| This apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures: a little slice of Amelie's Montmartre life for a week. The view is amazing; we spent most of our time throwing wide the windows and looking out with big, silly grins on our faces. A great shopping street is just a short walk down the hill, where you can order fresh bread and cheese every morning. It's close to the metro and the madding crowds of Sacre Coeur but on a quiet side street so you don't feel like a tourist. Valeria and Jean-Yves were so welcoming and helpful. We'll definitely be back to live the fantasy life again. |

| From the moment you enter the building and ascend the worn timber stairs you feel like you belong. As you open the door to the apartment your stair climbing efforts are well rewarded. The simple open layout is comfortable and welcoming. Open the tall windows and drink in the views across Paris. Venture down to the nearby markets and many speciality shops to stock up on wine, cheese and your daily Baget, then return to your home to prepare a delightful meal, sit sip your Vin Rouge and watch the city transform into an evening wonderland. Thank you for this opportunity to truely experience Paris. We look forward to our next visit and consider this our Paris home. |

| Just perfect. Wood floors, character furniture. Everything works, even a good high pressure shower. The bed is wide and comfortable (although if you are bigger than 6 foot 1 inch your toes will touch the end). Valarie was lovely and helpful. It is quiet with great views and lots of air. With a couple of stays in Paris thus far, this is easily the best place I've stayed. It isn't flashy or marble and tacky carpet, it feels like a home. There are nearby restaurants and cafes galore and the locals are welcoming and patient with school French. I'll be going back! |

We spent five weeks in March/April 2008 in the apartment - totally loved it. The location is fantastic - close to everything you could ever need: great restaurants (try Bistro Poulbot on Lamarck!)/Metro a couple of blocks away/little grocer down the street,and many great markets, traiteurs (take-out food)and markets within a couple of blocks. (All that stair and hill climbing means that you get to eat and drink more of the fabulous food!)
The apartment itself is well-equipped, comfortable, and very spacious for a studio. It's very quiet - faces the back so there is no street noise. Valeria and Jean-Yves live in the building, so if you need help they are there for you. We hope to return to Paris another year - we would definitely try to stay here again. |

This apartment is everything it promises to be. My 15 yr-old niece stayed here with me June-July 2007 and loved it as well. Very well located, on a quiet street very close to popular and historic sites. Cute, lots of character up a windy staircase,wood floors, airy, light. Perfect view with lots of privacy! Eiffel Tower is a lot larger and closer than what you see in their photos, to our delight. As soon as we entered and opened the three floor to ceiling french windows it made us feel like we were truly in the Paris of our fantasies. Lovely cobblestoned walk from the Abbesses metro, where there is always something (music) going on. Family oriented and very safe at all hours, yet trendy, too. Small grocery, creperie,restos and trendy bar steps away! Restaurants, markets, boutiques all within a stroll. Sacre Coeur and Place du Tetre are very very close so you can visit it easily before the crowds arrive. Amelie Poulain store just around the corner, the bar is a walk away. A very lovely, villagey walk to our language school (Atelier 9)daily in the 9th arrondisement on Rue Trevise, but of course the metro takes you everywhere.
Owners are "adorable", as my niece said, friendly and very responsive yet relaxed and allowed us our privacy even though they lived two floors below. Deposit was returned almost immediately. All appliances worked. Not in photo: very large windows, two nice tables/desks, full size refrig, stove, bookshelf/radio, washer, bathroom counter,storage and large mirror,extra storage/clothes hanging in hallway. Beds were really, really comfy! I slept in the child's bed, too! Best of all was knowing Picasso stayed here when he first came to Paris. One book says he "rented the top floor" of the building, so we like to think it was this apartment! There is a plaque on the outside building and also in the inside. There are only about a dozen tenants in this building, so it's intimate. Thank you, Valeria and Jean-Yves, for a very wonderful place in Montmartre! |

In the same building, we have an other appartment for rent: 40m², fully equipped, 1rst floor, not the same magic view (but a very nice, quiet and picturesque one) but this is not a studio (1BR) and it fits for up to 4 people.
If you are interested, have a look at vacationhomerentals with TOP MONTMARTRE proID 18463
or google at short-stay-paris
We will be glad to give any piece of information about both rentals: just mail for every inquiry.
