Wonderful home in a great location
We arrived later than expected because we purchased Metro Navigo tickets at Charles De Gaulle to take the train into Paris. The SCNF office recommended that we copy our passport photo and attach it to the pass. That took an extra 15 minutes. The apartment is very convenient to the Metro. The home was compact and clean. Every appliance was neatly in the kitchen area. Virginia met u at the apartment and gave us a quick verbal introduction and instructions for the dishwasher and the laundry machine. It was beautiful and immaculate. There were so many good boulangeries and cheese shops within walking distance. We also went to a few bistros in the neighborhood that were minutes away that she recommended. A great location and wonderful home.

My wife and I just returned to the USA, after a wonderful 16 night stay, for our 30th Anniversary, in this apartment. It is located perfectly in the Marais area. The apartment has everything you need for your stay, including cooking utensils, pans, etc., if you want to cook. It was very clean and Pacal and Virginia, the hosts, were perfect and amazing. We hope to return soon!

Perfect little trip to Paris with a great place to stay.
I took my 17 year old granddaughter to Paris for her first time during the Christmas holidays. I have been several times to Paris. The location was ideal. We could walk to all the major sights, find buses, metro, taxis. It was amazing how much we were able to see. Plenty of great restaurants and small stores in the neighborhood. Rue des Rosiers is a charming, safe little street located in the Marais. My granddaughter felt safe enough to go out on her own and got to know the neighborhood. We were met at the door by Virgini who made us feel at home and was available for anything we needed. The property was very clean, newly renovated, beds comfortable, linens very nice. We had a wonderful time! Location, location, location always comes first for me when traveling. This did not disappoint.

The unit was just as stated. Two issues that one must be aware of which have been stated before: the noise at night and the stairs. A way to get around the noise is to close the windows and put on the portable A/C unit which is available. The stairs are a definite issue for seniors or less physical people. Four flights with luggage can be a challenge. Otherwise highly recommend as the unit is clean, well stocked and in a great location

Loved staying at this place. Location was perfect and the apartment was well maintained. Property manager was responsive and very helpful. Great shopping and eating right in the neighborhood. One caution - not for people who don’t like stairs. 4th floor with no elevator, giving a great opportunity for many mini workouts up and down the stairs. 😊

A Perfect Place in Paris
This apartment, in the heart of the vibrant Marais neighborhood, was perfect for our weeklong stay. It was clean and well stocked, and our communications with the owner both before and during the stay were effective and timely. The only drawback is the apartment's location on the 4th floor -- so if you are unfit this is not the property for you. My wife and I plan to visit Paris again in the coming years, and this definitely is where we will stay!

This is an excellent place to stay while in Paris. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance from the apartment. If travelling further the metro yellow line is only a few blocks away. The apartment is small for US standards, but it makes excellent use of the space and never felt crowded for my family. Victoria is an incredible host and was there when we arrived to go over everything in the apartment. As many have already stated there are four flights of stairs, but with all the walking you'll likely do already in Paris it's a small price to pay for a great location.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our hosts were friendly, helpful and quick to answer questions. They provided detailed, organized info about the apt. and area which we referred to several times and found helpful. They allowed us to drop of luggage early and arranged for transportation back to the airport at the end of our stay. We enjoyed the location which was busy during the day and quiet at night. The apartment was actually bigger than I expected. We did a little light cooking and the kitchen was perfectly fine for that. The portable AC did a decent job of cooling things off. Beds are comfy, including the pullout sofa bed. Quick walk to the St Paul Metro stop. Note the stairs if you have any mobility issues. We are grateful to Pascal and Virginia for their hospitality and would stay here again.

Lovely Stay in Le Morais
My husband and I vacationed in Paris to celebrate a milestone birthday. Le Morais is such a cute neighborhood. There are many great places to eat and it’s a great location for a home base. We walked to most sites but did take the conveniently located metro and RER the odd time. The apartment is cute and clean. It was perfect for two people. You do need to climb the 65 ? steps to the unit but we didn’t find it a big deal. Pascal was very approachable and helpful.

Perfect Paris Apartment
Our stay in this apartment was perfect from start to finish. We were able to drop off our luggage in the morning while Viriginia finished preparing it for us and she could not have given us a warmer welcome. The apartment is very comfortable and exactly as pictured, and it is in a fantastic location. The sofa bed is very comfortable (as is the bedroom bed), and the apartment is well equipped with a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and even a towel warmer in the bathroom. There was plenty of space for two adults and one teen. We plan to stay here again on our next trip to Paris!

The area you want to stay in Paris!
Pascal’s apartment is superbly situated - right in the heart of Le Marais. Clean, well appointed and a very short walk to Metro line 1. The apartment itself gives an awesome Parisian vibe, with classic double windows and styling. Guests may find the bedroom quite small if you’re used to larger dwellings. No issues for able bodied guests, but the ascent to the apartment is a narrow and steep staircase. All in all, would stay again!

Everything about our stay was perfect: the check-in/out process, the location (walking distance to Ile de la cite, a block from St Paul Metro stop, and steps from restaurants and and shops), and the comfortable layout of the rental.

We absolutely loved our stay in the Elegance apartment! This property is located in the heart of the lovely Le Marais area which is within walking distance of the Louvre, Saint Chappelle and the Pompidou Centre along with many other sites. The apartment has a well-appointed kitchen and is definitely spacious for its location. And, yes, there are 4 flights of stairs to navigate, but it helps work off all those lovely French pastries. There were plenty of restaurants, shops, bakeries and lots of local flavor. Virginia welcomed us with a bottle of wine and gave us guidance on the apartment and local attractions. The Elegance apartment is a must-stay if you are visiting Paris.

We just finished a 6 day stay in this fabulously located apartment. It isn’t large, but that said it is in a perfect location in the old Jewish quarter, close to the metro which we used regularly. We also were able to walk to numerous locations. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is good, the hosts were great. As many have mentioned, you will get your exercise walking up to the 4th floor, but that wasn’t a problem for us. Excellent find.

We enjoyed our stay at “Elegance” very much. Virginia welcomed us and showed us the ins and outs of the apartment. Very nice lady. It’s on the 4th (our 5th) floor up a narrow staircase, so be prepared for a little exercise. For us it was definitely worth it. And the Maria’s district was a great place to be lodged. Many good boulangeries and other amenities. Nice market on Thursday at nearby Bastilke. (Thx, Virginia, for the suggestion!)

Great "home base" for a trip to Paris
We stayed a full week in this apartment and loved every minute of it. It had everything we needed and was a great location. The street is lively and hip with lots of good restaurants nearby. We were able to walk to many museums and gardens from this location, but the metro stop was also very handy. The hosts were very responsive throughout the process, and someone was there when we arrived to show us around and make sure we were comfortable. If we return to Paris, we will definitely try to stay in this same place.

From the start this was a great experience. The property managers were very prompt and helpful with all of our questions before (and after) booking. The location is amazing, with many wonderful bakeries and options to eat close by. The check in process was very easy, we were met and walked through everything in the flat. The flat had everything we needed, and was very comfortable (including the bed). There was space to relax and work. A perfect amount of space for two people. The weather was lovely and we were able to open the windows and let the fresh air and lovely sounds in. It’s very close to the metro stop. We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience, and can’t wait to go back.

Home away from home
We had an amazing stay in Pascal’s apartment! It is small by American standards but large by Parisian standards. As others have said, there are four flights of stairs to walk up (66 steps In total). My husband and I are in our 50’s and relatively fit, so it wasn’t a problem for us but it could be a factor for others. That out of the way…it is a lovely place. The main bed is comfortable as is the sofa bed. The bathroom is very small by American standards but has everything you would need. I was shocked by how well it met our needs with so little space. The shower has good water pressure and heats up great. The location is AWESOME. Loved all the little shops, the closeness to St Paul Metro and the Carrefour and Franprix markets as well as many great restaurants. It is a benefit to be on the 1 metro line which is very central and is one of the two lines that are automated (very helpful during metro strikes). The Bastille market near by is a must (Thursday and Sunday) and we bought scrumptious pasta, fish, meat and produce to cook wonderful meals in the apartment. Best trip ever!

Charming, well-equipped
Lovely apartment in a chic neighborhood. Very quiet with windows closed - virtually no street noise. Easy walk to Metro, Seine, Isle de la Cite, shops and restaurants. Plenty of paper products, soap, shampoo etc. Nice coffee maker with pods. Fully-applianced kitchen including dishwasher (which we used) and clothes washer/dryer (which we did not). Modern bathroom with the best shower I have had in a France rental. The host was very helpful and available. Would definitely rent again. Note that it is a 4th floor walk-up (no lift), so be sure you are prepared for that.

Fabulous location, fabulous space!
Let me begin with the two things that one should consider before renting...... it is up 4 flights of stairs and it is pretty small by American standards. Beyond those 2 things, the place is fabulous. No need to mention clean, well-equipped kitchen, very comfy bed, windows allowing good light, TV with lots of English speaking channels (in case you need to catch up!), wonderful shower pressure....... and that is just the apartment. The neighborhood? OMG, very close to Metro, tons and tons of great restaurants, food stores, museums in the neighborhood, incredible walking opportunities, and more. Your hosts are wonderful. As we were celebrating our 40th anniversary, they had a lovely bouquet waiting for us. Very nice toiletries are provided and even coffee was provided for the first few days. Le Marais is the Jewish neighborhood and for us as Jews, that played a role in our choice. Several Kosher restaurants in the neighborhood and arguably the best falafal in France, maybe even Israel!, is located just down the street from the apartment. We will go back!!!

Terrically Equipped Apartment in an Outstanding Location
Two of us stayed in this very compact. But terrifically well equipped 4th floor apartment in a very charming building and neighborhood in the Marais, just a couple of blocks in different directions from the Seine, the No.1 line at the St. Paul Metro station, a shopping area in the re des Rivoli with every service needed for daily living from groceries to pharmacies and more. The neighborhood itself is filled with hundreds of shops and restaurants, all charming. The apartment, which has just been cleaned - and cleaned very well when we arrived - is small, but equipped with every appliance, utensil, and more, that you ever might need. The bathroom is tiny by US standards but has an excellent shower, great hot water supply and pressure, plenty of big towels, and a towel heater. Also a dish washer, a clothes washer/drier, and lots of cook ware and eating ware. The queen size bed was very comfortable. I would guess the apartment was completely redone from top to bottom about 10 years ago and done very well. There were two of us and we were very comfortable. Three or four could be doable but it would be very tight. The queen sized bed fills the tiny bedroom entirely and the fold out couch is a large love seat in size. Pascal, the owner, is very accessible, personaable, and helpful. He met us at the apartment and spent all the time we needed on any questions we had. Aside from recommending two as the ideal number of occupants, I would offer two other pieces of advice. The apartment faces a narrow but active cobblestone street, which sometimes can be noisy. Both of us slept very well every Night of our eight day stay. But I’m a light sleeper and needed high quality ear plugs which I brought with me. My second advice is to keep in mind the building is very charming in part because it's old. It’s on the fourth floor, there is no elevator, and the stairs are quite narrow, steep, winding and there is s narrow open view from top to bottom. These are not stairs for the faint of heart - but I will say I am 70, I walk with a cane because I have balance problems, and I have a bad fear of heights. But I made it up and down the stairs a number of times a day, and I’d do it again. Be aware the stairwell lights are on a timer and all go off at once. If one of you is slow, the other should go ahead and stand next to the light switch on each landing All in all, , we had an excellent stay at this trrrific apartment. Thank you, Pascal!

We spent an awesome week in Pascal's apartment. Our party of 4- 2 adults in small 1 bedroom with a pocket door. It had nice size hanging closet w shelfs. And 2 kids (8 and 10) on the pull out couch in living room (mattress was much thicker then ones I have seen before-comfortable) . It was quiet at night -we always had the windows closed and AC on - the street below Rue des Rosiers has higher end clothing stores. Only work trucks and garbage trucks in am would wake us up. The apartment had free standing on wheels window AC unit (the french window doesn't close all the way because the exhaust pipe) but the heavy black out curtains-allowed the unit to remain cool. (AC is a must -our friends stayed down the street with out AC -and they complained about it!! Unit has washer and dryer-a must good size. Small refrigerator /sink /small electric stove and Nespresso coffee machine. Bath room with nice size shower. Easy walk 2 blocks away to the St Paul Metro station- easy travel to all sights. (very safe area). It also has bakery and grocery store in same area with some nice restaurants close by. It easy walk to Hotel de Ville and Modern Museum. Pascal helped arrange private transfer from airport -driver met us outside customs took us to his parked mini van and to his apartment for 85 Euros for 4 of us. The driver had directions to help us into the apartment too. Pascal then met us at the apartment just after we arrived w driver and went through in and outs of apartment.

Great stay in Marais!
We stayed here for 17 days and LOVED it's charm and convenience. This property was exactly as advertised. Our host, Pascal, met us at the apartment and explained our stay in great detail. He was easy to speak with and could be contacted 24 hours. The apartment was very comfortable for two of us. There was a small kitchen area, Nespresso coffee machine, electric kettle and frother. Sink, cooktop, small fridge and microwave with plenty of dishes, flatware, pots available. Washer/dryer combo with detergent provided was a bonus for our 17 day stay. Small adequate bath with shower only. Queen bed, small closet. Cable tv with many English stations in living room. A free (to most countries) international/local phone available! Free Wi/Fi! Location for groceries/bakeries/sweets/shopping right down stairs. Lively neighborhood below. Husband used earplugs for late night revelers, early morning trash pickup. Metro 5 minutes away on busy Rue Rivoli. Pascal was helpful with suggesting activities and restaurants both personally and with a helpful compendium in the apartment. Be aware! There are 65 steps up to the apartment. NO ELEVATOR! Not for anyone in bad health. Pack light! Large luggage not easy to transport up the stairs. Host Pascal arranged for our pick up from the airport to the apartment about an hour away. Reasonable rate was worth not dealing with taxis or Metros upon arrival.

Delightful apartment on the most charming street
The apartment surpassed our expectations. It looked exactly as pictured. The bed was comfortable, the apartment was well equipped and it was on the most charming street in all of the Marais (in my opinion). It was absolutely perfect for 2 adults as a home base while we explored the city. It was an easy walk to many locations, and the subway was 2 blocks away which we appreciated at the end of long days when our feet were tired from sightseeing. Pascal was a pleasure to work with and he made several excellent restaurant recommendations. He was happy to answer any questions and it felt like we were in the hands of a true professional. The apartment was on the 4th floor which was no problem at all for us, but just something to note if you have difficulty walking up stairs. We will definitely work with Pascal again on our next trip to Paris!

Fabulous stay in the heart of Paris
The apartment and host, Pascal, were exactly what we needed for a week getaway in Paris. The apartment is exactly as pictured and the location is perfect. In the heart of Marais and a couple of minutes to the metro, we couldn't have asked for anything better for our first time in the city. Pascal helped us with several amazing restaurant recommendations (Racine & Robert and Louise) and some really cool bars (Societe and Experimental) and we stumbled into a few good ones of our own (Jaja and Sherry Butt). Do yourself a favor and eat al Le Relais de l'entrecote (no reservations - just show up). The apartment has everything you need, it's cozy and sufficient for 2. We appreciated the Nespresso coffee in the mornings and the small fridge to hold the milk and cheeses we bought for the week. We even used the washing machine & dryer to freshen up towels and wash a couple of clothes. Bed is queen, which we are used to, and the curtains block out the morning light if you want to sleep in. The building is very secure and felt very safe at any hour. Very little non-sleeping time was actually spent there since we were there to take in the sites! Those 4 flights of stairs will make your legs burn but also make the morning pain chocolat that much more satisfying! When site seeing keep in mind that most of the museums/sites that sell tickets offer discounts to partner museums with proof of entry....so keep the ticket to the d'Orsay and use it for a discount at the Opera (which is a must see), etc. Thank you Pascal!! We are dreaming of coming back again!

great location, great property!
We stayed for 9 nights during the fall and really enjoyed this apartment. The fact that it is on the 4th floor of an old traditional French building in the heart of Le Marais added to the charm, but might make the 4th floor apartment an issue for those with medical issues. The St. Paul Metro stop is a few minutes walk; from there all of Paris is easily accessible, we attended museums, sightseeing destinations, expositions (the Salon Du Chocolat!) and a philharmonic performance, and felt safe and very at home without a car. Pascal was very friendly and helped orient us to the area. Highly recommended, we will return here!

Beautiful and conveniently located
This was our first home away experience and we had a good welcome and great recommendations from the patron. The property was clean, functional and lovely. Our daily needs were met with regards to towels, bedding, kitchen appliances and even washer. Pasqual even provided soap and shampoo, washer soap and espresso coffee pods for the machine We will definitely book with Pasqual again Blake and Elena Oakville Ontario Canada
