This place was a delight for our 6 nights stay - so close to the attractions/dining options. It made our travel a lot easier. Our young kids really enjoyed the place with the quirky upstair bedding arrangement. The host - Jeff - is super helpful and generous. The place has all the amenities that are inclusive. Wonderful place!

Fantastic location. Accommodating host. We loved our stay and enjoyed everything Paris had to offer at Christmas time. Noisy upstairs apartment one night, but didn't let it effect our stay. Would highly recommend just always know that noise is a possibility in a city on a weekend, wherever you stay.

Well furnished apartment, in an great location. Check in was easy. We could not find correct pods for the Nespresso, but all other appliances worked well.

I have stayed in several Paris apartments and this is by far my favorite. Convenient and well described check-in procedure, comfortable and cozy furnishings, perfectly outfitted kitchen, lots of towels, great wifi. The apartment is in an ideal location for walking, public transportation, restaurants, tourist attractions. I will plan my next trip around the availability of this apartment.

We loved our stay in this apartment. The location is perfect! You can walk to so many great sites, cafes, etc. The apartment was clean and well stocked. The living room felt larger than the photos, and the tv was too. The bed was very comfortable. Communication with the owner was easy and quick. We were there for 7 nights and it was perfect for us (2 adults). Thank you Jeff for a great stay! We hope to rent the apartment again in the future.

Location location location. Additionally the place was super clean and fully stocked with towels, dishware, coffee makers and all appliances. The host was very responsive and answered all our questions. FYI: The door from the street is colored blue, then the door into the unit is colored black. Two other things that may be helpful are the following: the shower is step up into, maybe 12 inches off the floor and those sleeping in the loft will access the bathroom through the bedroom. All in all we had a wonderful time.

The property was as expected. Great location! Only downside was the beds in the loft, although we knew about them when we booked. Would recommend this apartment because it was within easy walking of many sights.

Location, location, location!! This is very close to both the RER and metro, making getting around the city as easy as possible. There are lots of stores, restaurants, etc very close by. There is a "skeleton" front door to the entire apartment complex, for which the #11 is not lit up, so we had some trouble finding the place in the middle of the night. We also didn't have wi-fi, and didn't have the skeleton door code, so it made check in a little tricky. For non-Parisians, I think this process could have been a little more clearly explained. I kept wandering around looking for a green door. Also, all the towels smelled of cigarettes, which was tough for me. The place is small, so be mindful of that if you're traveling with all girls like we were. Also, there's a space air conditioner, but it doesn't really work, and it's not possible to open the windows/use the fan as people often were in the courtyard smoking. Overall, it was an adequate stay.
3.0
The apartment is an excellent location of Paris with easy access to the Metro, Notre Dame, and the St. Germain area. Access to the room was a little confusing requiring door and lockbox codes and requested communication with the local contact once arriving in Paris, but it all worked out with no issue.
The apartment is on the first floor. There are metal shutters covering the windows that apparently can be opened to let light in, but without much window coverings for privacy. Some metal shutters looked old and damaged - we were a little afraid to be opening/closing them. Mosquitoes and allergies (June 2023) were also a a concern. However, there is no other ventilation for the apartment or bathroom. With higher daytime temps, unit became hot a stuffy, especially for sleeping. No AC unit or fans are provided.
The unit has a small kitchen and there's a washer/dryer combo unit. Washing clothing or towels was impractical as the unit cycles are long and the drying was not very effective - clothing towels were always damp even after considerable drying. Unless perhaps you're drying a very small load.
Teens/young adults were in the courtyard in the evening smoking, talking, drinking, and hanging out. This was a noise annoyance for us on a couple of evenings.
While the location is excellent, the livability and amenities may not align with the overall cost and expectations.

Everything was perfect except our arrival. I followed the directions for entering the outer door and the code for the lock box for the keys to the apartment. There were no keys in the lock box. Stood around, tired from out flight with heavy bags. Tried calling the number, could not understand the phone message in rapid French. then within 5 minutes the cleaning staff showed up. They had the keys, they were just late arriving and sourcing up the place. So it was resolved, but my heart did fall at first.
the location was perfect and delightful in its quiet. Thank you. I would highly recommend this place.

It was our first time in Paris and the location was perfect for our walks around the City, every touristic place is easy to get by walk, metro or bus. The apartment has all you could need, fully equipment kitchen, comfortable matres in all the beds. Hot water always. It is and old building, very French, very charm, and the apartment totally renewed. We really loved Paris and Jean appartment. Elizabeth was also,very nice with us. Thank you!

This apartment is in a fantastic location - a very short walk to Notre Dame and the Metro. Our family of 4 stayed here and although it was a little snug, the great location was worth it! The host was very easy to deal with and very communicative. Check in was a breeze. It was a great choice for us.

Greatest location. Easy walk to many highlights. Near to train and subway stations. Very quiet neighborhood close to all sorts and price ranges of restaurants. Small but neat apartment perfect for couples. Owner was over the top easy to deal with and helpful. Guided us through Covid and helped us with VRBO issues.

We had the most fabulous stay in this St. Germain property for our first ever visit to Paris. The apartment is cozy, comfortable, perfectly located to shops and restaurants, the metro and really just perfect to access anything and everything. Our host and building manager were attentive and accessible. We have my 82 year old mom the spacious bedroom and my 23 year old daughter and I loved sleeping in the loft area. Trip and accommodations could not have been better. Merci. Merci. Merci!

This apartment was perfect for our first time in Paris - communication with the host was fast and clear every time. We felt safe with the gate that required a code. The apartment itself was the perfect size for 3 friends, we all had our own bed (1 king, 2 twins beds). The kitchen was updated and had everything we needed! A huge bonus was having a washer and dryer, the host also provided laundry detergent for us to use. Overall location was perfect - a 2 min walk to the metro, tons of trendy restaurants and cafes in walking distance, and very safe! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Paris!

This apartment was exactly what we needed for our trip to Paris. It was clean, quiet and the perfect size for our family of four. The location was ideal, and only half a block from the metro. We will definitely come back!

We could not have chosen a better property. Location, location, location!! I am reluctant to give raving reviews because I don't want this flat to become unattainable in the future....but in all truthfulness, it was almost as perfect as one can get. The check-in process was seamless, the flat itself was very cute and truly did feel like home. I felt very safe also. You enter with a key code from the street into a cute courtyard.
Then keys to get into the first floor flat. The kitchen was small, but had everything one needed. We ate breakfast there daily and and a few dinners. The bedroom had a king sized bed(2 twins) and very comfy mattresses(we loved it and looked-IKEA!). Bathroom had great water pressure and lots of storage and plenty of towels. The lofted area had 2 twin beds which was perfect for my older kids to have their own space. The location was truly ideal. 2 metro stations are extremely close, TONS of restaurants and shopping everywhere you turn. Near Notre-Dame, the Siene, Pantheon, and more! Monoprix was a few blocks away for groceries and odds and ends, my son even found a Chipotle and a McDonalds! We have friends in Paris and they also said this location was perfect! Jeff was an amazing host and answered questions almost immediately. Inside the flat you find a folder with helpful information, area shopping, restaurants and some rules. There is a large safe in the bedroom closet where we stored all our passports too. Truly lovely and would not hesitate to return to this flat.
One negative was noise from the neighbors. The flat's instruction book states no noise after 10pm(including laundry) and that neighbors have been known to call. We experienced a couple loud parties on Fri/Sat night until about 1am and a couple nights of loud "remodeling" maybe(hammering, furniture moving etc...). So, don't worry to much about not doing laundry or watching tv after 10pm. We were concerned at first then realized, it's no big deal. Just don't have loud music blasting of course!

Charming apartment in Paris. We loved the location of the apartment, it was so close to restaurants, shops and landmarks. We were a family of 5 and fit perfectly. The apartment had everything we needed and was very clean. The owner was very helpful with information and responded to my emails very quickly. We hope to return some day!!

My husband and I took our 12 year old soccer obsessed son and 15 year old culture/fashion/music/foodie daughter to Paris for Christmas week and the memories made centered around this charming Vrbo! We were steps away from two metro stops that took us everywhere with ease. The home is so quiet at night, just minutes from restaurants and shops. My kids were safe to leave to explore the area or grab their favorite treats without us always by their side. The home had a nespresso machine, oven, microwave, d/w…the works! We made pasta one night and chilled watching Netflix. There were adapters (for US plugs), umbrella, travel books (in TV drawer), extra blankets…basically everything to make you feel at home. Host was very responsive and we would stay again in a heartbeat! Teenagers loved the loft beds and we loved our king bed with door for privacy! Absolute best location down a charming alley. Thank you!!

We stayed here for 4 nights, right in the heart of old Paris. This property is close to all of the sights we wanted to see. Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle and Pont-Neuf. The property was super clean and cozy and has everything needed for amenities. The bed was very comfortable. We specifically wanted a ground floor, no stairs, quiet location and this was it! There were 2 small steps to the landing of the front door off the courtyard, but that was no problem for us. There are multiple security measures, the first being coded access from the street to the courtyard and then the access to the property providing a very secure experience. There is great dining within a block in every direction. Communication with the host was excellent. We would definitely stay here again on a return trip and would recommend this property to a couple looking to experience all that Paris has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment. Wonderfully quiet and secure in a charming real french courtyard. But when you walk down the street you immediately feel the cosiness and bustle of the beautiful old town of Paris and Saint Germain de Pres. The apartment is very pleasant, warmly decorated and fully equipped. We will definitely be back!

My family had a fantastic stay in this charming Paris apartment. The apartment was well equipped and very comfortable for our family of two adults and two teens. As advertised, the apartment is very quiet but just around the corner from bustling streets, delightful cafes, markets and shopping. We visited during the transportation strike and metro was not operating; however, we were close enough to walk to see many of major sites (the Seine, Notre Dame, Saint Chappelle, the Louvre, Sacre-Couer, the Eiffel Tower). Great communication and easy check in process. If we get back to Paris, we will definitely choose this apartment for our stay.

Thank you so much for an amazing stay in Paris. . We are a family of 5 with 3 children (ages 9,11,14) and this apartment was perfect for us. We stayed for 4 days. The apartment is located on a quiet street in an amazing neighborhood that is central to all of the major attractions. There is a metro station, several restaurants, and a grocery store near by. Communications with the owner were great. Maeve greeted us upon our arrival to the city and let us into the apartment early. She walked us through the apartment and explained how to use everything. It is a very clean apartment and everything worked perfectly for us. We were provided plenty of towels and supplies. The kitchen has several appliances including a full size fridege/feezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker etc. I highly recommend this apartment . It is not a large apartment...but with the loft we felt like we had plenty of space for our family.
Maeva also set up a car service to the airport for us and it was great...on time and the driver was very nice. Thank you again for an amazing stay in Paris! We hope to come back soon.

I stayed here with my husband and two children (ages 7 & 10) for 4 nights. We absolutely adored this charming apartment! Our kids were so excited to have their own special loft over the kitchen. The old beams running through the high ceilings give so much character to the place. The courtyard was always quiet and had it's own charm with lots of hanging plants. The master bedroom has no windows and was therefore dark as a cave every night, allowing for good sleep. We loved the king size bed--a rare find in Europe! Water pressure in the shower was excellent. The kitchen is tiny but perfectly adequate to make quick breakfasts before we headed out for the day. My only complaint was that it could have been cleaned a little better-- there was a large spill down the side of one of the loft beds and the area between the toilet seat and the toilet tank hadn't been wiped down. Overall, it was clean. When I had questions, it was easy to text our host Maeva for answers. The location was fabulous! We were steps from the bustling and lively neighborhood, full of restaurants and shops. Also very close to several different Metro stops, which made it very easy to get wherever we needed to go. This apartment was perfect for our family and we all agreed we would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This apartment is lovely! It is located in the most perfect and central neighborhood for exploring Paris. Although a bit of a tight squeeze for four adults, we had a wonderful stay here. Highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking to stay in the heart of the city, just steps from the Seine and Notre Dame!

Snug Apartment in a Wonderful Location
My daughter and I fully enjoyed our stay in this sweet apartment located near so many of the sights we had come to Paris to enjoy. The owner was extremely responsive and the check in process was a breeze – even though we arrived a few hours early. We loved the neighborhood and felt like locals!

We were two adults and two children. While the kids loved the loft, had they not hung out there, the apt would have been too small for us. While the kitchen is well equipped, we didn't cook or eat in. There is really no place to sit and eat. A phone was advertised but the owner had discontinued service as we learned on arrival, requiring us to use our expensive cell phones. Apt not adequately stocked with paper towels and toilet paper. While I was concerned about heat and no a/c, the fans provided did the job even during the unusual July heat wave. The saving grace was the location, a quiet street off of Place de San Michel near the metro. Nor were we bothered by the noise of the courtyard (including trash pick-ups) outside our window. The driver that was arranged by the owner (a very nice man) for airport transfer was very helpful to have although the driver charged 10 euros more than te owner quoted. Still worth it. Bottom line, with only two people and a working phone, this is a good choice if you plan on eating meals out.
