Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Fabulous location and apartment layout. Kitchen could use improvement, i.e. serving utensils, cooking pots (although landlord brought them when we asked). Highly recommend this property!
We loved the property. A great location with fantastic light and french balconies. It was perfect for our family and exactly as advertised. The hosts were very generous. We had everything we needed! Highly recommended!
We enjoy staying in the 7th - close enough to major attractions but feels like a real neighborhood not a tourist spot.
The three bedrooms, living room and kitchen gave our family of five plenty of room to spread out. Our hosts made nice suggestions on local dining and transport and were very responsive. And yes, it really does look like the photos and yes, you really can see The Eiffel Tower.
Great choice for a family who wants a neighborhood feel in Paris.
Gregory & Paulineâs apartment was our home in Paris for 7 fantastic days.
Views of the Eiffel Tower and Champs de Mars are brilliant.
The Rodin and Military museums, among many other attractions, are within walking distance and there is a Metro station close by as well.
The apartment is huge and light and a very beautiful and comfortable space to be in.
Greg is a warm and gracious host was was very generous with great recommendations for restaurants, bars and markets.
This is the place to stay if you want to feel like a real Parisienne
Without a doubt the location of this unit was AMAZING! It was close to a very convenient metro stop on a quiet street with very quiet neighbors. It had a secure entry and felt very safe.
The living room and dining room were very lovely with large windows that opened to the street. The furniture was lovely and comfortable. There was a lack of lighting in the main area of the house. There were a few lamps around, but half of them did not work. The kitchen was adequate and well supplied with everything you would need for cooking.
The bedrooms were as presented. They were on the large size for European standards. The beds were comfortable. The master bath was very spacious. The guest bath was typical and smaller in size (once again adequate for European standards).
The owners were extremely nice, easy to work with and worked with our needs, but I didn't have the typical information from the owners that I usually expect from VRBO. If I hadn't rented in Paris before, I might have felt a bit lost.
I take my reviews seriously. I have stayed in some amazing five star rentals. This was not quite that. It is a home, not just a rental unit (at least that is what appears to be the case). The kitchen is well loved. The dishes, the dishwasher and the refrigerator are all well-used. The air conditioning is typical for Paris (it is a unit that needs to be hooked up and placed outside with a hose), though it worked well for the two main bedrooms. The third bedroom has a normal air conditioning unit, though I do not believe it was really working.
All in all, I would stay at this unit again because of the location and the flexibility of the owners, but I want to represent it well. It is loved and lived in, but I do believe it is priced adequately. If you want a five star rental with a location like this, you will probably have to pay double.
My information from VRBO shows we were supposed to be given property 470913. We were not. The apartment we had was entirely different. For example, the apartment we were given had a kitchen with a green backsplash that opened onto the living area, which is completely different than the kitchen pictured. None of the photographed furniture was present. The kitchen was poorly equipped and not particularly clean, and the refrigerator stunk of old fish. Four of the six of us have dust mite allergies. Of the five places we stayed on our trip to Europe, this was the only one where we had allergy trouble. I will be complaining to VRBO.
Wonderful location, beautiful place to come back to at the end of the day and Pauline/Gregory are fabulous. Our family of 6 could not have asked for a better place to begin to see all the sites of Paris and talking the 5 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower around 9pm for dinner was the highlight of the trip.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment! Our flight was delayed and we arrived around 9:30 pm and they were gracious enough to wait up for our arrival. On the last day, they provided us with a wonderful treat as a thank you for our stay. The unit itself is spacious and in a fantastic location close to the metro, restaurants and the Eiffel Tower. Only downside would be the master shower didn't work great, the twin beds were very small and on wheels (not meant for older children) and loud construction noise. I would definitely stay here again!
Five stars! What a wonderful three nights we had last week in this elegant apartment. All six of us had made numerous visits to Paris but the consensus was that this was the very best accommodation ever. The prewar building in its upscale 7th arr neighborhood has beautifully maintained common areas and a classic center-stair open elevator with impeccable wood finish. While the rooms were still undergoing refurbishment, none of the details like missing closet door knobs, were distracting. With lengthy views extending south over an open space to the wide Av de la Mott-Picquet, the apartment was always cheerfully sunny. And surprisingly quiet because of the double glazing throughout. Unusually for Paris, each of the three bedrooms were ensuite, with the master sharing the street view and the other two facing on to the very large center courtyard, which was never noisy in the morning. All of us had good things to say about the comfort of the beds. And it was hard to beat a morning constitutional on the endless Champs do Mar with views of the iconic Tour Eiffel.
A major feature was the number of moderately priced, highly rated restaurants within a ten-minute walk. We had some of the best meals of all time at Le Florimon and Arnaud Nicolasbut sadly had to forfeit our reservation at La Capiello,
rated 3 out of 14,647 by Trip Advisor and only an 8 minute walk.
While the nearest Metro stop is only an identical 8 minute walk , with six of us we used Uber Van, both comfortable and economical for our sightseeing. Highlights were the MoMA exhibit at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois (this two year old Ghery building is most spectacular in Paris) and the Museum of Decorative Arts next to the Louvre with the must-see Dior exhibit /.
This apartment is a real gem. Perfect for thee couples.
The location of the apartment was good. However, the apartment was only partially air conditioned and we were afraid to sit on the owner's expensive chairs. The owner pointed out all of the valuable furniture--which only increased our apprehension. Also, be aware that you need to be quiet in this apartment. As we entered the lobby to go upstairs the owner said, "Sh..." Apparently, the neighbors in the building are not thrilled with having tourists coming in and out of the apartment building. (Don't blame them--but, if this is an issue then the owner should not rent a VRBO there.) With six adults (ages 28-62; college educated, professional people) all excited about coming to Paris (four for the first time), it was a little discouraging to come "home" and have to be worried about making any noise. Needless to say, we did not spend much time in the apartment. Typical VRBO's--and this is my 7th-- provide written information--suggestions for dining, sight-seeing, transportation, how to use metro, use of tv, internet, etc, etc.--this was not provided. Not a big thing--but it would have been nice to have a defrosted and empty refrigerator/freezer (didn't know modern appliances needed defrosting). Also, it was very irritating to not have closets to hang clothing. It is not unusual for owners to keep areas of their home locked up but locking closets--really?? Yes, we could put things in drawers but some things just need to be hung up. Bottom line the location is good and the apartment is large. You are not going to Paris to sit in an apartment--but understand there are some issues.
The apartment was wonderful. It was perfect for our family of five. The kitchen had everything we needed, which made the start of the day easy. We were able to do a little laundry, which after 2 weeks in Europe came in handy. The bedrooms were spacious and everything was well appointed. It was very hot part of the time we were there -- highs in upper 90's -- and while the AC units were not completely compatible for that kind of heat, we were able to manage. The location was fabulous, just a stroll away from the Eiffel Tower and a block away from the subway. Gregory met us at the apartment. In addition to explaining everything, he gave us tips for nearby restaurants -- which led us to some fabulous meals. We would definitely rent again on a return trip to Paris.
Our family of 5 really enjoyed staying in this beautiful and roomy apartment with a great view of the Eiffel Tower. Convenient to metro stops. Gregory met us at the apartment to show us around and also gave us some good restaurant recommendations in the area.
This is a lovely property and I highly recommend others renting the apartment. Greg greeted my daughter upon arrival and toured her through the apartment and left a nice bottle of champagne! Greg was very responsive on the couple of times we contacted him. It was a bit of a stretch for three adult couples. Our adult children seemed to adapt fine to the bathroom sharing. My adult friends would not have enjoyed that. The kitchen was we'll appointed for the little we used it. No place to hang clothes or put ones suitcase except the floor. There were a lot of light bulbs out. The living room was beautiful and there was plenty of seating. The location was close to anything you could want or need. Very secure building. I would rent again.
Very beautiful flat. Great view of the Eiffel Tower and Ecole Military.
We stayed at the flat over the Bastille Day celebrations. Fireworks could be seen over the Eiffel Tower. Gregory was very kind and gave us an in depth tour of the flat and offered advice about restaurants and nearby markets. We would love to come back to this lovely home in Paris.
