Dear Cecile,
Thank you once again for the use of the wonderful apartment on 29 rue Mazarine! We found the apartment to be nicely decorated,clean and modern! The location was fantastic and within walking distance to many lovely attractions. The numerous cafes, bakeries and markets made it also very easy to assimilate to the area. I would highly recommend this apartment to seasoned or first time visitors! thank you once again! |

| We stayed in the apartment for 10 days in September 2009. Buying fresh croissants and baguette every morning at Kayser or Paul is a 4 minute walk. Great location, beautiful, super clean, well equipped and decorated apartment, with good ventilation, and a very kind owner. Close to everything. We loved our stay and we'll be back. |

| This immaculate, tidy apartment was perfect for our 6 day stay in Paris. My husband and I and our 17year old daughter were very comfortable here, and the newly added air conditioning was most welcome when the temperature hit 97 F! We would definitely stay here again and I have already recommended the apartment and owner to friends. |

This past June, we stayed in Cecile's wonderful rue Mazarine apt.for 5 nights.
The location was perfectly situated between the activity of outdoor markets, fabulous restaurants, museums etc. We were literally, a 10 minute walk to the Louvre, close to the Siene - we could not have picked a better location. We had 3 young children with us and found the apt. to meet all of our needs. The apt. was exceptionally clean, updated with all needed amenities. I would hightly recommend this apt. to anyone and can hardly wait to return! |

The apartment on Rue Mazarine was spotlessly clean,
very comfortable and decorated tastefully. Wonderful
to come home to at the end of a long day enjoying
Paris. Great neighborhood of galleries, cafes, and
restaurants. Walkable to everything, but also close to
the Metro. |

Dear Cecile,
Thank you so much for making the apartment on
rue Mazarine so perfect for our stay in Paris. We
have always enjoyed the area around rue Buci
because of the vibrant activity, but feared it would
be too noisy to stay in an apartment nearby. Your
apartment was just a block from the action, cafes,
bakeries, and gelato shops, but when we arrived in
our apartment it was like we were in a quiet
residential area. So peaceful. The apartment was
decorated so nicely and was full of light with full
size windows opening onto a courtyard. We loved
having breakfast each morning before heading out
for an active day around Paris. Everything we
needed to cook and dine was there for us. We also
loved the shower and bright and airy bathroom. It
was so refreshing after a long day of walking the
city.
I would have no hesitation about booking the
apartment again on our next trip back to Paris.

| My wife and I stayed here for a week this June and found the apartment perfect for our needs. It is perfectly situated close to the Metro and walking distance to great shopping, cafes and sites, but away from the noise. Everything was spotless and the shower has great pressure. Its a very short walk across the courtyard from the front door and up 3 short sets of stairs, but you'll be thankfull when you hear how quiet it is. We'll definitely stay again when we come back to Paris. |

We had a lovely stay in this apartment, centrally
located in the heart of the Saint Germain district. It
is on a busy street, but the apartment faces a
courtyard in the back of the building, so it is not
noisy. It is a very well appointed one bedroom
apartment, tastefully decorated and well-equipped
It is very attractive and comfortable, and everything
you could possibly need is just steps away - lively
cafes, delicious boulangeries, the metro, etc. We
definitely recommend it. |

Dear Cecile
We had a wonderful time in the apartment at St Germain-Odeon. It is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The free wireless internet and phone system made communicating with home very convenient when we had a pipe burst in our basement that needed replacing. I loved the apartment so much that I recommended to an American couple I met while in Paris. Having such a lovely home base made us feel right at home.
Thank you so much. |

Dear Cecile
Our stay in Paris was superb. The apartment is ideally located within an easy walk of cafes, the famous Kayser bakery, markets, galleries and the Seine. Coming home to the quiet and well appointed apartment, including its comfortable bed was a pleasure and made our stay all the more enjoyable. Thank you. Regards, Teresa |

| My wife & I stayed here for 8 days in March, 2009. Very nice apartment in a great location. Despite being in a very lively area, the apartment is very quiet (except for an occasional noisy visitor next door). Nicely furnished & decorated, with a great shower. The weather was cold & rainy during our visit, but the apartment was warm & comfortable. Dealings with the owner were smooth & friendly. Be aware that apartment is two floors up, and there is no lift/elevator. |

| We stayed for 4 nights in this beautiful Apartment in March. The apartment was everything we had hoped for and more. All of the furnishings are first class and it is obvious a great deal of pride has been taken in the overall presentation. The location is perfect as it's right in the heart of the wonderful St Germain-Des-Pres. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment and we look forward to paying a repeat visit in the near future. Many Thanks to all involved. Anthony. |

My husband and I enjoyed a week at the apartment with our 2 small children. The apartment exceeded our expectations. Best features were: location (close to grocery, dining and sites!), quality furnishings, washer/dryer, excellent and quiet heating system.
We heard some noise from some social neighbors on a few nights, but nothing that kept us from sleeping. When we return to Paris, we would definitely contact Cecile. She was a pleasure to deal with. The infromation book that she's prepared in the apartment was also very helpful. We enjoyed many of the recommendations. |

| A longtime user of short-term vacation rentals, I found this apartment to be the cleanest I have ever found, well-appointed, and most of all superbly located in lively, restaurant packed St.Germain, within walking distance of everything worth seeing in Paris (and there is a lot !) both left and right banks. The owner's responsiveness and attention to details, makes one feel most welcome. One can only leave with a smile on the face. |

Thank you for an amazing 10 days in Paris! We
loved the apartment. We have stayed in Paris many
times, and it is hard to imagine a better location.
Everything was so accessible - a grocery store next
door, pâtisseries, food and flower markets, and
restaurants around the corner. Even the metro was
very close.
In addition, the apartment was very comfortable
and well-decorated. We appreciated the welcoming
hospitality of the owner. This apartment will be at
the top of our list for our return visits! |

This apartment has the best shower in all of Paris,
really good large and great shower head. The
apartment is perfect, very quiet because it is in
back of the main street in the courtyard. We could
hardly even hear the morning trash trucks which
arrive about 6:00am everyday. Great simple
kitchen, large windows, good heating, very secure
feeling.
This is a great location with the Metro and the RER
only 2-3 blocks away and the Seine River only two
blocks away.
Easy rental arrangements, easy pay with paypal and
no hassle with the security payment method.
Plan on another rental from Cecile the next time we
are in Paris. |

| I got to Paris 2x per year on vacation and this is the first time I have rented an apartment, and it was a great choice!!!!!!! The Saint Germain apartment was exactly what was portrayed in the pictures and descriptions. Incredible location in the heart of St. Germain, but at the same time in an inner court yard and very, very quite. The apt. is very nicely decorated, very comfortable (the bed is very comfortable) and the apartment is well equiped. The full washer and separate dryer were perfect as well. I will definetly stay here again. |

Dear Cecile,
Our desire for our 10 day stay in Paris was to be in an apartment to have privacy, room to move and independence, as well as being close to lots of attractions in an interesting part of the city . We achieved everything we set out to. All the booking and financial arrangements were made promptly and professionally and the guest information folder was compiled so well that we did not require any further support.We were delighted with the apartment, the area of Saint Germain des Pres and of course Paris itself is just wonderful.

This is the second apt we have rented from Cecile and this was just as beautiful as the first!!
The area was wonderful and centrally located to everything. Cecile runs a first class outfit and would not hesitate to stay in any of her apt's. This was our second trip to Paris and though our first time was magical, the Buci apt made our return trip just as enjoyable. |

My husband and I enjoyed a week in St Germain Buci in
July. We were most impressed with the level of comfort in
this very stylish apartment. Cecile has gone to so much
trouble to ensure a trouble free stay. Every possible
convenience plus a booklet that explained how all the
appliances, the TV, the internet etc worked. The
apartment is in a fabulous location, easy walking
distance to many of Paris's main attractions and to cafes
and restaurants. I cannot think of a single suggestion I
could make to improve this property.

| The ability to enjoy life in the 6th in such comfort was a special treat. The two essentials - a good bed and a good shower - were the best we have ever experienced. It is a perfect, very romantic spot and so well located to explore the many art galleries of the area. The apt. is charmingly furnished, with a grocery next door and the Buci market for fresh produce steps away. |

We had a wonderful stay in Cecile's St. Germain apartment. The apartment was nicely decorated, clean and with a very comfortable bed. The location is unbeatable, in the beautiful St. Germain neighborhood. We enjoyed exploring other Paris neighborhoods during our stay, but were so pleased to always come home to St. Germain with all it's wonderful restaurants and cafes! Also, we appreciated that the reservation process and the check-in/check-out procedure was very convenient and efficient. Enjoy your stay!

| We loved this beautiful apartment. It is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The location in the heart of St. Germain is perfect; there are shops, restaurants and night-life, and yet it is quiet in the apartment. If we have the chance to return to Paris, we would not hesitate to stay there again. |

Hello Cecile!
We are just back from our stay in Paris and wish to thank you for the apartment St Germain Buci which really lived up to all of our expectations and which really made our time here unforgettable!!
The location is wonderful! Lively and trendy, full of shops and restaurants. The Rue Mazarine is one of the most charming streets in the area, with a view of the superb Dome of the Institut de France.
At the foot of the building there are two art galleries among many others and with the open air market at rue de Buci, which is literally a one-minute walk away, we were able to do our food shopping, which we later used to cook up some French cuisine in our apartment.
The apartment is very well equipped, spacious and above all absolutely beautiful. We just loved the decoration of the apartment and the pretty bathroom.
The bed is one of the most comfortable that we had ever slept in until now and although St Germain is a real lively area, the fact that the apartment looks onto the courtyard means it is perfectly calm and quiet. It was a real haven of peace after a full day of sightseeing and visiting Paris.
We really hope to come back to Paris as soon as possible and to this apartment in particular!

Dear Cecile,
It was good to hear from you and we did have a most enjoyable stay in your apartment. It is in the most delightful location and we were sorry to leave, but it was time to return to work and for the children to go back to school.
We would certainly recommend the apartment and would hope to re visit one day.
All the best for a happy and successful 2008.

a delightful luxurious hideaway in the middle of a vibrant and convenient location. We took our 2 daughters (8 and 13) who said they wanted to live there.
Particulary decent shower - hooray
would happily return, but with the Eurostar being so fast now from London, please consider 3 night rates that are value for money compared to a hotel. Thanks |
