A wonderful week in a quiet neighborhood in Paris
My husband and I had a very enjoyable week in this lovely studio apartment on our first trip to Paris! We appreciated all the conveniences that the studio is equipped with including a small refrigerator and microwave, the luxurious bathroom and the close proximity to numerous metro stops. It is situated in a quiet neighborhood in a secluded, private alleyway with lots of foliage!

Perfect location for our week in Paris! Within blocks of three Metro stops, making it easy to travel throughout the city. Restaurants and groceries nearby. Loved the small kitchen area and lovely view of green alley outside. Very quiet space and perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Hosts were super accommodating to our needs. We loved this apartment!

Have already recommended to friends
I stayed in this comfortable little flat in the middle of February, and the online description was still true: it was a lovely, little oasis in a green courtyard. I bet it's even more incredible further into the non-winter seasons. It would be hard to improve on the location: within easy walk of three metro stations and of 'Le Marais'. The neighborhood feels safe and lively, and there are beautiful restaurants nearby. Catherine and Serge were lovely and helpful.

Perfect hideaway
This is a lovely little studio, very clean and very well stocked if you want to cook. This is not a tourist area so you’ll have peace and quiet, yet a friendly interesting neighborhood.
Easy to get around with the Metro just steps away..

Feel Like a Local
I really liked this property. It is located in a locked private walkway that is the exactly what you would hope a small flat in Paris would be. Picturesque cobble stone, architecture, flowers and shrubs. The apartment had cookware, cutlery etc. Everything we needed to fix a small meal. The beds very so comfortable I wanted to take it home. The location was great! Lots of subway stops nearby and a beautiful promenade all the way to the Bastille, and the cost was much less than I was expecting to pay. I visited Paris in 2011 and stayed in a smaller flat and still paid more for it. Overall, I would rate it excellent!

Loved the hidden alley off the Main Street. Apartment was clean with everything we needed. We had great sleeps. Catherine was very responsive. The neighbors were kind and helpful. The neighborhood felt safe. We enjoyed watching the bocci ball players. Lots of great restaurants in close vicinity. I recommend JJ Beaumarchais (make a reservation) and tapas place called Saint Sebastian.
