay and recommend this apartment without hesitation.
