Greetings Annie-May,
Thank you for the opportunity to share your beautiful Paris home. We thought, from our reading of your website, that it would probably be rather special but it exceeded all of our expectations.
It didn’t take long for Wendy to make friends with the Charcutier, Traiteur and the other local traders in that amazing street where “local” means 20 yards from the door. Monoprix handles the basics quite well but this one, even with two separate magasins, seems to struggle to keep its stocks up to meet the local demand. Nonetheless, we were never caught short for anything.
We dined out a few times but we also dined in as you have created such a delightful environment that we just couldn’t resist. We loved the riveted beams, the beautifully proportioned mirrors and the elegant gridded glazing. We loved the almost monochromatic simplicity to most of the surfaces which gives the gently arched brick vaulting supporting the floor above just the right level of prominence. Sliding into bed after dinner and looking through the two level space and out of those elegant tall windows made a perfect ending to each day.
We do hope we left your home as you would want and that we might be able to rent it from you again soon.
Our kind regards
Geoff and Wendy Bockman

What a lovely apartment in a great
neighborhood! We appreciated the quiet
seclusion of the apartment and the paucity of
tourists in the area after frequenting many of
the major tourist attractions of the city. The
location could not be better: steps away from
a supermarket, a metro station, assorted
pattiseries, boulangeries, boucheries, and the
best croissants in Paris! We felt warmly
welcomed and quite at home the minute we
walked in the door. Thank you, Annie-May, for
sharing your delightful Paris apartment with
us. |

| This is a perfect place for a Paris getaway. It's quiet, light-filled, charming, with all amenities necessary, including a very helpful restaurant guide for the neighborhood. The Parc Monceau is a beautiful venue for an early-morning walk, and the Rue de Levis was a wonderful place to call home for a week. We'll be back! |

What a wonderful treasure to have discovered! Back in June02 when my husband and I found ourselves on the pedestrian rue de Levis in the midst of an extraordinary outdoor marketplace, we would never have guessed that we would be back by Christmas to stay on the very street. The apartment is larger than you could possibly imagine with a separate loft-like bedroom with separate dressing-room space and a bathroom that goes well beyond Paris standards, with an American full-length bathtub and overhead shower! The main level has a separate toilet, a large living room and a kitchen that had every conceivable thing you might need, and then some!
Annie-May has spared no detail and wants you to enjoy yourselves in her beloved space.
My husband and I have travelled throughout Europe and used this site many times, including several Paris rentals, and without question this is by far the best rental property we have ever found!
Thank you Annie-May for sharing with us your home in Paris!
We hope to return soon!

| My wife and I were very pleased with the apartment. It is quiet, with a feeling of light, and has three or four times the space of a comparably priced hotel room. The most unexpected plus was the neighborhood, I didn't know what to expect staying in a residential area, but there is a sense of being at home in a corner of Paris that I had never felt before as a tourist. |

| To my mind, this is an ideal Paris apartment. The neighborhood is well-heeled and very French--there are almost no tourists there--and charming for idle walking and buying most items, and below you in the (quiet) pedestrian-only street is a wealth of fresh and prepared food. You are in a cook's or an eater's paradise. Transit to most tourist attractions is easy. The apartment is perfect--beautifully designed and equipped, and if two people want privacy from each other they have two separate floors. I will always stay here while in Paris if it is available. |
