Enjoyed our stay! Suited us with 3 kids. Felt safe in apt & neighborhood.
Surprisingly quiet for a busyish road.
Clean, tidy - no complaints.
Just 5-10 mins walk to metro, food shops even closer. Great crepery down the block! |

Paris was our first stop on my 21-day mother/daughter Europe trip (16 year old daughter). We stayed 8 days in this beautiful and spacious Montmontre apartment which was perfect - less expensive than neighboring hotels, 2-bedroom so I could rise with the sun while my teenager slept in, full kitchen for breakfast and dinners at significant savings, clothes washer that allowed us to pack light, and wireless internet (best from the bedroom). We loved being up on the hill away from the busy city of Paris with the city sites reached easily by bus or metro in 15 minutes.
All the people we met were friendly, though few seemed to speak English in the Montmontre area(but my rusty, high-school French lessions got us by). We took your recommendation to eat at the downstairs Italian restaurant, Pulcinella, the first evening and really enjoyed it. The 2nd bedroom can be fairly noisy from street noise up until midnight; so bring music & headphones or earplugs if you are light sleepers. I wished there had been some piano sheet music on-hand, as I would have loved to try out the Baby Grand Piano however I didn't have any music memorized. The DVD player did not work while we were there; however we didn't bring it to the owner's attention until we left (so I'm sure they will address that).
We had a bit of a "key fiasco" when we arrived; due to flight delay, we just missed the gentleman who was to let us in and took us several hours to connect with Allyson via her cell phone contact number. We were tired, holding our baggage after the long trip from the US and thus, had checked into the Holiday Inn hotel next door. However when we connected with Allyson, she expressed her concern and quickly addressed the issue - delivering the key to the hotel within 2 hours and crediting us 1 night charge (to offset the hotel charge we had incurred). I highly recommend this apartment for those wanting to stay away from the busy downtown city in a residential community.

| Marla's apartment was delightful! We really enjoyed our stay in a Parisian home; the apartment was beautiful and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was a treat - we enjoyed visiting the local markets. And the location was great - close to several metro stops and easy to get to. We'll definitely recommend your apartment to others - thank you for your hospitality! |

I will never book a hotel room again. Living in this apartment in Montmartre was very homey and comfortable. The district is great - restaurants, boutique (and bakeries!) galore.
Thanks so much to you Marla and a special hello and thanks to Allyson and Michelle. |

| I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed staying in your apartment. It was so lovely and I appreciated the charm and character of it, something we don't have much of back in the States. I am holding onto your website information for the next time I return to Paris. The neighborhood was wonderful, too! |

Comment Text: What a lovely place. We stayed here
for a very happy
ten days. The apartment has a very special feeling:
light, bright and airy with elegant furnishings and
original plaster moldings. Plus the bus right around
the corner takes you all the way to the Louvre, St
Germain etc.. Highly recommended. |

| With three generations of my family to cater for (my mother and my 2-year-old), I am very pleased to report that we all enjoyed the apartment and the area immensely. I would not hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends and family travelling to Paris. The metro lines are within an easy walk, as are good bus links, great cafes, bakeries, shops and restaurants. We felt very at home in the apartment and feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful place. It made for the best vacation we've all had in years. |

| Marla, thank you for sharing your home with us, it truly felt like we were staying in a friend's home on our Paris vacation! The neighborhood was great, the corner grocer was very kind to us in light of our rather poor French, several Metro lines nearby, ATMs, restaurants, the Cimitiere Montmartre nearby, all of these things combined to make it a fabulous first visit to Paris. We're recommending your apt. to any of our friends who are considering Paris. Also, for those reading this, Marla is very easy to work with, excellent communication, on site property management met us there, all in all a very good experience, so don't hesitate to take the apt. if it fits your needs, you won't be sorry... |

| We fell in love with this apartment! The location in Montpartre was perfect: quiet yet only a 5-minute walk to the Metro and numerous cafes, shops, and restaurants. The apartment itself - we'd buy it if we could! It was clean, modern, and stocked with everything you would need. There is no bathtub (only a shower), but that was no problem at all, and I'm one who likes a bubblebath! It was truly a home away from home. AND both the owner and manager are so pleasant and professional to work with. You cannot go wrong with this apartment - enjoy your stay! |

Thank you many, many times for an absolutely wonderful place to stay
while visiting Paris! Your apartment is absolutely beautiful, the
neighborhood is delightful, it was tremendously helpful having a place
to practice, and shopping at the markets and being able to have meals
"at home" was a real bonus. Our stay in Paris couldn't have been better
- largely because of exceptional accommodations. My friends and I are
most grateful for an extraordinary experience! |

We have just returned from our week in Paris. The apartment at 17, rue Damremont was perfect for our family of four. The rooms had so much character, the décor was lovely and the location was ideal. It was a refuge of calm and quiet to return to after long days of sightseeing. We will recommend this apartment very highly to our friends and hope to be able to return ourselves at some stage.

We loved every single minute we spent at 17, rue Damremont. We felt completely at home and deeply appreciated the comfort and quiet elegance of the flat. The kitchen is very well equipped, the living/dining area is spacious, and the bedrooms could not be more comfortable. I only hope it is available for our next trip to Paris.

My wife and I really liked the apartment and the neighbourhood. The apartment is spacious (especially compared to the typical Paris hotel room which is tiny), has lots of character and was reasonably well appointed. For us the highlight was the bedroom, which was lovely and had a great bed. The wide variety of music CD's was a bonus.
The neighbourhood is great, with lots of small stores and restaurants. Lots of character. Reasonably close to 3 metro stations.
Would recommend the apartment to anyone wanting to visit Paris. We really liked being in the Montmartre.

Really enjoyed staying in the apartment. Quite spacious, particularly for Paris. Far preferable to staying in a hotel, especially in Paris where the hotel rooms are quite small.
The neighbourhood is very nice, with lots of shops and restaurants nearby.
The apartment is nicely decorated, particularly the bedrooms. The master bedroom was my favourite room in the apartment and the bed was extremely comfortable.
I would highly recommend the apartment to anyone going to Paris. Staying there is a far nicer experience than being in a hotel.

Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner:
Your apartment was nice,
comfortable, and up to our expectations. I really like the neighborhood near
Abbesses, in fact I had thought to buy something near there a couple of
years ago. But after staying in your apartment I think I like the
Damremont/Lamarck neighborhoods better. Having a piano to use was perhaps
the biggest help to me(as I am getting my masters in Piano Performance and
graduated from the conservatory in Paris).
I hope that your apartment will be available for my next trip to Paris.
Thanks,
Shawn
