About this property
Steps from the Seine and Musee d'Orsay! Elegant 1-bedroom.
This elegant 1-bedroom apartment located between the Musee d'Orsay and the rue du Bac on a quiet, sought after street, has been decorated and renovated to a high standard with quality materials and furnishings. This property is suitable for a couple, for two individuals or for a couple and an additional adult. Situated between two courtyards, the apartment is located on the first floor (ground for UK and Europe) and therefore has high ceilings. Beautiful parquet wood floors add warmth to both rooms as do the linen and cotton shades and curtains. On your left, from the entrance, the bright living/dining room looks out onto a huge courtyard, of which one wall is almost entirely a window. A high-quality sofa bed converts to trundle beds. Across from the sofa is a table which can seat up to four guests, but which can also be folded down to seat only two. Novels, tourist guides, art books, and museum guides have been provided for your convenience.
Leaving the living room, immediately on the left across from the entrance closet, you will find a German-made compact kitchen designed to include a maximum number of appliances in a small space. There is a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, stove top, mini-oven, tea kettle, and Nespresso maker. The well-stocked kitchen has enough plates, silverware, and cookware to prepare meals as you would at home.
To the right of the entrance is the bedroom with a queen-sized bed. Wall lights on either side of the bed allow for independent reading and warm ceiling lights provide a cozy atmosphere. The bedroom looks out onto a courtyard and is extremely quiet. Across from the bed is a small flat screen TV and chest of drawers. There are over 100 channels available including the main English language channels.
From the bedroom, you access the gorgeous bathroom fitted with Duravit furniture and a beautiful large tiled shower. A niche built into the tiles will hold your shower cosmetics and there is plenty of shelf space for toiletries. The bathroom also includes an efficient combination washer dryer which does a good job drying clothes quickly.
Please contact the owner who will be glad to provide you with more details on this lovely property which, in our opinion, is in one of the best locations for your vacation in Paris.

We loved our stay for many reasons: Perfect location, safety of neighborhood, a very functional, clean, and quiet apartment, surrounding restaurants & museums, and just steps away from the Seine.
Perfect for a couple. We never tried the extra couch/bed so can't comment but the space is just not ideal for more than 2 for any length of time. It was clean, shower and bathroom and wash/dry machine were super. Walking distance to most sites and lots of fabulous restaurants. We stayed a month and it was perfect!
We stayed 10 days at this cute little apartment and it was perfect! It’s a very quiet building that is close to everything! Within a mile or two of most of the major attractions, as well as nearby metro stations. Lots of good restaurants close by and a pharmacy right down the street. Also a short walk to the Seine where we went for a picnic or two. It was great being able to do laundry as well. Not much in the way of cooking stuff, but I didn’t come to Paris to eat my own cooking, so not a problem for me! Shower worked great and plenty of hot water. Communication with owner was quick and helpful! 10/10 recommend!!!
We really enjoyed staying in this Paris apartment. I was looking for a place close to the Musee d'Orsay and it was a short walk (4 minutes). It is also close to so many other sites and things to do while we were staying in Paris. Therefore, everything we wanted to do was within walking distance.
There are lots of restaurants in the area. There is a marvelous restaurant immediately next door, but if you want to go you need to make a reservation.
This apartment is quiet and well-appointed. We had everything we needed and wanted. The biggest surprise was the shower. It had great water pressure!
I would definitely stay here again!
We greatly enjoyed our five day stay at this wonderfully located apartment. Five minutes to Musee D'Orsay and another five to the Tuileries. Five more to the Louvre. A three kms walk to the Eiffel. Just perfect for grandparents and their nine year old granddaughter. Great restaurants on Rue du Bac with a delicious bakery right on the corner. Also a fromagerie a few doors down and a convenience store just around the other corner. The flat was clean with all the accessories. (maybe the bread knife was missing.) Large comfortable bed in one room and sofa couch in main room which is not huge (could use an extra chair). Nice clean bathroom with lots of towels and a combined washer/dryer which was great to have. Facing an inner courtyard with no traffic, it was the most quiet place I've stayed at in a long time. Highly recommended.
This was my fifth trip to Paris, but it had been 16years. It was my partner's first trip since her teens, in 1979.For us, it was the perfect location for a perfect vacation!The check-in was seamless. Though, I was a bit surprised that the 'greeter' did not even ask my name, or confirm it was me. No big deal.The apartment was warm, secure, comfortable and just the right amount of space for 2 people.There was no need to communicate with our hosts (thankfully) during our stay, but leading up to our arrival our host was very attentive to our questions.Everything was generally "as advertised". Everything worked; the bed was comfortable, and it was very quiet.We will return to Paris in the future and we hope that this apartment is available when we do!For 2 people looking for a great location to explore Paris from, I would highly recommend this apartment.Thank you.B Hopkinson
The location was excellent to so many attractions. Literally 10min stroll to the Seine and another 5min to Lourve. So many options for cafe, restaurants(one next door) bakery, supermarket. The apartment is small and suitable for a couple and has all you need as you don’t spend much time there. Th washing machine is a bonus.
Great location for visiting all the Paris landmarks. The apartment is nice and made a good base for our stay. The bed is comfortable but the room needs darkening curtains bc the ambient light makes for light sleeping. The washer/dryer was a great amenity. Communication was good and made for easy check in and out. Our last night the upstairs neighbor was very loud so be aware that you are in an apartment complex but we truly enjoyed our time.
This was a nice place to stay. It’s ground floor and easily accessible to amenities and sites (the Louvre is just across the bridge). All the windows look out onto shared courtyards, so if you need privacy the curtains will have to stay closed. Thanks to the hosts for accommodating our very irregular arrival time!
The apartment was steps away from the Seine and just across the river from the Louvre. Several metro stops were near by to get around the city. Walkable distance from the Arc de Triomphe. The apartment itself was quite cozy, perfect for two adults.
Great experience. Fantastic location - near major sites, metro, RER, grocery store, and lots of cafes/restaurants. Host was very helpful. Apartment is exactly as described - small but efficient. Great for 2 adults.
Great location! Appropriate for 2-3 people, as described. Bed was very good: stable, you don’t get woken up if partner turns around. Washer/dryer worked. Little kitchen area complete. We had a great stay! Thank you!
Not quite as elegant as envisioned, but very good and satisfactory in all respects. Nice having a living room area to relax in. Shower was excellent, as was the bed, other than having to crawl in from the foot. Never used the washer, but it looks virtually new and very good. Location is really very good, quiet street just off a busier one, very near the Musee d'Orsay, Seine, Tuileries, and an easy walk to Metro.

Great location and attentive owner and manager.
This property was ideally located for a quick girls' trip to Paris. While not a large property, it had everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved walking to the museums (D'Orsay and Louvre) and in the parks and shopping (mostly window shopping). Very nice restaurants located close by. We had a small glitch on arrival due to our delayed flight but the owner and her manager were very prompt in retrieving us from the corner boulangerie and taking us to the apartment located just a short distance away.
I wanted to give a better review as the host was responsive, however our stay was fraught with issues and rather unpleasant due to the circumstances. We arrived during a record breaking heatwave, which made an apartment without air conditioning uncomfortable. There were fans, but we had to be in front of them constantly to cool down just a bit. Any movement or doing simple tasks away from the fan would make you feel uncomfortably hot and sticky. Then mid stay, the power went out twice on us. My daughter was so panicked at the thought of no power, lights or fans, that I ended up booking two nights at an air conditioned hotel so that we could cool down. So we ended up double booking rooms and spending way more than intended. We also used the washer with the pods made available and possibly because of the intense heat, the pods were compromised and they ruined our undergarments and my daughter’s favorite pants with blue stains we could not get out.
As for the greeter on arrival, she did not speak English and she was very rushed with us. She didn’t show us much of anything. She was heavily perspiring, which I took to mean she had been cleaning before our arrival and was so hot she wanted to get away asap. We had issues figuring stuff out and her explaining it would have helped. As we had trouble figuring out how to use all the doors in the building. The location is perfect, as it is close to everything. But for us, the heatwave was intolerable and ruined our stay in many ways,
Louvre & Orsay a short walk away. Eric Kayser boulangerie on the street. Nearby metro & bus stops. Comfortable bed (easier to get in and out of than I expected from photos), great shower & bathroom. Adequate kitchen with microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher, etc. Bright and sunny separate living area. Ground floor was safe & so easy for coming & going. A fantastic place for my husband & myself. We loved the apartment!!

A bit cramped
Been renting apartments in Paris for the last 10 years and this apartment was quite small. The bed was between 2 walls so in order to get out you had to slide down to the foot of the bed. My husband kept banging his arm and head against the wall during the night. The apartment had a bit of a musty odor also. The shower was the best asset to this place. Loved the area but I need a bigger place!
1. the location for visiting everything a tourist would want to see is unbeatable. We walked to everything: NotreDame, LeMarais, Catacombs, EiffelTower, Louvre, Musee Dorsay, Orangerie, Luxembourg Gardens, Tuilleries, Opera House. 2. the location for convenient dining and shopping is also perfect! wonderful cafes, markets, specialty shops, restaurants within 1-2 blocks. However, the street itself is super quiet (in a good way!)3. the apartment itself is comfortable, clean, and has everything you could need. We were 3 adults (mom and daughters) and it was perfect for us. It's not large, but it didn't feel crowded either. The apartment is on the first floor off a courtyard. We rarely saw/heard neighbors. The living area is really cute but we used the couch trundle bed and left it open all day so it was essentially a second bedroom. Both the trundle mattress and the queen bed were very comfortable. The bathroom has a good shower and a washer/dryer. Kitchen was equipped with everything you could need! We all agreed we would 100% stay in the same apt if/when we return!
L.emplacement est excellent,tout est a proximité, l'isolation sonore est mediocre mais endroit tranquile, la pression de l'eau pour la douche est excellente, endroit petit mais parfait pour 2 . Les photos sont excellente mais l'appartement est ok et propre. Beaucoup de petites affiches plastifiées pour informations mais toutes en anglais seulement. Je vous le recommande pour l'emplacement excellent
