I've had the pleasure of staying in this lovely apartment on more than one occasion. It's beautifully designed and outfitted more as a hotel than an apartment that offers only themost essential amenities.

The photos do not do the apartment justice. It's filled with sunshine and it's rare if you hear any noise from within or outside of the apartment. The housekeepers appear to always be on-call and are gracious and willing. They've done my laundry and beautifullyironed my shirts.

In this day of the weak dollar, staying in an apartment makes enormous sense. Hotel breakfasts alone can break the bank. I got into the habit of inviting people for champagne before dinner before going to one of the area's many excellent restaurants.

I work when I'm in Paris so I don't want to have to vacuum and clean — not to mention changing sheets and towels. Karen's housekeepers do it all. The owner is available by phone -- and goes all out to make people's stays memorable. It's not a question of if I will return to this apartment. It's simply when.

This apartment is an ideal environment for someone who's on vacation and others who need to work. The US tie-line is a real plus in addition to the new computer and being able to connect via a fast WiFi connect. ...And the location is perfect.

We did a totally wonderful thing and broke with tradition this year. We spent Thanksgiving in Paris with our two sons (15 and 11). It was an absolute blast, and a big part of the reason why was Karen's apartment.

The apartment is just as wonderful as it's described. Elegant yet cozy. spacious and quiet. Just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Our friends, who were staying in a much noisier part of the 6th were so jealous when they saw the place.

It was a joy to come home to after long walks throughout the city. Riza and Jenny were extremely kind and helpful and keep the place tip top. After looking at literally dozens of places online, we settled on this apartment, and it was a wonderful choice. Much homier and roomier than a hotel. It's a great base from which to explore and enjoy this beautiful city. We cannot wait to return.

Thank you, for sharing your home with us.
Cheers,

Jonathan and Linda Wolski, Brookline, MA

Enter the apartment thru an elegant foyer, and there’s a feeling of space and I should add that its very very quiet. In the time we stayed we never encountered any outside noise; a rarity among rental apartments. A living room that’s larger than most hotel rooms you stayed in. then there’s a shower and separate bath. Both bedrooms have quality furniture, tvs plus dvds & vcrs and have the look of a top interior designer. And the kitchen is fully equipped with enough dinnerware for a small army. Why would you cook there because a five minute walk gets you to Blvd Montparnasse (a Metro stop is right there) with all kinds of places to dine from Le Coupole, Bistrot Dome, amazing fish restaurants and on the side streets a polyglot assortment of ethnic restaurants which are not only good to eat in but are gentle on your wallet. On Sundays you can wander over to the Blvd Raspail and find an organic market over a couple of blocks long where you can take back to the apt. fresh pates, numerous cheese stalls with chesses you never before knew about plus a number of stalls with a mouthwatering breads, baguettes and you name and they will have it.

In the apt you have a computer, fax and a free phone to call back to the US to chortle to your friends about this amazing apartment. Forgive me for not mentioning Jenny & Riza two darling Filipinos who live upstairs and come in six days a week and clean the apartment wash the linens and who are superb about sorting out questions about the various electrical appliances including tv's dvd's and vcr.

My wife and I have traveled Europe for almost thirty years and rented apts in Paris and other European cities and this is the first one we have stayed in where we had no quibbles or problems. Can’t wait to return.
