We love Paris in the Springtime, but we love it better in the Fall when the leaves are turning colors along the Seine!
The Stekler's pretty studio apartment is in the perfect location for sightseeing and soaking up the sights and sounds of the Marais. Theirry, the apartment manager, met us and oriented us to the apartment and the environs which was very helpful. We enjoyed meeting and entertaining our friends at the studio as well as having a place to relax and enjoy light dining. We would
love to return and would recommend it to all.

| The apartment owned by the Steckers is simply in the perfect location. The Marais is wonderful for shopping and many sights: Notre Dame, Hotel De Ville, Seine river and many others are all within walking distance. It is also close to two metro stations. (St Paul & Hotel De Ville) I without a doubt will stay again when I return to Paris. Definitely recomended! |

The Steckers own a wonderful studio apartment in the Marais, they are fantastic hosts and I will not hesitate to stay there again the next time I
am in Paris.
The location in the Marais is an atmospheric, convenient and delightful part of Paris. There are shops, markets, museums, restaurants, sights,
Metro and bus stations -- all close by. The Seine is a few blocks away. Exploring and getting to know the neighborhood was one of the best
parts of my trip. The Marais is a unique neighborhood in Paris.
The studio is charming, with its fold-out queen bed, a perfect size for a couple or someone traveling by themselves. Hearing the bells of the
church nearby through the courtyard behind the building is a wonderful experience. The kitchen is nicely equipped, and for breakfasts and the
(admittedly rare) times I ate a lunch or dinner at the apartment, it works very well.
Thierry who manages the apartment in Paris is caring and attentive and knowledgeable -- my thanks to him, his kind partner, and to the
woman who cleaned the apartment so magnificently while I was there.
Be prepared for stairs as you climb up to the apartment, but, hey, it is good for those glutes after all the baguettes and amazing French food
you will eat on your trip, yes?
I miss the studio, which means it became a home for me while I was in Paris. Alix, Stephen, Thierry and everyone will help you feel at home.
Be prepared for a marvelous stay. I can honestly say it was worth every euro and then some, and I look forward to returning for another visit
in the fall of 2009!

| We had a fabulous time in Paris. The apartment was in the best location we have ever stayed. You can walk to everything, and we did. Having the sunny retreat made the trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable. The well equiped kitchen was so nice for our breakfasts, and snacks. We finally could shop at the markets and have a place to bring goodies back to, the big wine glasses were nice too. |

Our visit to Paris was fantastic and living at 21 Rue du Pont Louis-Phillip definietly added to our positive experience. We enjoyed eating fresh croissants from the bakery downstairs and sitting by the window in the morning to watch the city wake up. We explored much of Paris by foot and found this location to be an ideal starting point. We found new places to eat every day as there is no lack of restaurants in the Marais. It was a pleasure to stay in this cosy apartment and we would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone going to Paris.

Dear Alix, please add this comment in the guestbook.
We appreciated the privacy of the flat , the location , the helpful guidebooks , the movies , the wine , the access to everything , but mostly having somewhere to stay in Paris that feels like it is your own .
We would love to stay again and hopefully we will,

We had a wonderful time in France and absolutely loved your studio and the Marais. Jeanie aptly named this area the SoHo of Paris which reminded us of NYC. The weather was perfect, especially for Paris.
This trip reinforced my pride in my French ancestry. We met so many friendly people in both Nice and Paris including Tierry who was most helpful and accomodating.
We’ve already recommended it to our friends and acquaintances.
Thank you

| My teenage daughter and I spent a wonderful week in this apartment and are sad to have had to leave! The location is perfect - perhaps the best in Paris. We walked to the Marais, the Ile St. Louis, Notre Dame, and many other places. This is a real Parisian neighborhood with very few tourists so you really get a feel for what it would be like to live there. Many great restaurants, boulangeries, and ice cream shops are but an easy walk from this apartment. We will definitely stay here next time we vixit Paris! |

| I just spent a month (March/April 2007) in this charming apartment and did not want to leave! It offers excellent value for money in a perfect location. The apartment was well-maintained, quiet and exceptionally equipped (the espresso machine was a great bonus!). Walking distance to the wonderful Marais on one side and a block from the delightful Ile St Louis on the other - perfect! Several handy metro stations are also close by. Great kitchen for a studio, separated out from the main living room. The bathroom is small but perfectly clean and functional. It is a rare treat to have so much light, sun and air in a small apartment. Both the landlord and caretaker were exceptionally polite and helpful. Highly recommended. |

Paul and I stayed in this delightful studio in September 2006. The location is superb,maybe 2/3 of a block from the Seine and a couple of blocks from 2 Metro stops.It is very clean, the appliances are new and the bed is very comfortable.
The galley kitchen proved perfect for our evening meals.
The owner is very accommodating and easy to reach.
We always hope to return to Paris and we would gladly stay here again.
Thank you, Alix!

Sooooo happy with our trip ! We were very happy with your apartment. The location is just fantastic. I am sure that, with your permission, we will use it again soon for our NEXT Paris trip.
Best wishes. Zak and Maryla

Thanks for staying on top of all this. You're a good landlord. It's
delightful to have this small, central apt, rather than staying in a
hotel. Marcia

Bonjour,
We loved the apartment and the location. We had a fabulous week.
This is our seventh visit to Paris. When we go again, you will be hearing from us. It was a wonderful experience to be in an apartment. And in the Marais no less. We had a fantastic week and being in your apartment in the Marais was wonderful.
Sincerely, Edith and Ralph
