Apple-pie that hotel owner baked and hospitality were excellent. the owner showed how to go around the Paris efficiently. It was great help for sightseeing. Basically, I was satisfied by this guest house. It is very difficult to find out the entrance of this guest house. You should call them in order to open the entrance.

Dear 'anonymous' Just to make it clear for future guests, if you read my messages and follow the indication I send prior arrival, it's very, very easy to find our place as we are right in front of the exit of the metro station (lets say 3 steps...) And I provide the door code as doors are closed for evident security reasons! By the way, I hope you will keep 'basically' a great souvenir of your stay. Jean Etienne

Outstanding location. Tasty Indian place right out the front door, directly across from a Starbucks and market, and just a two minute walk to Grands Boulevard Metro Station. The biggest let down was the breakfast. Minimal choices and not what I had expected for the price of inclusion. Host was very kind.

I thank you for your review. At first, to avoid any confusion for future guests, metro stop in front of our building is Bonne Nouvelle, and not Grands Boulevards... Regarding the breakfast, we offer each morning a rich buffet breakfast including tea, coffee, orange juice, fresh fruits salad, a choice of French cheeses and ham, croissants from Stohrer, the oldest bakery in Paris (1730), French bread, brioche or home made cake, yoghurt and baby tomatoes... As I am always at home on breakfast time, you can ask me if you have any specific request (like gluten free bread or turkey ham...) Wishing you a great year 2019! Jean Etienne

This B&B was great! It was in a perfect location with a Metro station located just outside. Many sights were within a 15 minute walk or we could take the Metro. The room was very clean, updated, and Jean does a wonderful job of adding special little touches to make your stay enjoyable. He was a great host. He readily had maps and brochures available and even booked our dinner cruise for us. The breakfast was wonderful with fresh meats, cheeses, danishes, jams, fruit, and yogurt. We hope to stay here again!

Dear Julie I thank you for your comment Just to make it clear for next guests: we never mentioned anywhere any air conditioning... so usually no confusion for our guests... Air conditioning system is simply impossible (and illegal!) to have in a housing building like ours dating back to 1840! And you forgot to mention the 2 fans in the room to cool the air...

Lovely Suite, Extraordinary Host
Located on a commercial street in the Marais, this lovely B&B was an exceptional surprise for us. We generally avoid big hotels so we chose this instead. What an extraordinary experience! We took the the largest suite which had four large windows, handsome decor, excellent lighting, extremely clean and attractive. There was absolutely no noise, another treat. The host, Jean Etienne, could not have been more accommodating. He spotted our cab from the street, bounded down the stairs and carried our luggage up the stairs to the first floor. Every morning there was an excellent breakfast and on Sunday a wonderful rhubarb crumble made by Jean. I guess the boulangeries are closed on Sunday. All breakfasts featured fresh fruit and a good assortment of cheese, bread, pastry, etc. Each day he helped us figure out our 'programme' for the day and offered local recommendations. Several evenings, little treats were left in our room for us. This location was wonderful for exploring, close to the Metro and within a few blocks of a pedestrian street that was a dining haven. Also very close to the new hot restaurant for foodies - Frenchie's. It was very hard to say good-bye. Oh yes, our host also arranged a taxi to the airport for us and left a small portable breakfast for us due to the unholy time of our morning departure at 6:30. Highly recommend. Oh, did I mention the wonderful, modern bath/shower and gorgeous decor?

Dear Lulu I really thank you for the incredibly great review you wrote about our Guest House! I do not know how to answer, and future guests will have even higher expectations! It was a real pleasure to welcome you at home, and share 'tips and program' with you at breakfast time to make your stay as perfect and memorable as possible. It's always a pleasure to share with our guests, when you feel they really want to discover the city, the fine addresses and little secrets! I really want to make the difference with the 'big' hotels, and made our guests feeling 'at home' Please consider our Guest house as your private home in Paris: you know how warmly welcome you will be for your next stay! Wishing you the best Warm regards Jean Etienne

Superb accommodation, position and the best host!
All rooms are themed and fitted out to the highest quality - it really feels like home! Our host, Jean, could not do more to help. He would recommend (and book if necessary) restaurants, show / travel tickets and taxis. Breakfast was a delight, and finding very naughty (but nice) pâtisseries left in the room after a day in the city was very thoughtful indeed. Very highly recommended!

Amazing Parisian flat newly refurnished with luxurious furniture and services. Quiet room despite an animated and central location. Jean-Etienne was lovely, available and very convenient even with my last minute requests. Bonus: an amazing breakfast at least as good as a 5 stars hotel.

立地が良くパリ中心街に近く、近所には多数のレストランやスーパーがありました。 部屋は綺麗で、朝食も品数は多くないもののパン、クロワッサン、チーズ、ハム、ヨーグルトと、パリの定番メニューは揃っていました。 課題は鍵の受け渡しでした。宿の主人と対面で鍵を受け渡す必要があるのですが、主人が家の用事で20-23時は宿にいない、と連絡があり、旅程を早めて急いで宿に行きチェックインしました。 旅路を宿の都合で変更させられたくない方は、24時間受付のあるホテルを選ぶ方が良いでしょう。

Cher Monsieur Il est bien difficile de vous répondre, sachant que vous n'avez séjourné qu'une nuit, avez exprimé votre pleine satisfaction de votre séjour au moment de votre départ, et que même si votre compagnon restait très silencieux, il semblait lui aussi content de son court séjour... Et comme vous ne répondez pas non plus à mes appels et messages pour tenter de comprendre cet avis catastrophique, j'ignore totalement les raisons de ce 1/5! Vous aviez l'une de 2 très grandes chambres, au calme, je vous ai offert mon aide pour réserver un restaurant le soir, tout semblait donc aller pour le mieux... mystère...

Great Location! Friendly host!
We stayed for one night at My Home For You, the host Jean was very kind, friendly and helpful! We were able to check in earlier and also store our luggage after we checked out too. Jean’s place was very clean and stylish of a Parisian style, the location was great and close to everything. We were also allowed to have a short photo shoot session inside the living room for our honeymoon, which was very impressive! Will definitely come again and recommend it to my friends.

Very good BnB in an excellent location
I stayed 4 nights. Jean Etienne is an excellent host. The room was large by Paris standards, with adequate hanging space and good-sized and well-equipped bathroom. My room was at the rear and very quiet; rooms overlooking Bd Poissoniere would be noisier. There are many restaurants in the area but most are not good; Jean Etienne has excellent suggestions. I will definitely be staying there again, and I will specify a room at the rear.

Not recommended
Room : bigger then typical Paris hotel but very noisy floor and room. also, no refrigerator at room. Breakfast : there's no kind of food,even it's free Host : helpful but picky. Location : good. metro is right ahead.
Dear Guest, I thank you for your comment, but I really need to clarify some points for our future guests... Yes, the room is larger than average size in Paris, but we are a B&B in a private apartment, not an hotel. This is also the reason why we do not have fridge in the room! You stayed in Trocadero room, which is overlooking a private passage: no traffic at all, no neighbour, and never any complain about the noise! Regarding the breakfast, which is according to you 'no kind of food'... but, we offer every morning fresh bread and croissants (from Stohrer, the oldest and one of the best bakery in Paris, since 1730!), home made marmelades, fresh fruits salad, a selection of French cheese and ham, a cake or a brioche, fresh orange juice, tea (from Damman...) and coffee... You wrote that I was helpful but picky: yes, this is right, as I always assisted you during your stay, and that on departure day, you asked me to order a taxi for you in the morning, and when you came back before leaving, and as the taxi was already waiting for you, you changed you mind, and yes, I did not want to pay the fare for you...and I had to insist until you arrange by yourself with the taxi... Anyway, you are welcome if you like to try again and make the most of your stay! With my best regards Jean Etienne
