What our previous guests are saying about their stay:
“Great apartment, great neighborhood”4
Recently returned from a wonderful week in this apartment with our two sons and daughter-in-law.
The pre-rental experience was great. The driver they arranged was prompt and we had a great ride into Paris.
We were a little early for check-in, but waited across the street at the Lizard Lounge, which I highly recommend as an English speaking outpost. The greeter called to let me know she was at the apartment. The apartment was exactly as expected. It is on the 5th ( 6th US) floor and the options are a tiny elevator or a small winding staircase. The apartment occupies two floors. First floor has a living area with a large dining table and a kitchen with range, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Also in the first floor is a bathroom with a small shower. Second floor has three bedrooms- One good size with a queen bed , a second, smaller bedroom with a queen and a small third with a single. There is also a bathroom with a tub/shower.
The Marais neighborhood is fantastic and after a couple of days we felt like we were part of the neighborhood. There is a full grocery store across the street, a great boulangerie on the corner and many other cafes, restaurants and shopping ( food and otherwise) within a 5-10 minute walk. The Hotel de Ville metro stop is very close. We could walk to Ile Saint-Louis in 10 minutes.
The apartment was very comfortable for the five of us and was in a fantastic location.

“Genuine Local Living”4
This is a gem of an apartment in an ideal off-the-tourist-path location. One isolated block, virtually traffic free, in the beautiful Marais district. Grocery across the street, boulangerie on the corner, probably a dozen outdoor cafes within two blocks. Five minute walk to Notre Dame. Even though our street was quiet, we were just a couple blocks from several Metro stops and could navigate the city with ease. Virtually no hotels in sight. We felt like we were getting the true native Parisian experience.
We called the manager upon arrival and only waited a few minutes at the apartment before we were let in. (The building elevator is a hoot - so narrow I had to stand sideways!) Even though we arrived prior to the official check-in time, they were very accommodating about letting us drop off our bags. Another agent arrived later to give us a tour of the apartment and to drop off the keys. Ultimately, we discovered that texting was the easiest way to communicate. I received a prompt response to my questions at all hours of the day and evening.
The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable. The manager prepared a guide book of helpful information about the apartment and the neighborhood. Prior guests have written helpful tips (and reviews!) in the margins - which the manager has thankfully permitted. We used the stove top, oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer, television, AC without any difficulty at all. The WiFi was a little spotty but that is the only (minor) complaint I can recall. The bookshelf is stocked with travel guides. We added ours to the collection when we left.
Many thanks also to Patrick (Paris for Rent) who was extremely helpful with the booking and my many pre-trip questions.

“A Great Apartment in a Great Location”4
Paris apartments with space, a number of bedrooms and location are a rare find. This is a rare find. I was expecting much smaller rooms because I have much experience with apartments and rooms in Europe. Superb location, across from a Franprix food store, near a wonderful boulangerie and square for people watching. My 15-month old granddaughter and I would walk to the square in the morning and watch both people and birds, later making our purchase of croissants and other delights, making friends; her, mostly.
Walking distance to pretty much everything - restaurants, Metro. This was our first stay in the Marais and we would recommend that as well.
My wife wrote the following to the individual who assisted her in the booking:
"We just returned home on Friday, and the refund check was already here, so thank you for the great service on that. Our time in Paris was great. The apartment was perfect for our needs. We loved the location, a quiet area, but very close to restaurants and transportation, and a grocery right across the street. The decor was very nice, comfortable beds, nice living area. And it was very clean when we arrived. The check in worked well. The greeter was very welcoming and helpful (I'm sorry that I've forgotten her name). The only negative was that the cleaner arrived too early on the day we were leaving. We were gone by 10:00, but he was there shortly after 9:30 and we were still packing. Overall, though, we very much enjoyed our stay there, and would recommend the apartment and your agency. Thanks for making our time in Paris enjoyable."
That pretty much sums it up. It's a very nice rental.

"For a week we lived like the local Parisians and loved it!"4
Location, location, location! This apartment was central to many sites of interest, metro stations, boutiques, patisseries, boulangeries, cafes, and more. The market was steps from the front door as was a tea shop and many other eateries. The Pompidou, the Notre Dame, and the Bastille were all within 10-15 minutes walking distance. With one family member in a wheelchair it was a dream to be that close to so many things.
Upon arrival our greeter met us with baguettes and croissants.
It was very comfortable for the 5 adults and 2 teenagers in our family and we appreciated the DSL, air conditioning and lift. Amenities that were hard to come by in our rental search in Paris. The apartment was very clean, with comfortable beds, a good kitchen, and it was very quiet,
I would definitely rent this apartment again. We had a wonderful stay in this charming, cozy, and rustic loft apartment.
