The apartment was wonderful with modern appliances and fixtures. Charming and clean! The Wifi was fast and problem free. The location could not be any better - close to everything. Marc and Mina were the best hosts I have ever encountered. They were professional, very helpful with all things Paris and very sociable and friendly. It was a joy to have a glass of wine, some cheese on a fresh baguette and listen to Marc play the piano. Each time that I visit Paris, I will make sure to book here for the apartment quality, the fabulous hosts and of course the lovely piano playing from Marc.
We will definitely go back to this wonderful Paris apartment! My husband and I were so lucky to find such a nice place to stay for our special anniversary trip. The hosts, Marc and Mina, are lovely and made us feel welcome and comfortable from the minute we arrived. The apartment was perfect for us - it has an open, spacious feel; it has clean, comfortable furnishings; and big windows and shiny wood floors - it is lovely! The location was perfect too - near the metro, museums, churches, shops, cafes. We were able to walk everywhere. The Seine river is a block away, and we especially loved walking there at night to enjoy the lights. It was a wonderful trip, and we highly recommend this apartment. We hope to come back!
For our 10 days in Paris, we wanted an apartment in a historical building from which we could walk pretty much anywhere. We found that here and so much more. This beautifully preserved 17th-century building is located on a small, quiet medieval street, and yet just minutes from historic monuments and plazas, the Seine, and the great restaurants of the 5th and 6th arrondissements. The apartment was lovingly decorated and had everything we needed; it even had a very comfortable bed -a first for us in Paris. The landlords, Mina and Marc, were welcoming, warm, and checked several times that we had everything we needed (we did!). Every detail was perfectly managed, from the initial inquiry to our arrival. And in the early evenings we were often treated to the exquisite melodies of Marc's skills as a classical pianist coming from their apartment downstairs. I'm not making this up. We will return every time we go back to Paris. It could not have been better.
Everything was great with this flat. The owners are very helpful & accommodating. The location is very central and close to lots of restaurants etc. A bit noisy at night with restaurants down the street but no big deal. Apart from that well worth staying in this beautiful flat!!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much (May 2014)! The apartment was very well appointed/decorated and exactly as described - and the location was extremely handy for sightseeing throughout Paris.
The owner (Mina) was very helpful and accommodating... we would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends and family without hesitation.
This apartment is as beautiful as the images suggest. The entrance to this wonderful stone building is large enough to take the horse carriages that used to enter in centuries past. Inside, the apartment is all light and warm wooden surfaces, with ample kitchen space. The apartment is close to Notre Dame and within easy walking distance of many attractions. We found the owner to be very friendly and accommodating and we would not hesitate to go back. Thoroughly recommended.
Everything is wonderful. The apartment is very clean and every convenience is at your fingertips. It is very comfortable. The landlords are wonderful people, and were very helpful when I needed some help. I would definitely recommend this apartment to others. Thank you Mina and Mark.
This apartment was charming! Central to several tourist destinations by foot! We walked to most of the things we wanted to see, and could hear the bells of Notre Dame (very close) chiming! Lots of cafes and restaurants close by, and grocery stores. Mina was a very great host, and met us at the apartment to let us in, and give us great tips. Excellent lift in the apartment too! Metro stop 2 minute walk. Merci Mina for sharing your home with us!
No air conditioning (which may be typical in Paris apartments). Small bed (double, not queen). We were told to leave it as clean as we found it. For nearly 2,000 a week, they can't clean it between visits? Cheap old kitchen appliances. Washer but no dryer. We were told to bring our own soaps and shampoos, which was okay but surprising. Location is great, but not the apartment. For summer visits, you'd be advised to book a hotel unless you can find a VRBO with A/C.
Fantastic location, steps away from Notre Dame, Metro/RER and restaurants and bars. While it is situated on a side street, it can be a little noisy if the windows are open. Well equipped and you canât beat the location if you want to stay in the Latin Quarter.
This was our third stay at Marc and Minaâs, and we hope to make it our little Parisian getaway. It is the perfect apartment for usâlocated on a quiet street in the best neighborhood (IMO), walkable to major attractions such as Louvre, Notre Dame, Orsay. There are countless restaurants, cafes, boulangeries, shops, and several groceries stores nearby. The apartment is bright, airy with large windows, comfortably furnished, and exudes Parisian charm. The walk-in shower was great with lots of hot water. The kitchen is well stocked, with Nespresso machine. WiFi worked great.Checkin was easy, and Mina was just delightful. She went over the workings of the apartment thoroughly, and welcomed us back warmly. Merci beaucoup Mina!
Nothing could be more perfect than a stay in this comfortable and cozy Parisian Apartment! Our hostess, Mina, went above and beyond to make our visit a special one. From the moment my husband and I arrived, Mina was there to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible for us. Merci, Merci, Mina! The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable retreat for two. Within walking distance to the Metro, Notre Dame, bakeries, markets, and restaurants galore! A quick walk to the Metro made visiting Versailles a breeze, just take the C train. If we ever visit Paris again, this would be our choice of accomodations!
Great location, and beautiful historic neighborhood. Problems included: (1) At arrival, the owner, Mina, told us not to contact her on weekends. We were there 10 days including two weekends. (2) One day the lift stopped abruptly between floors and we were trapped. When we were able to get out of the lift, we emailed Mina about the problem. Her response was, âTry it again.â (3) One night the lights in the apt went out. We contacted Mina. She came to the apt but couldnât fix the problem. She said her husband could do it, but he was asleep, and she would not wake him up. The next morning the problem was corrected by the man who came to the apt to fix the intercom system. So we were without electricity for one evening and part of the next morning. (4) The toilet seat was loose and uncomfortable to use. (5) Trash can in the kitchen had to be opened manually because the foot lever was broken. (6) When we arrived, we found dirty glasses and coffee cups in the cabinets, and we had to wash them before use. (7) One morning we had to get up early because the radiators had to be assessed. Another morning we had to had to get up early so the keys and intercom system could be replaced.
My husband and I had the most delightful stay in this quintessential Parisian apartment. The location was absolutely amazing - on a quiet street in a central and historical arrondissment. The entrance is through huge old doors - 2nd floor apartment (with elevator if needed) - felt very safe. We especially liked the hardwood floors and light from massive windows. Communication with the owners was attentive and easy - very nice people.We would recommend this apartment highly and would stay there again if we go back to Paris!
As Canadians, this apartment is what we hoped to find as a home base in Paris. The building is on a quiet street, but steps from everything. Inside, the beautiful wood floors and beam, along with the simple but elegant furnishings made it a very comfortable pied-a-terre. As itâs February and quite cold we especially appreciated the warmth when returning after a long day of walking. Equally, the quiet location made for a restful night, in a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was well equipped. Mina is a thoughtful and communicative host, greeting us on our arrival and making sure we had all we needed to ensure a wonderful week in Paris. We would recommend this property and hope to return next year!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is charming, well equipped and maintained. It was perfect for the two of us. Itâs on the second floor (3rd for US) and there is an elevator. ( We didnât mind the stairs!) The location is superb as itâs located on a small street tucked in the St. Germaine- St.Michel area near metros & restaurants & anything youâd need. We could walk everywhere & we did! Mina was there to meet us when we arrived and explained what we needed to know about the apartment. It was a lovely place to live for a week in Paris. Weâd love to return!!
What a wonderful location! The apartment was just the right size - in fact more than enough room for my husband and I. We spent our days exploring and walked everywhere. Thank you for being so hospitable and helpful!
Easy to communicate with owner. Staying here is the closest you can get to staying at your own home.Everything you need such as Restaurants,transportation etc.is close by.
