GUEST COMMENTS - ID# 224

Sep 26, 2014:  Colleen K. - Evergreen Park, IL for 6 nights

Comments:The quality of the linens was fine but the quantity could have been more generous. Two more towels would have been good. And because I am sure your clientele is mostly American, I am sure that others would also appreciate a flat sheet to use in addition to the duvet. It was unexpectedly warm during our visit -- way too warm for a comforter -- so it would have been nice to find a sheet stored with the extra pillows. The PDF of instructions sent in advance was very clear, but it would be nice if you could provide a map showing the closest taxi stand, grocery store, ATM, covered market (Rouge Enfant?) to make the first day a little easier. (We left some info in the guest book.) There are three small issues with the floor: a few of the boards just over the threshold into the bedroom are loose, giving way almost a half an inch when stepped on(these are the boards that are at a 45-degree angle to the boards in the main room, right in the center of the doorway on the bedroom side; if someone steps right on them, they might give way. In the main room. in the middle of the floor is a long split in one of the boards (parallel to and in front of the couch/living room bed) which might give someone a splinter if it isn't repaired or sealed; and in the kitchen, a few nailheads have popped up. We weren't barefoot much, but you might want to repair these few small flaws before someone gets a cut foot or other issue.

Jul 29, 2014:  Devra B. - Los Angeles, CA for 8 nights

Comments:i might use another property on left bank another time, but location was excellent. Tell cleaning person not to use aromatic sheets in dryer...some of us are allergic or sensitive. Recommend blue balls instead. There are no stairs -- revise statement to indicate that. Going in and out first times tricky. unit is very quiet, faces courtyard with twin building across. At this time of year, very quiet. Neighborhood ideal for gay men.

Jun 20, 2014:  Judith M. - Chevy Chase, MD for 7 nights

Comments:There was some building project going on on the bottom floor in the courtyard that had loud saws going at night and over the weekend. In addition, across the way an apartment was being renovated (which didn't cause too much noise but which posed a privacy problem). Way too many tenants (other tourists, I imagine) spoke too loudly. One night the courtyard light was turned on in the middle of the night (3 am) and there was loud banging. No street noise to speak of, though. This is a terrific apartment in a terrific place! Shower might have been cleaned a bit better (mold by the door) but it wasn't objectionable. Great to have washer/dryer. It would have been good to have a working coffee pot (the cafetiere had mismatching top and bottom and filter papers were there but no holder). What would have been great would be to have a guide in apt notebook for renters that tells you where the nearest grocery store is (especially one open on Sundays), the hours of nearby boulangeries (which ones open early and on Sunday morning), restaurants open Sunday nights, and some of the local sites (the gardens in the National Archives were wonderful as was the Carnavalet Museum).

Jun 08, 2014:  Kishna & William W. - Austin, TX for 3 nights

Comments:The only issue worth mentioning would be that the windows face a common central open area. So if you opened them, you could smell food, smoke, or other smells in the apartments who had their windows open. The bathroom often smelled like smoke due to the above apartment people smoking late at night.

Apr 21, 2014:  Ruth B. - Newton, MA for 6 nights

Comments:Bath room light all glare not useful for make up. No reading light except in bed. General experience was wonderful.

---

Feb 18, 2014:  Cecilia A. - Portland, OR for 6 nights

Comments:Sofa bed wasn't the most comfortable, but the other bed was fine. Perhaps more detailed TV instructions. It was hard to find an English channel.

Nov 25, 2013:  Mitch G. - Santa Monica, CA for 8 nights

Comments:Small things: ARRIVAL INFORMATION - The information provided by VIP for arrival was slightly confusing regarding "badge" "color of badge" "signage on door" when it is actually a plastic "key", "blue", "welcome/goodbye" doormat. CONDITION OF THE APARTMENT The apartment is in a wonderful location in a good secure building. The space is compact but comfortable and quiet. The appliances all work perfectly, including the washer/dryer. The decor is spare yet tasteful. We're very glad we chose this particular ap

Nov 03, 2013:  Mitch G. - Santa Monica, CA for 5 nights

Comments:I would recommend that the owner takes a look at the inside front door handle. It has come loose and one day actually fell off with the weight of pushing the door open (the door is heavy and scrapes on the tile and slams shut each time.) Everything works great. For my own sense of privacy, I wish that the curtains on the windows could be made opaque for night when people in apartments across the courtyard have their lights on and one can see into their places even with thin fabric - making me feel that one can see into this apartment also. All in all it's a lovely apartment in a fantastic location with new and fully working appliances (a great washer/dryer!) My husband and I have rented it for Nov 25-Dec 3 and I am looking forward to our return.

Oct 18, 2013:  Manny P. - Richmond Hill, ON Canada for 5 nights

Comments:Couch could be updated with a slip cover, as it is starting to wear. The front door did not fully lock with the dead bolt. Needs to be corrected. Appears it is due to door sagging slightly.

Sep 14, 2013:  Luther And Virginia M. - Jackson, MS for 7 nights

Comments:Everything works great. For my own sense of privacy, I wish that the curtains on the windows could be made opaque for night when people in apartments across the courtyard have their lights on and one can see into their places even with thin fabric - making me feel that one can see into this apartment also.

May 26, 2013:  Mary B. - Yellow Springs, OH for 10 nights

Comments:I did send a written comment about the following when I sent the keys back: It was disconcerting that the window in the bathroom did not have any type of curtain or covering since anyone looking out the window from the apartment directly across the inner courtyard and one story up would have a direct view right into the bathroom.

Comments:It would have been nice to have a map to nearest grocery stores.

Mar 28, 2013:  Dr Juliet Foster & M. - Cambridge, United Kingdom for 5 nights

Comments:Sofabed could do with replacing, as it is looking a bit shabby. Everything else was wonderful. All communication with VIP was great, and the location of the apartment could not have been better. Thank you - we didn't want to come home...

---

Feb 22, 2013:  Ms Siobhan C. - Cornubia, QLD Australia for 7 nights

Comments:Great all round. I didn't use the washing machine or cook top so can't comment on these but everything else was excellent. The lift went down on Sunday afternoon but was operational again the next day (I only need the lift for my luggage anyway). The E I found the gripes of some of the previous visitors in the comment book very disappointing. I don't know if it would work but perhaps leaving some information on the fact its not a hotel and therefore your toilet paper, towels and sheets won't be changed

Jan 25, 2013:  Susan B. - University Park, MD for 4 nights

Comments:The main bed was extremely comfortable with nice linens. The 'sofa bed' in living room is more of a futon style - still very comfortable, but it would be better if that was clear in the unit description. The curtains on the windows were not really funct We had a great time and loved the apartment. (The comments above are just a few small things that would have made it even more perfect.)

Jan 04, 2013:  Kayla F. - Houston, TX for 5 nights

Comments:I have rented from Vacation in Paris two or three times now and each time has been WONDERFUL! Excellent rates and apartment locations. Excellent interiors and level of cleanliness. Will continue to rent with VIP. ID #224 is in great centrally located pedestrian are.

Dec 30, 2012:  Molly S. - Millington, NJ for 5 nights

Comments:We had trouble locking the apartment from the outside - it was very difficult to get the lock to work.

---

Dec 10, 2012:  James P M. - Waveland, MS for 10 nights

Comments:We were there for 10 days and there were 2 hand towels, 2 bath towels and two rolls of toilet paper. We bought paper towels and toilet paper. Maybe the supplies should match the amount of days stayed there? This may be an American thing but we would like a top sheet along with a bottom sheet. I read the guest book. It goes back two years and the same complaint comes up over and over again. There are no curtains on the bathroom window???? The deadbolt did not work and the front door hit the floor when opened and closed.

Oct 14, 2012:  Marcella Q. - Hendersonville, TN for 6 nights

Comments:We really enjoyed our trip and the apartment size was perfect for my group of 3. That shower was the best I have ever used. I must give low marks on the comfort of the beds though. The mattresses on the bed and the fold out sofa were incredibly hard and

Sep 16, 2012:  Leonard T. - Greenwood Lake, NY for 5 nights

Comments:HARD TO FIND A GROCERY STORE IN THIS NEIGHORHOOD !!!!!!! SHOULD OF BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE TOWELS. THE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE APARTMENT WOULD BE HELPFUL. LIKE, TOWELS, NO COFFEE POT,LOCAtion of nearest grocery store.

Sep 05, 2012:  Fifi L. - Strathfield, NSW Australia for 3 nights

Comments:The apartment is neat and cosy, handy location and the bed is comfortable. Would have been nice to have some tea towels.

---

Jul 20, 2012:  Leslie L. - Evanston, IL for 4 nights

Comments:- the place could have been cleaner - there needs to be a shade placed over the bathroom window

---

Jun 16, 2012:  Elaine & Albert K. - Victor, NY for 10 nights

Comments:Floors, especially underneath furniture, could have been a lot cleaner. Linens and towels should be increased for clients staying more than a week. Two sets of each would have been nice. Other than that, we were pleased with the size, furnishings, kitchen utensils, dishes, glasses, silverware (all IKEA brand) were great. The bathroom was outstanding. No complaints. We especially want to thank you for the smooth process, the referral to airport transportation to and from, and quickly responding to our email sent the 3rd day of our stay.

---

Jun 13, 2012:  Karen C. - Oak Park, IL for 3 nights

Comments:One small towel per adult is not sufficient One evening there was a party in the building and it was very loud until late into the night. Not a big deal but you made a point of saying that we should keep the noise level down ourselves. Overall - very good

---

May 23, 2012:  Eugneia M. - Waverton, SYDNEY Australia for 6 nights

Comments:The english speaking taxi driver in the notes was very helpful. The service was punctual and the cab driver helpful. The apartment was a little hot and perhaps a fan for the bedroom would help. The fan was good but there was no where to put it in the bedroom. The aprtment was well equipped for our needs. Everything worked. There were clear instructions for everything. We had to buy soap as the issued amount was insufficient for a week , so that could be better organised. Soap powder for the washing machine could be provided too. We liked your correspondence and keeping us informed . The key exchange worked well . Your directions were helpful as well. A good service. We thought it was good service. I am happy to have my name as a reference. but not an email address.

---

May 02, 2012:  Catherine S. - , Australia for 3 nights

Comments:A map and detailed instructions from the railway station would have been very helpful. Sufficient towels would have been much appreciated. Otherwise it was terrific. Thank you for the warnings re. pickpocketing. We had an attempted pickpocketing on the metro trying to get to the apartment. Overall, a great little apartment and great service, thank you.

---

Apr 14, 2012:  Richard C. - Perkinsville, VT for 6 nights

Comments:Bruno, who was our contact person, should get extra credit for coming over in a timely way and fixing a few small things. We LOVED having the key and map in hand before we left. Keep it up. Having a washing machine/dryer combo in the apt was great.

Mar 27, 2012:  Amy N. - Oswego, IL for 4 nights

Comments:Provide 4 pillow cases for the 4 pillows.

Jan 12, 2012:  Tim K. - New Haven, CT for 5 nights

Comments:Kitchen had 1 drinking glass and no turner. Definitely need some more drinking glasses and a couple rudimentary accessories (like a turner/spatula). Was no dish soap - I had to purchase. No iron in apartment even though it was advertised. Couch felt like it was going to fall apart at any point (the arm rest seems very flimsy). There is no way this apartment sleeps 4 adults unless people are sleeping on the ground. The pull-out couch is not big enough and generally there is not enough space to really fit 4 adults. Further, there are only 2 towels included (and a note that extra towels will incur a charge). If it is good for 4 people - why are there only 2 towels included? Generally a nice place that needs some new accessories in the kitchen, an iron and possibly a new couch. Also - toilet paper and dish soap should be included as those are household items and not personal items per se. Last, it should not advertise being large enough to sleep 4 adults. But overall I was very happy with the place at its price point.

Jan 09, 2012:  Saoirse M. - Portland, OR for 3 nights

Comments:The whole experience from booking to arriving at the apartment was fantastic. It was great to have the keys and all the information before we even left the US. The apartment was very clean. Beds very comfortable. Shower was great. Only issue was that there was no blind or curtain on the bathroom window and it was overlooked by another apartment. Kitchen was well stocked except for water glasses and a teapot. Did not use the TV. Wi-Fi worked well. Loved having free calls to the US. We had a late flight and wished there was someplace to leave our luggage. We could hear people going up and down the stairs and in and out the courtyard but nothing above normal except in the bathroom we could hear next doors disco music and washing machine. I am not complaining, this is apartment living, but there are warnings in the apartmant info about noise and complaints etc. The front door stuck on the bottom which made noise when we left and arrived each time. We were on vacation so coming home at 1am on a weeknight we couldn't do anything about the door noise. We had a great trip and I would recommend this apartment and your company to friends and Family. Thank you.

Comments:Needs better lighting in bathroom and livingroom.

Nov 26, 2011:  James & Suzanne N. - Garden Grove, CA for 8 nights

Comments:The living room sofa was not comfortable because the cushions on the back were sort of slouchy and did not fit the sofa. We could not lean back and relax on the sofa. The bed seemed really small. I knew that it was smaller than what we are used to though. The bed pillows are too large and too soft. I should have brought my own. I liked the free long distance and the Wi-fi. The TV worked fine. Although, we did not use it much. The kitchen equipment was fine. I liked having a washer and the heated towel rack was great. I think this apartment had the best shower we've had so far. It is always nice to have an elevator. The area is interesting. However, it is a bit of a hike to and from the nearest metro. There was some indoor, outdoor noise in the early morning hours on the weekend. On weekdays it was very quiet.

Oct 16, 2011:  Arna C. - Bowie, MD for 7 nights

Comments:The location is terrific, the apartment less so. Positive: Apartment was clean and well-kept, bed was very comfortable. Plenty of hot water, modern bathroom and kitchen (kitchen could be better supplied with cooking utensils) Negative: Furniture is cheap and uncomfortable. Not enough light in living room, need some floor lamps. Could not figure out how to turn on lights over stove. Internet did not work when we arrived on Sunday, nor did the television. Called the manager (Bruno), who said he knew what was wrong and would come over to fix it. He didn't come until Tuesday. We tried to connect to the internet following the garbled directions in the binder and knocked the phone offline as a result. He fixed the internet, and said he had ordered a new remote for the TV. It didn't arrive until Wednesday. This all should have been done before we got there. In addition, the instructions for using the TV and internet are very confusing. The towels are horrible - small and rough. We were supplied one tiny bar of soap, had to buy more. The list of recommended restaurants was missing from the information binder. I also think you should have a list of other necessary resources, such as nearby grocery stores and pharmacies. We were only supplied with one garbage bag. There was a group of young people staying in the building who were quite noisy at night. On Friday night they had a large, loud party. I know you have no control over that, but it was ironic, because all of your information cautions clients to be very quiet as it is a residential building. We really liked the neighborhood, but I would not stay in this apartment again. I might try one of your other apartments. There were several that looked more appealing, but were not available.

Sep 15, 2011:  Rodney W. - Ft Lauderdale, FL for 6 nights

Comments:Great apartment, on a nice quiet street, but literally 2 to 3 minute walk away from exciting shopping, cafes and night life. The apartment was very clean and orderly. I would definitely use it again and recommend to others. I also used Vacation in Paris to book transfer from the airport to the apartment, so the whole trip went on without a hitch. Having the keys before I left the US meant that I could arrive and department at a time that was convenient for me. I have rented Paris apartments before, but using a local Paris agent. Using Vacation in Paris is much more convenient and made planning very easy. Will recommend VIP to all my friends.

Aug 24, 2011:  Heather F. - Toronto, ONT Canada for 7 nights

Comments:Fabulous apartment and super nice management staff. It was a great value and I wrote the following rating on Trip Advisor: This apartment is close to everything! Shopping, restaurants, Metro, and even Starbucks. It is great for sleeping because of the windows. I will definitely recommend and use your service in the future. Your staff was very nice and helpful with guiding me on the best apartment for my needs and I was very grateful for their suggestion! You have an outstanding team!

Aug 07, 2011:  Grigoriy B. - San Francisco, CA for 7 nights

Comments:Very good appartment in very good area of Paris. There are only 5 minutes away from the metro station -> Hotel de Ville and 15 minutes away by walk from Cite. There are a lot of bakeries and other stores and restaurants in the vicinity, so there is no problems with breakfast and dinners. The appartment is remodeled in accordance with the modern standards. Our family stayed there for 7 days -> two sons (18 and 14 years old). Kids should share the sofa bed. Probably, the appartment is small for 4 people, but if you viist Paris you mostly stay outside and only come back to sleep. I think that in the old part of Paris where the appartment located - Marais - all the apprtments are relatively small in comparison with US, but it is not a problem. You get the real spirit of life in Paris of XIX century staying in this part of Paris. The service of the Vacation in Paris is awsome. I addressed them few times before trip and always recieved very good and complete answeres on my questions. Would strongly recommend Vacation in Paris for those who is planning to visit this beautiful city.

Jul 08, 2011:  Beverley R. - Eagle River, AK for 3 nights

Comments:The apartment was exactly as depicted in the photographs on the website. It was very centrally located and proximity to landmarks and tourist sites was great. Just a couple of blocks from Hotel de Ville. The elevator worked great. Apartment was very clean. Great shower -- great water pressure. Beds and bedding comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen at all. An apartment on an upper floor can see into the bathroom, where one dries after exiting the shower. A textured film could be applied to the window glass in #224, which would alleviate this inconvenience for modest Americans. Not a huge issue, however.

Jul 02, 2011:  Gary F. - Aspley, QLD Australia for 5 nights

Comments:Beautiful location. All we needed.

---

Jun 29, 2011:  Bronwyn & Philip G. - Morphett Vale, SA Australia for 3 nights

Comments:The information provided stated that ID#224 was next to the door - we couldn't find this. The information states that the apartment sleeps up to 4 adults - we felt that this would be extremely cramped and not suitable. The apartment was compact and comfortable.

---

Jun 06, 2011:  Adelaida R. - Fort Lee, NJ for 7 nights

Comments:1. It would be more practical to have 2 single beds in the bedroom to provide an option for people who would prefer to sleep separately. 2. A cutting board and better bread and other knives would enhance the usefulness of the kitchen. 3. A more reliable Internet/WiFi connection would be a plus.

---

May 17, 2011:  Kellye G. - Burlington, ONT Canada for 5 nights

Comments:Loved the location - found it challenging to source a local grocery so would suggest a listing of local places to pick up some fresh fruit and the necessaries Just that we loved our stay in Paris and were very pleased with how our dealings with your company went

---

May 04, 2011:  Gary A. - San Antonio, TX for 13 nights

Comments:No bottle of wine - disappointing. We had to ask for 2nd set of towels for a 13-day stay, but they were delivered promptly. Construction work in another apartment made it noisy - by understandable. Bed was fabulous, but sofa couch not so much. Especially for 2 adults. We never could get the WiFi to work. This was especially disappointing. TV access to English stations never worked well. The location, comfortable bed and great shower were the highlights. We very much valued the transactions with credit cards and getting the key in advance. Made the experience far better than others we have used. Thanks so much - we will definitely recommend you to friends and use your service again in the future.

Apr 15, 2011:  Barbara P. - Greenfield, MA for 6 nights

Comments:The VIP staff were extremely helpful, informative and pleasant. The apartment is in an outstanding location and with a wonderful neighborhood character. The prices generally in Europe, for those of us coming from the US, are steep, but I can't say that the price for this apartment was out of the norm for Paris or particularly Le Marais for a family of four, and by preparing many meals in the apartment we were able to cut costs. Having the washer/dryer in the apartment was very, very convenient. Everything in the apartment was clean and worked as it should, including Wifi and appliances. The beds were comfortable. The directions sent to us before arrival and those left for us by the manager upon arrival were comprehensive and helpful. I would strongly recommend both this apartment and VIP to a friend and hope some day to return as well with my family. Thank you very much for providing this great service and the peace of mind that went with it. Not only are you well organized, but everyone with whom I communicated in the VIP office was always so friendly and helpful. We all loved staying in the Trendy Marais apartment!

---

Apr 04, 2011:  Jessica T. - Oakland, CA for 7 nights

Comments:The apartment is great and we had an amazing time. The few things it could benefit from are better towels/more of them and some rugs on the floor to prevent noise (for the down stairs neighbors). They didn't complain, but it seemed like it would be annoying. The apartment shouldn't really be recommended for four people because of it's size and the amount of hot water for showers. You guys were great and I would def. rent from you again. Thank you!

Dec 25, 2010:  Christine H. - New York, NY for 7 nights

Comments:It was my first time renting an apartment. Overall, the cost was about the same as a 3 star hotel. However I missed having a conceirge or front desk staff to ask questions. I also missed having maid service, such as changing the towels and linens. As such, I don't think I'd rent an apartment again - and would only do so if the cost was much less than that of a hotel. I also like the security of a hotel, and would have liked the apartment to have a safe deposit box for our passports, etc. The apartment came with only one roll of toilet paper, no paper towels, and no garbage bags. As per the instructions, we were told to 1) take out the trash before leaving (which we did, but had to buy garbage bags in order to do so), 2) wash all the dishes before leaving (which we did, but I think it's gross as I don't like the idea that the people before us had washed the dishes versus a cleaning service - who would have done a better job). Also, it was difficult to find a store locally that sold toilet paper. Most of the little shops do not sell toilet paper, and we had to walk several blocks and ask many stores. As such, I think the apartment should come with a few extra rolls of toilet paper. I also think that if we are supposed to wash the dishes that a roll of paper towels would be helpful.

---

Oct 09, 2010:  Elizabeth C. - Minneapolis, MN for 8 nights

Comments:The kitchen did not have enough cookware or utensils to do more more than scramble eggs. Very very minimal in this regard. The cleaning or paper products were not well stocked up. I guess giving up daily maid service means buying your own toilet paper? I believe the kitchen area should have basic cleaning supplies available without the renter having to buy. I am sure that other tenants have purchased in the past and the cleaning staff ends up taking home with them. I have rented from your sources for the past three years and have been overall pleased. I do notice a difference in the above areas from apartment to apartment.

Sep 30, 2010:  Vaeda V. - Officer, VIC Australia for 7 nights

Comments:I could not speak more highly of VIP! Our one week stay in Paris was made all the more enjoyable due to the VIP information we received and the fabulous situation of the apartment. We happily utilised the local grocer and bakery and enjoyed breakfast at home most mornings. I guess I would like to say that when things go wrong they can ruin everything. But when things go to plan and are well organised you may overlook them and just enjoy your holiday. That's exactly what made this trip so great. We did not have to worry about anything. VIP's information was so precise and the apartment was perfect so we could just enjoy Paris. Thank you!

---

Sep 14, 2010:  Kathie B. - Seattle, WA for 13 nights

Comments:I would stay again if there was a different sofa bed. The sofa bed in the apt is truly horrible. I had to sleep on the outer edge. I kinow it would be challenging to figure out a room arrangement that would work, but the current sofa bed is a deal killer. I really appreciated the excellent response from the staff when I called with questions. Also, for your ads, there are two good size closets in the unit, one in the living room and one in the bedroom.

---

Sep 07, 2010:  Angela P. - Seattle, WA for 6 nights

Comments:Bedroom bed was excellent; LR futon not so good. While the apt CAN sleep 4, it would be a very snug fit due to its size. Fabulous location. Need better instructions for key fob (3 entry gates with not-so-obvious readers) - and the apt door lock is VERY tricky to open. Perhaps due to recent painting, no apt numbers on doors any more. Apt instructions have tons of cleaning requirements, but little to no supplies (dish soap, garbage bags, broom, mop, etc). Also - insufficient toilet paper! (1-1/2 SMALL rolls for 3 people for a week doesn't cut it!) Already called VIP to report apt phone number has been changed from that in documentation provided; it took us a while to figure out why no one could phone us. Overall, excellent location, nice building, fun neighborhood, wonderful "home base" for exploring Paris. I will not hesitate to use VIP again, and to recommend you to other travelers.

Jul 04, 2010:  Art K. - New York, NY for 4 nights

Comments:The neighborhood and location was great! The apartment was as represented -- a bit small for four (we were with our two teenagers) but we knew that in advance. I would use the apartment again if travelling by myself or with my wife. It was very warm when we were there -- and had to sleep with the windows open. The apartment faces a courtyard, and the sound really travelled...

---

Jun 11, 2010:  Kathy L. - Seattle, WA for 8 nights

Comments:Apartment needs: instructions for the microwave, curtain on the bathroom window, heavier curtain or shade on other windows, more towels (my husband and I had one medium towel each for an 8-day stay). Nice additions include: a lamp, a comfortable side chair, area rugs for the main room and the bedroom. The lack of window coverings, or sheerness of the curtains made it feel like we were living in a fish bowl. Serious lack of privacy, especially at night when sheer curtains were completely see-through. Peep show for the neighbors?

---

May 28, 2010:  Ilya L. - Pebble Beach, CA for 6 nights

Comments:We were lucky that we had the key to the apartment with us as the phone number of the manager was wrong ( two last digits of the number were missing). The phone number of the apartment written in the booklet was also wrong. There was construction going on in the apartment below during our stay there.

---

May 13, 2010:  Tom C. - Charlotte, NC for 14 nights

Comments:Noise was evidently the result of extensive renovations that were being done on the premises. This was not a problem at night. On one occasion there was a lot of noise coming from another apartment across the courtyard - sounded like a party of some sort. The noise extended past 10pm, but occurred on only one night. It was a pleasure dealing with you.

---

Apr 06, 2010:  James B. - Grand Rapids, MI for 3 nights

Comments:The location was wonderful. The condition of the apartment was superb. We highly recommend this apartment and Vacations in Paris as a great choice when looking for lodging in Paris.

Mar 23, 2010:  Esteban S. - Ny, NY for 6 nights
