Garden Studio Apartment ID #2

We enjoyed our stay in the neighborhood.  We found a few very good restaurants nearby and of course everything we needed was always just around the corner. It was a great neighborhood location and exactly what we wanted. 
 Jim & Vicki L.  Concord, CA 

Your information packet was very helpful, especially the maps. We found the location to be excellent for us.  The children loved walking to the Eiffel Tower at night.  
Chuck, Kathy, Marika, & Chris M   Boulder, CO

First of all I would like to apologize for returning the key to you so late. There was a misunderstanding between my husband an myself as to whom would return the key. Our stay in Paris was absolutely fantastic and the apartment's location could not be more convenient. We soon got to know all the patisseries and indulged in all the lovely pastries.  
Linda S.  Die Boord, South Africa

Deluxe One Bedroom Apartment ID #3

We returned home yesterday from a very enjoyable vacation in France.  The use of your "One Bedroom Deluxe Apartment" is appreciated.  It served our needs quite well. We would welcome having an opportunity for a return visit.  Having fresh flowers and a bottle of wine set out was a most pleasant surprise.  Thank you and your organization for making our vacation in Paris a pleasant one.  Fred N.  Austin, TX

Hi Richard  Just wanted to touch base with you folks.  We truly enjoyed our stay in Paris.  Our location was wonderful.  We were close enough to walk almost everywhere and close enough to the Metro to get everywhere else.  Thanks for renting to us!  I am sure you will be hearing from us again.  Claudia C.  Denver, CO

Dear Mary Ellen, I just wanted to write to you to tell how much we enjoyed our stay in Paris. The apartment was in a wonderful location. It was so easily accessible to the metro and markets. Five nights is definitely not enough! Your suggestion on the brochure was extremely helpful. Joyce M.   Braintree, MA. 

Overall great, exceeded my expectation. I hope I get another opportunity to book with you again.  Cindy T., Hewitt, NY

I want to tell you both that we really enjoyed the apartment. It was roomier than expected and very comfortable - we were delighted. The apartment was also pleasantly warm without being too hot; it was nice to come back to after several very chilly days. Since renting the apartment, we have become spoiled. No more hotel rooms for us! We also enjoyed the neighborhood; everything was so convenient.

Thank you for all your past assistance. Please know that we will recommend Vacation In Paris to others and that, if another Paris trip is in our future, we'll certainly be contacting you again.
Thanking you again, Donna P., West Chester, PA

Paris was wonderful. We had a great time. The place was beautiful and was nicely decorated. The location was perfect. We did a lot of walking and visited all the small streets. Jean Michel was very helpful. Thank you for everything. I will send you the keys tomorrow... Thank you again,  Tegist G., Charlotte, NC  USA 

Classique One Bedroom Apartment ID #8

We like being near rue Cler. Everything was fine and worked well with our two kids. We enjoyed the apartment much more than a hotel- we usually stay in the 6th in St Germain des Pres, but we really like the new neighborhood and hope to return soon.  Jan B.  Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Thanks, everything went very well and we had a great stay.  Jean Michel was most helpful and a very congenial host!    
Ron F.   San Diego, CA

I must admit that I was extremely apprehensive before arriving.  You can imagine, booking something over the internet has it's inherent stress levels! I WAS SO PLEASED!! The apartment is in the back of the building, one flight up, tow big windows looking out into kind of  a yard- you would never know that you were in a big city, so quiet. The neighborhood forces you to pretend that you've lived in Paris all your life. One block toward the Eiffel Tower and one block to the left is Rue Cler. The best outdoor food market in the area. The street is closed to traffic and France's choice is there for you.

You have a great place: made one feel like Gene Kelly should be singing in the courtyard. Jean-Michel was attentive when we arrive and has a good command of English- very helpful individual.  We had a great time, great apartment- thanks and we'll be back. Sandy Z. recommended the apartment to us; we'll maintain the tradition.  
Randy P.  Rochester, NY

A great way to spend our 1st trip of 2000. Now this time we had a "home" to return to. We felt this location in Paris was the best and the apartment was just about perfect with all in working order. 
Clarice & Keith A., Grantham, NH

Two weeks in a lovely apartment in my favorite arrondissement... What could be bad?   Rue St. Dominique was the perfect home base for seeing the city---walking, shopping and eating. Enjoy! Enjoy!   Julie V, Boston, MA

A great place to experience the best of Paris. It was easy to live "la vie Parisienne" here. We had our special bar, boulangerie, traiteur, tabac, etc. We became part of the neighborhood!  Cannot wait to return.  
Margie S. & Bob S., Cincinnati, Ohio

We had a great time in Paris. The apartment is beautiful, and in an excellent location. Everyone in the neighborhood was very friendly and very helpful. 
Lissa T., Carissa D., & Emily O., Washington, DC

We loved it here! Very quiet & comfortable. A home away from home. 
Rob & Marguerite T., Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

We brought our kids and enjoyed staying in an apartment. It was much more practical and cheaper with breakfast brought back from all the bakeries. This was our first apartment and we really enjoyed it. Nice to have extra room, refrigerator etc. The apt. was comfortable and quiet.
The Blocks, San Diego 

A tranquil retreat in a city full of people... Loved the light, the silence and the still atmosphere. Relished the privacy and slept in as late as we liked.
Melinda Welton, Melbourne, Australia & Edmund James, London, UK

Very quiet apartment. It's hard to believe it is so close to the center of Paris.
Mike, Marcy & Andrew McCabe, Milford, MI, USA

The 7th Arr was definitely convenient for most sight-seeing is within walking distance. It's a wonderful apt., neighborhood and city. 
The Dannys NY

Apt. wonderful, comfortable would return. Very convenient to everything that counts. 
Nancy & Hank A. Old Lyme, CT., USA

Great time, great friends, great apt. great wine. It doesn't get any better than this.
Jack & Shellie B., Madison, CT. USA

This apt. is at the top of the list for convenience...
Don R. & Graham M., Las Vegas, Nevada

What a great location! This is so much better than a hotel. Mary Schubert & Doug Wicks.

We had a terrific time. We were very comfortable. We felt safe.  Thanks very much.  Leslie H.  Gainesville, FL

We had the best time in Paris.  Loved the apartment and can't wait to go back.  Shirley H., Monte Sereno, CA

The Penthouse Studio Apartment  ID #10

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very pleased with the apartment.  The rooftop terrace is the key.
Michael F.  Trenton, NJ

Les Halles One Bedroom Apartment ID #16

Hello, we just returned to the states, after staying in your Les Halles apartment.  We had a wonderful time, the apartment was very nice and in an excellent location.  Morgan L.  San Francisco, CA

We loved the place, great location, good restaurants.  Athena S.   Neufchatel, Switzerland

The apartment was very nicely decorated and the beds comfortable.  The apartment is airy, cool, and receives good sun. Thank you - we had a wonderful time, John was lovely and the apartment was perfect.  Edye S  Mahopac, NY

The apartment was charming, exactly as advertised. Kathy S.  Kitchener, Ontario

I loved the apartment; it was convenient and charming. The neighborhood was of course quite incredible. Kitchen was small but very usable...One thing I thought was a little meager were the pillows.... very thin and not too comfortable. Perhaps these are normal french pillows... I'm used to something a little more plush. But overall everything was really wonderful and I would be very enthusiastic to stay here again, and I hope to revisit soon. Very happy with the whole arrangement.. many, many thanks to all concerned
Ronald Z.,  Toronto, Ontario

Marais St. Paul Two Bedroom Apartment ID #18

We wanted to tell you how pleased we were with our apartment in Paris. The Marais Two Bedroom was immaculate and suited us perfectly. We will be sure to book again with you and tell our friends of your service.
Kelly S.   Midlothian, TX

We loved the apartment and the location. A comfortable home away from home.  Ferd W. Montague, MA

It's a quite functional apartment- two bedrooms worked out well for our family. Also, it very, very quiet, which is very much appreciated in Paris.  The kitchen, though tiny, is well stocked with pots and pans.
As for the logistics of the apartment, I found all your correspondence, instructions, etc. to be perfectly clear and thoughtful. Also, I had some contact with Mr. Knutson, regarding baby sitting & restaurant recommendations, and found him to be wonderfully forthcoming.  Joel b.  Berkeley, CA 

The apartment was great. You said it would be tight and it was, but not uncomfortable. The location couldn't be better. We had a great time and thought about coming back next year- will let you know.  Stephanie L. Lancaster, PA

We really enjoyed the apartment. The facilities are modern, the apartment quiet and the location great. We hope to use your agency again before too long.  Simon D.  Victoria, Australia

The apartment exceeded my expectations- not an easy thing to do! Cozy, extremely quiet, well-appointed, comfortable and Parisian are just a few words I can offer about the Marais apartment.  To be 'chez nous, en famille' was such an advantage.  I don't think I will ever stay in a hotel again.  Great neighborhood too!'    Paulette J.,  Roseville CA

 The apartment is fabulous!  I loved its coziness and location- I will absolutely recommend this apartment and plan on returning.'   Deb D., San Jose CA

 Great apartment, great location...we felt very comfortable and at home here.'  Mason Family, Sydney, Australia.  

 Nice apartment-- compact-- great location and neighborhood.'  Clark Family, Washington D.C.

 The Adams Family from Kansas loved being this close to everything...the apartment is old (which we love) and had everything we needed.'

Latin Quarter Studio ID #19

We have just returned home from our stay in Paris at your referral location of a studio apartment at rue de Carmes.  It was wonderful, we have enclosed a copy of  your survey as requested. John was great. It was a pleasure to meet him and we want to thank him for all his assistance and great tips for visiting Paris. The apartment was great!!!   
Marcetta D.  Odessa, FL

'We had a wonderful time in Paris and the Latin Quarter Studio was friendly and well-equipped.'  Stephanie & John S., Lima Peru

 Thank you for a wonderful time in  Paris.  The Latin Quarter Studio is in a fun and lively area that hooks you from the start-- it was nice to have a home away from home...this is the first stop on our honeymoon and we now have the memory of a perfect beginning!'  Karen & Joe M., Moraga, CA

 Richard, Thanks for the privilege of spending some time (too little!) in the Latin apartment.  
John R. 

We had a great week and really enjoyed the studio. We look forward to a return.  
Ray M.  Las Vegas, NV

Had a great time in Paris- Latin Quarter Studio worked out great.  
Thanks again,  Emily S.  Seal Beach, CA.

The apartment is in a great location and well maintained. The packet you mailed was very thoughtful & helpful!  We had a great time during our stay in the Latin Quarter. 
Scott & Karen M.  Moraga, CA

What a great two weeks we had here in the Latin Quarter-- we loved everything about the area and will definitely recommend the studio to others.'  Lewis' from Los Angeles, CA

Apartment was great. Nice having bits of things in the kitchen: 2 kinds of vinegar, mustard, 2 kinds of salt, some cereal, and so on. We bought napkins that will last for weeks, a small but real contribution.  
One advantage of your key method that we hadn't thought of--we were caught in the Italian labor strike. Our scheduled arrival of 3:00 pm turned into 1:30 am, with other times predicted along the way. We've rented apartments before where we met the person--it would have been very difficult. Even a lot of the medium and small hotels would have had trouble with 1:30 am. As it was, we found the place, staggered in, showered, drank a glass of wine, and went to sleep in the very comfortable bed.

Just a quick note to thank you. The apartment was as expected and my wife and I had an excellent time. We will have the key in the mail to you this week.     Ray M.  Point Claire, Quebec

Place des Victoires Two Bedroom Apartment ID #22

Dear Rick,
We can’t begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our vacation. We went to Paris, London, Rome, and spent the last two weeks in Spain. We should have spent two weeks more in Paris rather than Spain. We definitely needed more time in Paris. Without question, Paris was our very favorite. In fact we are already planning on a two week visit next year and hope to stay in the same apartment.

The apartment was located in a prime location for us as we loved all the museums and could easily walk to all our destinations. 

Again, our warmest thanks to you for all that you did to make our visit so great. The information packet was most helpful. Wish everyone had given us such meaningful information. It was good to know that you were always there to answer all of our questions, it made our trip the “BEST”. Thanks again Rick.
Becky J., Holland, OH, USA

Returned last night, will put the keys in the mail today. Had a wonderful time, the rue Herold location couldn't have been more perfect.  Our next trip will will likely be planned around its availability!! Also met John and had dinner at one of his local recommendations, Chez Bibi, which was wonderful and very reasonable.  The current exchange rate certainly makes everything even more affordable. Thanks again!!     Lynn B.  St. Louis Park, MN

We enjoyed the apartment very much, as its situated in a great location.  It is accessible to numerous attractions and could not be more central.  Nevertheless, it is quiet, allowing privacy.'       
Mr & Mrs  Wilmot, London, England

The location of the apartment was fantastic...thank you for a well appointed and comfortable 'home away from home'.    
The Kaye Family  Croydon Park, NSW (Australia)

'The apartment worked out very well for the four of us.  The location proved to be excellent...when we return we would certainly stay here again.'   
The Kirkpatrick Family, Fords, NJ

Enjoyed our stay in the "City of Light".  Thank you Vacation In Paris and John for making our stay a very special one.'   C. & M. Beaton-Wells, Australia

Location is perfect!! Amazing quiet within apartment as well as between them.  We really appreciated having the wine and snacks for the first might as it was almost 7PM when we arrived.  
Lynn B. St.,  Louis Park, MN

'We loved the apartment, roomy and comfortable and quiet. The area is perfect for walking to all the great sights of Paris. ' Mary K. and Dottie M., Phoenix, AZ

 'The flat was great...the furnishings and facilities just what we needed.'   Jon W., Oxford, England

The Sorbonne One Bedroom Apartment  ID #28

We had such wonderful time in Paris-the apartment was wonderful- truly enhanced our experience. I will definitely use your company again (and tell friends) - my husband is very anxious to return to Paris and stay in the apartment- so perhaps next spring. I will be very happy to talk to anyone who has questions re: the property.
We never did venture on the metro but we found the #21 and #27 buses fabulous for 1 euro (they do make change) and they run on a very regular basis.
Eileen F., NY, NY

The apartment is beautiful, functional, and ideally located.  You are very generous to share it with us!  Brian and Susan"  They also added, "PS-Vacation In Paris (the Internet rental company) was a pleasure to work with."
Susan B.  Columbia, MD

We had a wonderful time in the apartment in Paris. Great location, easy to get around on the Metro, and it was a fully stocked apartment. Truly a home away from home.

Tom & I just returned from our honeymoon last night. We absolutely LOVED the apartment. In fact it was hard to leave for the second week in Dublin... We will definitely contacting you to stay in this apartment again- we can't wait to return. Thanks so much for getting the key to us well in advance of our departure. It was such a relief to have one less thing to worry about with the wedding... I couldn't have asked for a more romantic place to stay in on our honeymoon.
Sincerely, Chris and Tom T., Tallahassee, FL 

Paris-Neuilly One Bedroom Apartment  ID #33

Thank you very much for this lovely apartment.  My family and I had a wonderful time staying at the apartment.  The apartment and the location were really beyond our expectation.  The "landlady" was lovely.  She was such a dear and she ever ready with a smile to greet us every morning and when we came back from our outings.  The neighours were just as good as her. Their warm smile made the stay even more worthwhile.  It is indeed a great neighbourhood!  Just one word to sum it all up: Excellent!
Christie K.,  Signapore

We had a wonderful time in Paris while staying at the Paris-Neuilly Apartment. The apartment was very quaint and convenient. It was one bedroom, but had plenty of room for two couples or a family. It was less than two blocks from a metro stop on a major metro line, which gave us easy access to all that we wanted to see. There was a Monoprix (grocery/department) store, McDonald's and several restaurants/cafes all within one or two blocks of the apartment. I would highly recommend it. I only wish we had been able to stay longer!
Thanks,  Julie  D.   Bad Windsheim, Germany

The location of the apartment was perfect. The Les Sablon metro station was only a minute's walk from the apartment.  We were close to many of the sights we wanted to see. We can't imagine having stayed in a more convenient location.
The apartment was perfect too.  We were so cozy and comfortable. Our family of six had a wonderful stay.  There were many grocery stores, laundromats, bakeries, and a post office within minutes of the apartment. We want to come back to "our home in Paris" on our next visit.     Carolyn & Jack B., Utah

A vacation can really be a vacation when you have your own home away from home.  My family that in just five days, we came to love this apartment and the city which surrounds it.  So close to the metro that it is as easy as being in the center of Paris but far enough away from the inner city that you can enjoy a quiet peaceful stay.  A delight- Thank you.  Paul S., Bushkill, PA

The "landlady" was very helpful, she was always around if we needed anything.  Overall, excellent.  Thanks!
Marian & Dave G., Knoxville, TN

The apartment in Paris was wonderful.  I was a little apprehensive because I never rented a vacation property over the internet and I did not know what to expect.  We opened the oak doors and we were immediately captivated by the quaint courtyard and the friendly attendant.  The apartment was spacious and the beds were very comfortable.  At the end of every day it was a pleasure to come back and relax in a home like atmosphere.  The time we spent in Paris was the best part of our trip, due in large part to this fabulous apartment.   Thanks for recommending it!  Helen D., Aston, PA

 Parc Monceau One Bedroom Apartment ID #36

Thank you for the confirmation about the keys. We will look for the refund check in the mail.
Just wanted to take a moment to tell you how impressed we were with this entire process, and especially with the lovely little apartment in Paris. It was everything we were hoping for, and more. The location was just perfect for us, the apartment was VERY quiet, very well-equipped, and very "homey". We appreciated all of the many guide and reference books John had left on the bookshelves.
We loved Paris so much that we are hoping to return again next spring. If we do, we will be contacting you again and will certainly recommend you to anyone else who might be traveling to Paris (though we'd be a little bit jealous of anyone staying in "our" apartment!).

Thank you for helping make our visit to Paris so memorable.

Sandy W., Fort Wayne, IN

The apartment was great! The only problem was the shops on rue de Levis were so good we didn't dine out as often as we had planned! We had to sample all the pastries, baguettes, meat and cheeses along with the wine. There were 4 of us in the apartment and it was no problem at all- plenty of room. We will definitely recommend this apartment to our friends. Thanks.
Galyn & Harriet P., Mesa, AZ 

Ou se-trouve le vrai Paris? Right here on rue de Levis! In one week's time we sampled every single patisserie, boulangerie, charcuterie, boucherie...enjoyed a wonderfully authentic Parisian experience. We look forward to a return visit to this apartment. Thank you for your hospitality.'   Jackie and Steve A., Amsterdam, The Netherlands

We had a wonderful time...the apartment is lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed rue de Levis, with all the markets and shops. This is a great area!'   Frank and Patty R., Sebastapol, CA

We found the apartment and the neighborhood charming. The short walk to the metro was a great way to see all the sights. A wonderful experience. We kind of feel like we should stay forever!
Gary & Karolyn J., Mesa AZ

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Paris. The shopkeepers in the street were all very friendly and helpful, And the apartment was great. Paris is a beautiful city and definitely the highlight of our trip. Thank you for your assistance in making it easy for us. We left the keys inside the apartment when we left as requested by John. Please pass on our appreciation to him for the wine. 
Regards from Charles and Maggy, Corlette, NSW  Australia.

The Louvre Loft Apartment  ID #38

Enclosed are the keys for the rue Mandar apartment from our visit.  The apartment was perfect.  The apartment is well equipped and ideally located. The neighborhood is wonderful and Paris was delightful. We'll be happy to be references (if you need it). Thanks   Robert J., Brooklyn, NY

Thank you for for all your help- greeting us, suggestions for the area, help with local customs, phone calls, and especially the 6 a.m. wake up call that got us out to make our flight on time.  This apartment and area are perfect; easy access to transportation, shopping, dining, and great people.  Nick & Honey H., West Linn, OR

Great time, great place, hope to return.  Larry B., Wickham, United Kingdom

Very quiet, especially at night. We were pleased with the location of this apartment - its convenience to markets, metro, shopping and museum attractions.  It was a great introduction to Paris, we would like to stay there again.  Overall, it was a lovely apartment that allowed us to explore all of Paris.  Thank you.  Margaret & Wiley J., Scottsdale, AZ 

We didn't really know what to expect of the studio before we got there.  However, upon our arrival, we found the studio to be very clean and tidy, with all the utensils we needed for our stay.  It is prettier and roomier than the pictures on your website.  We really appreciate the excellent location of the studio, being so nearby everything from the market to the  metro station.
On the whole, our stay was very pleasant, enjoyable and memorable.  We really look forward to visiting Paris again.  Thank you very much for all your help.  Regards,  Brian C.   San Francisco, CA

We had a wonderful time in Paris staying at rue Mandar. The apartment was so central to what we wished to do... Thanks again for sharing such a gem with us.
Regards, Virginia B., Sydney, Australia

Super Paris apartment. Clean, well furnished, quiet (for a city apartment) in a beautiful and exciting part of town. Easy access to lots of fun things. Very safe and secure neighborhood. Thanks a lot for making this internet "purchase" a great experience- thanks again, keep the place available for our next trip!  Marc L., Manchester, Maryland

Tower View Studio ID 42

Fantastic!
Shannon H., Greenfield, NH

Bon Ami! In Paris for the 4^th time and loved the flat & neighborhood. Met lots of friendly people and had dinner twice with Parisians that happened to live across the street... met by mutual friends, they hosted a party in our honor! Had the time of our lives. Will be back soon!
Regards, Michael & Melinda R., Denver, CO

This is the best apartment we've stayed in Paris, and we really enjoyed being in the neighborhood. The tips in the log book are very helpful. We re leaving a shopping cart and a bag so that others can take advantage of being close to the wonderful market street of rue Montorgeuil. We enjoyed dining outside at L'Estival... a homey neighborhood place. The rye bread (pain de seigle) at Paul is wonderful-- plain (native) or with walnuts (au noix). A great stay- Thanks!
Jerry & Gail N, Oakland, CA

Bonjour! Nice apartment, nice stay! Very quiet place- "Star Wars" opened at the Rex while we were here- no noise. Plenty of store for daily needs nearby- including 2 Monoprixs on Bonne Nouvelle- also a poste office and ATM. There is a public parking garage just across the boulevard - we were concerned as we have hired a car for our trip to Normandie. There are JUST too many places places to eat!
Fritz & Judy H., Denver, CO

What a cozy hideaway to come home to after bustling days of touring about Paris! We too loved the open market on rue Montorgeuil. Every evening we would buy some great bread and the next morning we would enjoy a peaceful continental breakfast with cafe lait, bread, some butter & jam and occaisionally yogurt and fruit. There isn't anything we wouldn't change in the apartment. 
Michelle & Michael V., New Mexico, USA

SeineSation Two Bedroom Apartment ID #46

We have arrived home safely from a wonderful trip to Europe and Paris was all we had hoped for. The apartment was terrific, very convenient and comfortable. It was a pleasure to stay there, the arrangements to collect the key worked very well and at the end we left both keys on the kitchen table as instructed by the Paris contact on Monday 16th October.
Hank V., Preston, Victoria  (Australia)

Just wanted to tell you, we had a fantastic time. The apartment was great. We met Jean-Claude because the phone wasn't working. He brought another one. Such a nice man. I will send you a picture when I get the film developed.  I am mailing the keys today.  
Thanks again Renee , Metairie, LA

Dear you all at VIP,
Thank you very much for your message and for your assistance regarding the accommodation in Paris for my family. I am sorry that as I had to leave earlier, I was not able to write in the log book and could not send comment earlier.

It was a very nice experience for us to stay in the apartment of Mr. Tran Van. We feel very much like being home there. It is clean, comfortable and cozy.

If I will be in Paris again with friends or family, I would like to stay there again! Also, it would be my recommendation for friends who look for that type of accommodation in Paris.

Thank you again and good luck!
Dr. K., London, England

Studio Picardie ID #49

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Paris 3/26-4/2/2003. The apt on Rue de Picardie was excellent for our needs, clean, airy, great location (The Web Bar down the street serves great desserts). Jean Michel was helpful re: advice on places to eat the last eve and letting us stay till noon when our shuttle to CDG would arrive next day. We look forward to booking with your team again. Soon, we hope.
Thanks a million for helping make this trip a delight. Cordially,
Les L.

Great apartment- very charming and well done.  Fabulous location we would definitely recommend it for anyone traveling to Paris. We were easily able to get everywhere.  Much larger than the hotel rooms we stayed in before! 
Janet H.,  Bryan, TX

Enjoyed our stay. The wine shop around the corner was very knowledgeable. Check out the Picasso Museum and the Place des Vosges. The Hill Family, St. Louis, MO

The apartment is very well located for markets on rue de Bretagne - the covered market is on the site of one of the oldest in Paris - good cheeses, fish, produce, and Moroccan take out. 
Jane B., San Francisco

Paris is a wonderful city. The food is wonderful and the architecture superb. We enjoyed Julien restaurant and the street side crepes au chocolate.....the Picasso Museum in this neighborhood is a must see. Thank you for a wonderful memory.
 F. Mancini and B. Pori, Albuquerque, NM

A wonderful week. The apartment is very nice. Hope to return very soon.. N & S Grimes, Austin, TX

Thanks again for good help!    Stein and Jannecke Larsen, Norway

Dear Regis,
We would like to thank you for the opportunity to stay in your apartment. We really enjoyed the apartment itself and the area was very pleasant. We will definitely in future again want to stay there. We will also recommend your apartment to our friends.
Regards, Phillip and Elsa H, South Africa

My stay in Paris was excellent, and I would recommend your service to anyone. I would say that the photos have a way of making an apartment look larger than it is, but it was still ideal for two people! It was clean, and very secure. The owner of the St Sauveur grand studio was exceptionally accommodating, spoke excellent English, and insisted that we contact him at home if we had any problems, day or night. Right up the block is a lovely little neighborhood with a great deal of shops, bakeries, florists, etc. James D, Hampden-Sydney, VA

Hi, thank you very much for the wonderful stay at the St Sauveur flat. The flat was great! Very clean, modern interior, and an incredible location. It was very close to great market shopping and walking distance from alot of incredible parisian sights. We were very happy here. The owner was a great guy and was availiable to help us out when we needed it. When we come back, we will hopefully be able to stay in the same place. Thanks again,
Greg Auld & Julie S, Vancouver, Canada

Hi, I hope you are doing great, I would like to say thank you for your help, and we really appreciate that you treated us like your friends.

Thanks again

Dear Jan
We have now returned home and would like to give you some feedback about the apartment.

1. The apartment is WONDERFUL. Certainly enough space for all four of us, tastefully planned and furnished with ample storage space for our clothes. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival and I hope we left it in a fairly reasonable condition. We enjoyed and used the books on Paris that were available and loved coming home in the evening after a day out, to relax in the apartment. The use of space is a masterpiece of planning and while it is certainly not large, there always seems enough space. The kitchen was easy to use and we enjoyed cooking all our meals there. We thought the reed curtain to the bathroom worked particularly well. We also appreciated the ability to adjust the heating, as we are not used to heated houses in Swaziland and most heated places in Europe are too hot for us!!!! We appreciated the care that has been taken to meet the needs of a traveler. Whatever we needed, we found in the obvious place.

2. The location of the apartment could not have been better. We did all our shopping around the corner and loved the vegetable and fruit stalls. We did most of our sight seeing on foot and only occasionally used the metro. We walked to Montmarte area as well as to the Louvre and enjoyed walking out in the evening as well.

3. Of course, we loved Paris. People were friendly and helpful and very patient with our attempts to communicate in French. The market streets in the area around the apartment are a delight to simply walk in. We did not have much time in Paris and therefore had to make some choices about where to go and what to see. We did enjoy one evening skating outside in front of the Hotel de Ville. I would say that my only complaint about Paris is that our time there was too short.

4.On our way to Montmarte we did discover the Jewish quarter where there are kosher shops. Although we are not Jewish ourselves, we are strict vegetarians and therefore prefer to eat kosher cheese since it does not use animal rennet. For any of your stricter Jewish clients, the french word for kosher is "caché" (I'm not sure if this is spelt correctly but that is what it sounds like).

5. We will certainly be recommending your organisation and this apartment to others and look forward to staying there again when we return to Paris one day. Many thanks for all your help and assistance in our holiday of a lifetime.
Yours sincerely Lindsay D., Mbabane, Swaziland

We live in New York and dealt with the New Jersey office. I just wanted to specifically name Jan Smith in your office because she was so helpfull and attentative.  Vacation In Paris is a great company and has good people like Jan.  Thank you!
Elizabeth C. , NYC

We loved the ease of dealing with your company. My husband, Ronan, is French, but he said it was much easier dealing with you than it would have been dealing with a French rental company or landlord. Thanks for the great experience. 
Kim L., Arlington, VA

It was a lovely studio and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. After living on Rue de Bac @ St Germain, we especially appreciated the quiet location! We will certainly use your services again and will recommend your firm to our friends. (Do you have the same service in other locations?) Thanks for accommodating us on such a short notice.
Raleigh W., Seabrokk, TX

Couldn't close the windows in the living area. Information left by Martine was very helpful, particularly the details of the after-hours medical service (SOS Medicines). English language TV station (e.g. CNN) would have been good. Having the internet was extremely helpful. Proximity to Monoprix supermarket was very handy. The apartment was very quiet and one felt secure.

FinalComments
Vacation in Paris staff were extremely prompt, friendly and helpful. The instructions for access to the apartment appeared overwhelmingly complex, but in actuality were very simple. Thank you.

The apartment was more spacious than we expected with separate lounge, dining and kitchen. location fulfilled our needs and it was very quiet. even right in the heart of Paris. Downsides - Very tiny lift - Door locking systems could be made easier
Phil M., Masterson, NZ

Bonjour Vacation in Paris Team!

We are back from our trip and we had a fabulous time! Thanks so much for your support and guidance. The apartment was very comfortable, a great place to return to after a day of walking Paris. We felt very "parisienne" doing our shopping in the local grocery stores, boulangeries etc.... The location was just fabulous! It was quiet but very accessible to great sites locally and being right off the "1" Metro line gave us access to really everything!

There were two things that could have made the apartment experience perfectly smooth:

1. Keys to the doors. Perhaps the instructions could add which direction you turn the keys. We at first had trouble with the first door, but once we figures out you turn the key counter-clockwise that was easy. The apartment door was difficult. In fact we called the owner because after 10 minutes of trying we had no luck. He did talk us through it and we did get in, but it was challenging for the first few trys. After a few days we got the hang of it.

2. Shower instructions. The instructions that are written don't adequately explain how to turn it on. Again, we fumbled and got it to work, but truthfully we were never really sure how we got it to work :)

We would definitely stay there again, so not big issues - but thought that you might want to know about these two items.

Again - thanks for all your great customer service. I have put the keys in the mail today, so you should have them in the next few days.

Take care.

Rue Cler Spirit- ID #77

We very much enjoyed the location of the apartment, being by the Eiffel Tower was a great reference point. We have rated the apartment outstanding in all respects, much better than we anticipated!
Lesley H., Littleton, CO

The apartment was wonderful! The location was very convenient to the metro, and close to the shops and some great little cafes. We highly recommend it and will definitely do this when we come back to Paris. It was so nice to have breakfast/coffee in our pj's and the ability to cook when we wanted to. Feel free to use us as a reference any time!

Final Comments:
Just wanted to thank you for the quick service on short notice. We really enjoyed our trip and loved the apartment! We put out a positive "plug" for you on TripAdvisor.com and hope that others will enjoy the accommodations as much as we did. One tip you might offer to future visitors is the "carte orange"-- weekly metro pass that's good each Monday thru Sunday for unlimited travel within Paris. It was a great bargain. You sure don't want to drive in Paris if you can help it.
Linda O., Frisco, TX

The apartment is just great! We had a wonderful time feeling as though we lived here. Everything is so comfortable. It's just great!

We had a wonderful time and packed as much into 7 days as we possibly could. The apartment is perfect for the overly ambitious tourist. We simply could not keep still, but it was so nice to have such a cozy, well thought-out place to come "home" to. Thanks for everything!
Keith and Julia Trimmer.

It really was a wonderful experience. I wish that we had known that you have one in London. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.  It was a privilege to have stayed in such a lovely home.

Thank you Richard. We were very happy with our vacation rental and with the excellent service we received in booking it. Hope to book again in the not too distant future. Will provide feedback as soon as we are unpacked from our trip!
Kind regards, Maggie N., Richmond, VIC, Australia

The apartment was more than adequate and in very nice condition on our arrival. It provided us very comfortable accommodations for the duration of our stay. It's convenience to the St Michel-Notre Dame metro stop was unparalleled and offered us quick and easy access to almost everywhere we wanted to go. Although the Latin Quarter's night life is more than a little raucous, the placement of the apartment made for quiet restful nights. The comforter did have a stain and the glasses required washing before use but these were of little consequence. It did take us a while to determine the orange switches in the dark stairwells were for the lights and not doorbells which would have been handy earlier in our stay. Internet access was simple (the CAT5 marked "internet" helped) and fast in spite of the statement in the Web Doc that service wasn't in place. All in all the apartment improved our stay immensely and we look forward to booking it again!

We have loved exploring a very small part of Paris from this perfect location. We enjoyed "the sights" but even more loved discovering the cheese shop, wine shop, chocolate shop etc in the streets in the neighborhood...."
Henrik A., Cherrybrook, NSW, Australia

Thanks for this lovely apartment. We were very comfortable and the little kitchen was a big bonus. Loved the cheese shop down the street....

“What a wonderful apartment! Great location and a home away from home. Enjoyed the croissants from the patisserie at the corner of rue Verneuil/rue du Bac”
Sharon K.M., Atlanta, GA, USA (7/28/2006)

“We have been coming to France for many years with our children. During that time, we’ve rented several apartments and stayed in numerous hotels in Paris. In all that time, we’ve never been tempted to spend any extra time in our rooms….until now! Your place is the perfect example of utility of space; no space wasted, all of it is ingeniously equipped with everything one needs for comfort. Genial! We enjoyed getting to know the very interesting quartier, where everything is available in a short walk distance. It can’t get much better than this. Thank you!”
The Jones, Indianapolis, IN, USA (7/11/2006)

“What a wonderful time we’ve had! A return to a city we love and a first visit for our children. We found the apartment central, well-equipped, a welcoming home at the end of an exhausting day sightseeing and shopping”
Derek H., South Africa (7/7/2006)

“Soeurs a Paris! We loved the location of this apartment. Its amenities are very good also. We really appreciated the fact that we could call home without a charge”
Judy, Jean, Amy, Angela, Phil, PA,  Portland, OR, USA (4/26/2006)

“This was our young daughters’ first trip to Paris. The location of the apartment and amenities surrounding it were just perfect for us. All of the parks and playgrounds we wanted to take them to were easily accessible from here. We had a wonderful few days in Paris and are looking forward to returning soon”
The Arenth family, Atlanta, GA, USA (4/22/2006)

“The apartment was perfect! This was our first trip to Paris with our children and it was wonderful to show them the Parisian way of living. We loved the local shops – the fromagerie was a favorite! Great way for our family to spend the week. Thank you!”
The Linsteys, Chapell Hill, NC, USA (3/24/2006)

“We have enjoyed our week here. The apartment is quiet, beautiful and well equipped. It is a lovely, convenient neighborhood. We also loved the bistro St. Germain and the chocolate shop Richart. We had a wonderful mom + daughters shopping/eating/museum week”
The Sheldons, Morris Plains, NJ, USA (4/8/2006)

“This trip represented the return to Paris for some and a first time for others. Each time the city seems to share a new secret. The housing was divine, a perfect location for every Parisian landmark”

Champs Elysées/Matignon Deluxe ID #109

My stay at Rue Ponthieu was incredible. This was my first time in Paris and staying at Rue Ponthieu made all of the difference. The flat was impeccable and the layout was very comfortable. I am making plans to come back again next year! Morgan was incredibly helpful and accommodating. It was an absolute pleasure to meet him!

Thank you very much for this wonderful experience.
Erika P. San Francisco, CA

The apartment was perfectly located with plenty of space for us and every accessory we needed for cooking, laundry, etc. I would stay there again.
-Walter C., Overland Park, USA - April 2005

We had an wonderful stay in Paris. The apartment was so nice and convenient to everything! Will recommend to friends.
- Nancy G., Dallas, TX  April 2005

Fantastic apartment. The location could not have been more ideal! The only bad thing was having to leave such a beautiful apartment and Paris. This is the perfect location, location, location, for a Parisian vacation.
- Guillermo S., Miami, USA - October 2004

We had a wonderful time in this apartment. It is decorated beautifully with French antiques. Wish they would come and decorate my house in Atlanta. It is everything I wanted. The kitchen was great to cook in. The washer and dryer were easy to operate. The bed was so comfortable. The only difficulty was parking in this busy area. Would rent this apartment again. I searched the web for a very French decorated apartment and found it.
- Diane D., Marietta, Georgia, USA - October 2004

We enjoyed our stay in Paris at the Rue Ponthieu apartment very much. The apartment is lovely and comfortable. We appreciated the great location near the Metro and historical sites. We can't wait to return! Paris is an extraordinary city!
- Ted and Hallie M., Gainesville, USA - September 2004

We were so happy we found this place. It's in a very convenient location, close to everything. The apartment was very comfortable and appliances easy to use. We will definitely stay here again when we come back!
- Flora and Joe L., Auckland, NZ - November 2003

We cannot say enough good things about our stay in Paris and in the lovely apartment at 29 Ponthieu. Many thanks for a wonderful stay. 
- Harriet O., Omaha, USA - June 2003

My husband and I spent 10 days in Paris after the Christmas Holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. We loved the experience of actually living in the heart of Paris. We travel extensively and this was the first time we rented an apartment. The apartment was everything we had hoped for. The kitchen had all the appliances and conveniences you could ask for and the washer and dryer made traveling much easier. Access to the Metro was better than we expected and we were able to walk everywhere throughout the city. There was a wide variety of good restaurants in the area around the apartment. We miss it already and our friends are all asking for information about the rental.

 Perfectly Parisian Two Bedroom ID 110

We appreciate your prompt responses and accurate information about what to expect of the apartment. For two older women, who do not like bus tours, and need more than a hotel room to be comfortable, these apartments in Neuilly Sur Seine were ideal. We had plenty of space, no need to rush out in the morning,we could cook some of our own meals, and we found walking in the neighborhood quite enjoyable. The nearness of the metro makes getting into Paris, to see the the things that one goes to Paris to see, very, very easy.
Sara P., Midway, KY

Ste-Catherine One Bedroom

Tremendous apartment, great service here and in Paris from Morgan. We had a problem figuring out how the oven worked and Morgan responded instantly to our call. I've already recommended your company to several friends. It was great arriving there and finding the apartment actually exceeded our expectations. We'll be back!
