We have rented homes and apartments, mostly in Europe, for the last 25 years. We have never rented a place so well equipped and so well thought out. The apartment was very clean, the glassware, plates and utensils were all very nice and matching with great large and matching towels and wonderful linen. On top of this we have never had hosts so attentive and so interested in making sure it was the perfect stay. Caroline and Jean, made sure our introduction to the property was timely and thorough; we were then presented with a detailed manual on the operation of the equipment plus the local stores, restaurants and covered all the logistics of getting around, etc. Also, after an 18-hour journey we were very happy to see we were supplied with more than the basic food staples and supplies so we could enjoy our first day and have time to get our bearings before having to worry about supplies, etc.

It is not a large apartment but certainly extremely well thought out, very well equipped and perfect for a family of four. In addition, we could not have found a better location, close to transportation to and from the airport (RER B) and great access to the metro (5-minute walk to two different lines crossing Paris north to south or east to west). It would be very hard to beat this property on location alone – you really get a true Parisian stay – two blocks from Notre Dame (with the faint sound of its bells), from the Sainte Chapelle, from la Conciergerie, the Ile Saint Louis and with Saint Germain and the Marais within a 10-minute walk. We were a bit concerned about the street level access but very pleasantly surprised that there is little traffic on Quai aux Fleurs. Having the river Seine across the street meant no apartment building obscuring our view, instead we enjoyed a great view of the Hotel de Ville across the river, (especially fantastic at night with its lights). This has been our best stay in any rented property and we surely have now found our home away from home in Paris.
