From Brendan and Marion, Dublin
We have recently returned from our second stay at the rue Pigalle apartment and were delighted to renew our acquaintance with this great area of Paris. As a pair of active seniors, we find that this apartment has everything we need, plus it is close to all the shops and restaurants in the area. It’s nice airy yet it was warm in winter. The bus is just on the corner and it takes you straight Hotel de Ville and Notre Dame. The St. George Metro station is about 200 metres away and you can be walking in the Louvre half an hour after leaving the front door. Another good thing is that the building has a lift which is much appreciated after a hard days walking in Paris, our favourite Paris persuit. We will be back. PS: The owners have now fitted a wee step into the bath/shower area with a grab rail and it worked very well for us. |

We enjoyed our stay at this charming, little apartment in Pigalle. The apartment is well equiped with a tiny balcony overlooking the street and with lovely views to Sacre Coeur and the Eiffel Tower. Lots of food shops near by with friendly helpful staff. Easy access to the Metro and within walking distance of Montmartre. Plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby to suit most tastes and budgets (can recommend Les Comediens on Rue Blanche). Perfect apartment for a couple. The small space has been creatively used to provide all mod cons but getting in and out of the shower is a bit tricky and wouldn't be suitable for anyone with limited mobility. The neighbourhood could be described as colourful being in a red light district which may bother some people but we felt perfectly safe. Would stay here again and recommend it to others.

| 28/5/08: we'd warmly support the comments already made. We rented this apartment early May 2008 for four days. It's ideally situated for exploring lots of Paris, and only 2 1/2 blocks from the Metro, which is easy to negotiate (we managed all our Metro trips on a 10-trip ticket, with some judicious walking!) Gail was great to deal with and the whole experience was superb. WARMLY recommended. |

A very well appointed clean apartment, ideal for a couple.
The location is excellent being close but not too close to Place Pigalle and five minutes from the Metro.
There is plenty of tourist information and the phone can be used for a local call.This is vital if you do not have a mobile phone and you need a taxi.A washing machine is also a big plus. |

| We had the most fantastic time in the three weeks we spent at the apartment. As we were there during the Australian Federal election campaign we wanted to be able to check the latest news via the internet and cable TV so thankyou Bridget and Gail for helping us with this. We don't want to recommend the apartment to anyone because we want to keep it all to ourselves! Carolyn and John, Melbourne, Australia |

We were delighted to arrive here, after a four week
journey in the French countryside, to find not only a
welcoming place with views but also internet access
for our laptop and several TV channels in english.
Although the apartment is small it is well designed,
located and equipped and altogether delightlful.
The range of books and CD's is impressive. I can
see ourselves coming to this apartment again in the
future and recommending it to our friends.

Dear Bridget,
My husband and I had a wonderful nine days in the apartment. It had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. I enjoyed shopping at the local shops - especially to buy gana! We look forward to returning to Paris, and hopefully staying in an apartment again.
Merci beaucoup,

Dear Oliver and Gail,
We absolutely loved staying at this apartment. The location was fabulous, spectacular views, close to all amenities, excellent metro access, and the apartment was so cosy. We also found this to be a really cost effective form of accommodation and wished we had rented apartments in other places we visited in Europe. Not only that but it felt so much more personal than staying in a hotel. Thankyou also for the lovely flowers and wine we received when we arrived. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone and the service we received from the time we made our reservation was fantastic! Thanks again, our stay in Paris was the highlight of our honeymoon and we hope it won't be too long before we come back.

| This was our 5th+ trip to Paris, but our first in an apartment. Since we have done many of the highlights of Paris prior to this visit, we were looking for that neighborhood experience. We got that at this apartment. The nearby bakery, butcher and green grocer were helpful and delightful. The two nearby separate subway routes were handy as well. I would recommend serious cooks (the kitchen does have bread, paring and slicing knives) to bring their own knives. Also a nice French cookbook in the apartment in its surprisingly large tourist library. |

Dear Oliver,
The apartment on Rue Pigalle was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better location with everything within a block. We will be back at the first opportunity and have passed it on to several friends.
Thanks again,

Dear Oliver and Christine,
Our second stay in your apartment in Paris felt like coming home after a couple of taxing weeks travelling in Europe.
It was just as we remembered it and the bottle of wine on our arrival was a particularly lovely touch. We were so comfortable there that we only ate out once during the five nights we were there. The recomendation for fresh food on Rue Lepic was spot on.
Once again, thanks for providing an apartment so fully equipped and welcoming. We will most definitely be back again and again.
Cheers
