Paris Accommodation - 2 Bedroom Rental in Saint Michel, Latin Quarter - Panthéon (PA-2844)

although the apartment owner seemed very pleasant in the 10 minutes that we spent with her before and after our stay the apartment was very disappointing. it was old and not clean at all and cluttered. the second bedroom had a very small, child's bed which was very disappointing. If we left the windows open for ventilation the street noise was awful, if we closed it the apartment was stuffy.

Couldn't possibly been happier there. It is all excellent. I only put 4 stars for quiet, because of course there are city sounds at the corner of the metro and the local outdoor market!, what else what you want?

We have all vowed to come back.

We loved the location and the size and view. Three place felt very much like a "home" and not a rental property. It could not get any more convenient to the Metro, and the shops in the neighborhood had everything we could have wanted.

There is a market across the street there data a week, which made it easy to pick up food for snacks and supper.

The apartment is exactly the same as the pictures provided and everything was as expected. The owner was there on time to greet us, very charming, gentile and helpful. It was our second stay there, and she had remembered our first visit a few years earlier.

Whilst the apartment is situated in a busy area, the windows have double glazing so traffic noise is muted and the location and views from the apartment make up for any noise coming from within the building (the building is in excellent condition, and beautiful but old - noise from the upstairs apartment is simply unavoidable).

A metro station is outside the front door, and there is a market every second day in the square in front of the building as well. In addition, there are two bar/cafes, a bakery, a wine shop, a cheese shop and a fruit stall all in the square beneath the apartment.

There are also three supermarkets (small but completely adequate as is the case in Paris) around the corner. It is 5 minutes walk to the Seine and Notre Dame, and the Pantheon (a couple of minutes walk away) can be seen from the balcony. The building also has a lift which is helpful if anyone cannot walk the 5 flights of stairs.

This is a premium apartment and is full of the owner's personality - it contains some beautiful traditional french furniture and has original artworks throughout, is full of natural light and has views over many beautiful Parisian rooftops.

The apartment has enough comfortable seating in the lounge room for 6 people, and both beds are also very comfortable. There is a fold out sofa bed in the lounge room - only one person slept on it and the mattress was quite normal by Parisian standards (not very thick). Visitors to this apartment should also be aware that there is a hand held shower over the bathtub - some may find it awkward and not what they are used to. However it should be stressed that these are definately not complaints, only observations.

Overall we felt this was an exceptional place to stay when in Paris and were very happy that we were able to stay there again. The owner is an utterly charming Frenchwoman and a delight to talk to.

Thank you for the opportunity to write this review, and for the stay in this apartment. Sue C, Australia.

The apartment was amazing, and the location was perfect! If I ever return to Paris I would without a doubt stay at this apartment again!

The apartment is good, with some problems related with the old buildings existing in this area (5eme Arrondissement) in Paris, like: restroom separated from bathroom, only one elevator in the building (it broke twice) etc.

The localization of the apartment is excellent, the owner was very helpful, etc. We liked the apartment and we can recommend it to other people.

We were very pleased with the apartment - it definitely met our expectations (and hopes). The photographs on the website gave an accurate impression - airy, well-appointed, clean and very 'Parisian'. Everything worked. The location was even better than we envisaged. The owner was pleasant, courteous and helpful.

We very much enjoyed our week in Paris, with this lovely apartment being a key part. Would definitely recommend it to others.

We liked the apartment very much. The location was amazing. It was clean, good space and light, nice views. It looked just like it did in the photos. The only complaints were that the pillows were very, very soft and the apartment could have used a few more blankets. Otherwise it was great.

I found the [Paris] apartment to be as represented, the owner was very helpful. I would consider using your services again and would recommend it to others.

We were exceptionally happy with our stay in Apartment PA2844 on Bvd Saint-Germain in September 2007. The owner was delightful and her apartment was full of character. Thank you for a hassle free, memorable holiday in Paris.

The apartment we rented in Paris in May was great. It was clean, comfortable very central to cafes and transport. The owner was helpful and we had a wonderful week.

We liked the apartment [in Paris] very much. It was conveniently located and very pretty.

The apartment was exactly as described and lovely. We truly enjoyed leasing an apartment as opposed to staying in a hotel. We were able to enjoy time with friends and business associates in "our own space" as opposed to a restaurant or hotel lobby.

The apartment was just perfect. The location was great. The view was lovely. The owner quite pleasant and accommodating. We would gladly stay there again.

The apartment was charming and spotless. [The owner] was great. We had a wonderful time...
