Below are a few random comments from returning guests:
From G.M., Australia
"In thinking about the apartment and the XIV arrondisement I am reminded of the line from a song (by a little known US 70's band) 'call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye'."
From M.K., Illinois…on being informed that only our “new” apartment will be available for him in the summer of 2010..
"Since I felt in the first apartment like being in a place of a soulmate--there wasn't a single thing I would have changed which had never happened to me before with a rental--I begin to imagine what a fabulous job you will be doing on the new place. In short, I would be very interested."
From S.W., Washington, on being told how much we like having returning guests…
"…back to Paris. It did occur to me that this is my first "repeat" apartment, and it does speak volumes about how I feel about the apartment and the neighborhood. Both were a total delight and so very comfortable………. And yes, I noticed, with a big smile that you "padded" the dates a bit...you know me too well. I am notorious for "stretching" a stay in Paris, and the mind is already going in that direction!"

Having just had the good fortune to spend a month in the Artist’s Atelier, I can say without hesitation that it is a happy choice for anyone wishing for an authentic Parisian experience, for all of the reasons given in the comments following this post. While said comments (all accurate and full of helpful observations and suggestions) are a testament to the wonderful attributes of the property and its owners, they do make it is difficult to find anything to add! Suffice it to say that both location and loft offer a unique and rewarding opportunity to experience Paris as a resident rather than a tourist.
The intriguing space with its multitude of cupboards is remarkably well-designed and well-equipped, and those who go on a treasure hunt will be amply rewarded (hint: look under the bed!). The loft is both a reflection of the owner’s love of place, and their desire to provide their guests with everything necessary for a comfortable and exceedingly pleasant stay in Paris.
To the all-important pâtisserie/boulangerie list, we would add Pâtisserie Le Petit Duc at 7, rue Brézin (open Sunday) and would cast another vote for Parnasse 138 (138 Blvd. du Montparnasese) where we had an excellent and amazingly well-priced Sunday evening dinner.
Merci beaucoup, Ann, for all that you did to insure a truly wonderful visit.

I just finished a most pleasant three-week stay at Ann's artist loft in the Fourteenth District. It is a fabulous place to stay for a week or a month in Paris--or longer! It's clean, well-designed, roomy, bright and comfortable. The apartment is extremely well-furnished; there is plenty of room for storage. The price was reasonable, especially in light of the cost of hotel rooms in Paris. For half the cost of a hotel room the approximate size of the bedroom in this apartment, I was able to rent the whole apartment! Very good value for money.
The area in which the apartment is located, the Alesia neighborhood of the Fourteenth Arr., is lively. It contains within easy walking distance all the shops and businesses one needs to live like a Parisian for a few weeks. The Alesia Metro stop is close at hand. At Ann's suggestion we used the buses more this trip; they were very convenient to the apartment. In this apartment, you're just minutes away from anywhere in Paris you might want to go.
Despite all the foregoing positive points about the apartment, the best part about staying here was getting to meet Ann Ottanelli, the owner. She is one-of-a-kind, in the best sense of the expression. I hope to stay at Impasse du Rouet again sometime because it is a great apartment in Paris, but mainly so I can keep in touch with Ann.
A bientot, Ann! |

Dear Ann,
Thank you very much for all your hospitality before, during and after my week long trip. This was my first time to visit Paris and stay in an apartment rather than a traditional hotel. I felt like a local for a week and that was one of the main reasons for choosing you loft. The easy access to the Metro (Alesia) made it very simple to get anywhere in the city in just minutes. I was very happy to find that the loft is in the city circle where a "foodie" can find a market, fresh bread, grocery stores and several dining and drinking establishments.
The loft itself is very clean and spacious. I appreciate the olive oil you left me from your garden. It was incredible with all the wonderful cheese, charcuterie and Champagne I enjoyed.
I visit Paris every couple of years and wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else.
Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Dear Ann,
It's been harder than ever to adjust to being back in New York after
our wonderful stay in your apartment. The only good thing is that
I'm using my own computer again, and not that confounding little i-
phone we thought would work so well for travel. Though it was quite
portable, it was temperamental and much too small to use easily.
With the economy in tatters, we haven't yet decided when we're coming
back, but we're of course hoping to stay on impasse du Rouet again
when we return. The elevator was great! And your olive oil was so
very wonderful. I am a great devotee of olive oil and use a lot of
it. I really loved this very personal gift.
Thank you once again for sharing your apartment with us. I confess
to feeling a bit "homesick" for it just now.
All best,
Mary

Dear Ann,
Our first week here has passed so quickly! We are so pleased with both the apartment and the neighborhood.
The food shopping nearby is absolutely wonderful. We have especially enjoyed Parc Montsouris, where the leaves are beginning to show their fall colors and where we were
lucky enough to spot seven wild green parrots.
We never did find the shopping cart you mentioned (maybe we overlooked it?), but we have been fine without it.
On our last day, we will leave the envelope and key with the concierge. Of course, we will make sure the apartment is as clean and tidy as possible. We have bought a few paper products, just to replenish. Is there anything
else we can do for you?
Very best wishes from Paris,
Susan
PS The wine you left for us was delicious. It was perfect with a dinner of long-simmered sauté de veau.

I have just spent 2 weeks in Ann's apartment and have been so happy to have chosen it! The area of the 14th is great, the apartment is very well fitted out and comfortable, I really felt like a proper parisien in Paris! I have been studying french for 2 weeks and most of my fellow students complained about the heat in Paris coupled with not being able to open their windows due to the noise of the city. This apartment has no such problem, there are huge windows everywhere and the courtyard is so quiet that it's easy to leave them open for an easy sleep at night even in the heat of summer. The building set up is very secure and all the neighbours are very smiley and friendly. The shops around the apartment are amazing, everything is so handy! And best of all is Ann's personal touch on ensuring that your stay is really enjoyable, she's always been available without delay to answer any questions and even just to say hello to make sure things are going well.
In terms of amenities for those who don't know the area:
- The Alesia métro is just 30 seconds away, making it handy for the whole of Paris. It took me just 1/2h between getting off the Eurostar at Gare du Nord till I found the apartment.
- A huge Champion supermarket is just off Av. Jean Moulin, 30 seconds away with everything you can possibly need from a supermarket.
- Lots of boulangeries pretty much everywhere, you'll be wandering which one to go to next.
- I recommend the italian restaurant on Av. Jean Moulin which serves pizza and pasta, absolutely delicious and they do take away too.
- Plenty of cafés nearby, take your pick!
- And also make sure you try the pancakes from the various stands on Av. General Leclerc!
- A visit to Parc Montsouris is a must, you wouldnt believe how a small park can be so beautiful and peaceful, it's also frequented by parisiens and not a single tourist in sight :). The parc also has a very nice looking restaurant, looked very exclusive and really french, we didn't get a chance to eat there but we'd really like to next time!
All in all, if I come back to Paris in the future, I'd definitely like to stay there again!
Enjoy your stay!

| After having spent five weeks in the apartment in June/July 2008, I can only second everything the previous commentator said about the well-designed, functional, and very comfortable space; the great location, quiet yet close to all the shops, restaurants and public transport you could wish for; and Ann's great care with everything. You will be in very good hands and find a splendid place from which to explore the French capital! If you want to experience some of the real Paris off the beaten track and away from the tourist hords (which you can always join in a ten minute métro or bus ride), then this place is for you. |

We recently spent three weeks in Ann’s lovely apartment and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We chose it because of its close proximity to our daughter’s residence. We found it very comfortable, bright and quiet. It is a remarkably well designed space. We appreciated the efficient, functional kitchen, big tables to spread out all our maps and books and the ample closet and storage space. The location was perfect. We loved the Alesia area, a busy and lively centre in the fourteenth with all the essentials for daily living conveniently just steps away so that you can spend your time enjoying the Paris you came to experience. The metro, bus and tram are minutes away, leading you in any direction. There are many excellent cafes and restaurants and, to add to the list, we had a lovely, reasonably priced meal at Parnasse 138 (138 Bd du Montparnasse).
Ann was always attentive to our comfort and needs, prompt in answering any questions and gracious of her time and concern for us. I talked to her about books we found valuable for this trip such as:
Napias, Jean-Christophe … Quiet Corners of Paris. c2007
Long, Dixon… Markets of Paris. c2006
Pudlowski, Gilles. Pudlo Paris 2007-2008: A Restaurant Guide
British Automobile Association. Frommer’s 24 Great Walks in Paris. c2008
It was a delightful surprise to discover this area of Paris and such a wonderful apartment.

Dear Ann,
My husband and I absolutely loved the apartment, neighborhood and location. After all day of sightseeing and walking I so looked forward to walking into the quiet courtyard and cozy apartment. Paris is our favorite city and it was even better having such a comfortable place to stay that is bright, clean, and happily situated. It couldn’t have been easier to get around with the bus stop and metro within a block away. To be sure we will be returning and would recommend your place to anyone.
Thank you so much,

Anne, thank you for a wonderful week in Paris. The time has flown by since we have returned home! We were spending the holidays with our daughter Sara, who is a student in Paris this year. Your apartment was close to hers which worked perfectly! I appreciated your having her over for tea so that she could see the apartment ahead of time. We had other family members in town and we loved having a place to gather and be together for New Year’s Eve. We had plenty of space with the nice sectional couch and sizeable table. The huge windows provided lots of light and increased the feeling of spaciousness and the entire apartment was very well stocked.
The location was perfect- not only was it was near Sara, it was close to all kinds of shops, restaurants and markets. We loved the feeling of living life as the “Parisians” do! After hours of sightseeing out in the cold weather, we enjoyed coming home to our cozy “home away from home.” Sometimes we cooked our own dinner with finds from the market, sometimes we stepped out to one of the local restaurants you recommended. The access was great, just steps from the Alesia metro stop on Line 4, which went right into the center of the city. We were easily able to take the RER and metro from CDG airport.
Such a holiday; one we won’t easily forget! We look forward to returning and spending time in your apartment in the future. Thank you again for all your help, and making it so easy! You are a splendid hostess indeed.

Dear Ann,
Kate and I had an absolutely wonderful week. Your apartment was perfect for us. What a gift it was to spend this time together. We did have some rain most days, but we were prepared for it and made the most of the sun when it appeared. Paris was amazingly free of tourists. The only lines we stood in were at boulangeries! When we left on December 8th, even CDG was calm and peaceful.
Anna did come by with a nice bottle of wine--thank you! On our last day I gave the key to Mme. Khenify in an envelope with instructions.
I can't tell you how much fun it was to see Kate enjoying Paris. She loved it. We walked through the Champs de Mars at dusk to see the illuminated Eiffel Tower; we didn't ascend it but stood beneath it and looked upward. We went to the Sainte Chappelle on a sunny morning. We went to Notre Dame, where we heard an organ recital and Kate climbed the towers. We saw the Arc de Triomphe. We saw the Giacometti show and walked by his studio on the same day. We visited some of my favorite rooms at my favorite museums. We shopped. We cooked. We enjoyed leisurely meals out. We went to the movies, browsed in book stores, got fallafel sandwiches at l'As on rue des Rosiers, ate crepes on the street--I could go on and on. Kate was amazed by the beauty and liveability of Paris. She wants to start planning another trip!
Speaking of which, Sandy and I will certainly be in touch when we know the possible dates of our next trip, as we would love to stay on impasse du Rouet again. Sadly, it may not be until the fall, as our other daughter, Jane, is getting married in the spring. We love your apartment and neighborhood so much that we would plan a trip around its availability rather than stay anywhere else.
Thank you for providing the perfect setting for our mother-daughter week.
All best,
Mary

Dear Ann.
Your apartment was the treat of our month being in France. Our ten day stay was great. You are located in a wonderful neighborhood with easy access to everything. We appreciate all of the help and kindness of making this a wonderful experience for us. Our next trip back to Paris we will be sure to return to your lovely apartment. My wife had the time of her life and is always talking about the well kept apartment and time spent after our long days in the calle. Thank you once again. Anyone looking for a nice safe neighborhood with stores, shops, restaurants, metro stop and bus to the museums outside, this is the place to stay.

Dear Ann,
As I sat down to write to you, I found your message waiting! Thank you so much for the use of your wonderful apartment. Sandy and I had a great two weeks there, transit strike and all! We gave our key to Mme. Khenify on the last day (we had a nice chat about her cats), and we also met Myrna, who was very friendly and pleasant. The apartment will be perfect for Kate and me during our December mother-daughter week. It will be her first trip to Paris!
Sandy and I had such fun just walking and walking. We found the locations of various artists' studios, such as deStael, Laurens,and Giacometti. We very much enjoyed the Courbet and Giacometti shows. We also found the food shopping to be absolutely wonderful. The boulangerie and wine shop on rue Alphonse Daudet became favorites of ours. And thank you for recommending the Bouquet; we spent many happy hours there. We're hoping to return to Paris at least once
next year, so I'll be in touch as we begin to make those plans.
Sandy joins me in many thanks and best wishes,
Mary

My husband & I recently spent two weeks in Ann's
apartment. Our expectations were exceeded in
every way, & we look forward to staying there
again.
The apartment itself is bright, spacious, &
comfortable. We felt at home there right away. The
kitchen is indeed well stocked, & we cooked many
memorable meals there. From the apartment's
upper level, we could see a variety of Parisian
rooftops, the spire of St. Pierre de Montrouge, & an
expanse of sky from the soaring windows. Each
time we stepped into the building's courtyard, we
felt as though we had entered a hidden, magical
world.
We wanted to stay in a vibrant & authentic
residential neighborhood with easy access to
central Paris, so the location was perfect for us.
Metro and bus connections are excellent, & (if there
is no strike!) the RER "B" to or from CDG is quick &
easy. There is abundant shopping of all kinds. We
like to cook, & we did not have to go far to find
ingredients to make wonderful meals. There is a
little shopping area near villa d'Orléans with a
boucherie, fromagerie, fish & fruit/vegetable
markets. Champion (a large supermarket) & several
branches of Monoprix are nearby. There is also the
Mouton-Duvernet market on Tuesday & Friday
mornings, & the wonderful rue Daguerre. We
became quite fond of the wine shop & boulangerie
(open weekends) on rue Alphonse Daudet. We
enjoyed having an occasional meal or coffee at the
Bouquet d'Alésia, where the waiters still wear long
white aprons & the people-watching is superb.
Another frequent destination was Parc Montsouris,
which has many beautiful old trees, lush plantings,
resident ducks, geese, & herons--& a flock of wild
green parrots (look & listen for them in the trees
around the lake).
From our initial inquiry onward, it was a pleasure to
work with Ann. All questions were answered
quickly & all arrangements handled beautifully. We
have rented through an agency before, & this was
much easier, more personal, & far more pleasant.
Thank you, Ann, for a delightful stay!

We just spent 2 delightful weeks in this apartment, and are already planning to stay there again. The apartment itself is spacious, as it is split into two levels, and there are huge tall windows that let in lots of light. You can tell that the owners stay there themselves sometimes, because all the little things you want to have wherever you are living, are present! We cooked a lot--there are both grocery stores and outdoor markets quite nearby, and we found the kitchen well-equipped. Ann was extremeley friendly and a pleasure to work with, in sorting out arrangement details.
As for the area...we really like staying in the 14th--it is quite a nice neighborhood, away from the central tourist areas, which is our preference. This apartment is right by the Alesia metro (line 4), so it is very easy to get around to museums and other attractions when you feel so inclined. In addition, the corners of Avenue du General Leclerc and Alesia have bus stops to take you in any direction, if you prefer to be above ground to see Paris as you move across it. There is also a bank ATM machine just across the street, and one of the new Velib bicycle stations, although We didn't try that this time.
We loved walking East a few blocks to Parc Moutsouris. On Saturday morning we stumbled on a huge outdoor market just northeast of the Parc.
Our favorite food spots nearby: the local Boulangerie, just down Avenue Jean Moulin, for bread and individual desserts. The restaurant Chez Charles-Victor on Rue Brezin, for an excellent and very reasonable dinner splurge, and a little Chinese restaurant--Wing Yun--just down on Avenue Jean Moulin. |

| My teenage daughter and I spent a week in this lovely, light filled apartment in Paris. It was bright, clean, spacious, and serene. If you want a truly Parisian visit, this is a very nice neighborhood to stay in. The owners have done a nice job of renovating the apartment. We loved all the plants in the courtyard, and staying here was much quieter because it is secluded from the noise of traffic. The lovely windows in the apartment made it bright, and the apartment had everything we needed for a lovely week in Paris. The best shopping was right along the main streets near the apartment for clothes and shoes. This area is where Parisians shop. We enjoyed the good good at the local restaurants and cafes just on the corner, just perfect for people watching with a glass of wine in hand. (The duck with potato au gratin, and the grilled salmon at la Bouquet de Alesia were delicious, also the Calamari appetizer at le Zeyer is very good). Rue Daguerre, within walking distance, had nice shops from which we got fresh produce, meat, bread, cheese to cook our own meals. There is also a good Italian Gelato place there. In this area, we seldom saw other tourists, and this was just what we wanted for our trip. The apartment is steps from the Metro, with very quick access to the major tourist destinations (Notre Dame 15 mins via Metro or bus). Each time we visited a tourist attraction, we were always so glad to return to our corner of Paris. We were very pleased to stay in the apartment, and we will certainly return again! |

| Our family of three spent two months in this wonderfully converted artist's loft. The apartment is beautiful, efficiently designed, and full of light. We have lived now in six different rental apartments in Paris, and this was by far the best. The quartier was also a pleasant surprise, with wonderful shopping, fantastic restaurants, and kind and friendly neighbors. We can't wait to return. |

| The best of both worlds. An authentic neighborhood with easy access by bus, metro, or foot to all the desired sites. Fun to be tucked away in an off-the-street retreat, with great eating and bistro-sitting in the area (we liked Fils de la Ferme). A true Parisian immersion in an up-to-date apartment with marvelously accommodating and helpful owners. That we are repeat visitors is the ultimate recommendation. |

We have rented a number of Paris apartments via the VRBO site over the last few years – this is our favourite. It’s comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated, in an unusual setting with a lot of Parisian charm. Its location in the 14th arrondissement, where there are far more Parisians than tourists, is close to shops, restaurants, cinema and well served by bus and metro.
Ann could not have been more friendly and attentive, responding to our requests quickly and helpfully every time.
We have stayed here twice in the last 3 months and have booked further trips. We would recommend this apartment without hesitation.

| I rented this apartment for the month of July and enjoyed my time there very much. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, the apartment is filled with light and it was truly a home away from home. We spent a lot of time laughing and talking on the very comfortable lounge chairs, gazing up at the sky through the impressive windows! Parc Montsouris is a 10 minute walk from the apartment and it is wonderful to have some greenery within walking distance. We had many a picnic there and I also walked there almost every afternoon for some peaceful exercise. With the metro stop almost at the front door, plenty of food stores, cinemas nearby and a beautiful church on the doorstep, I found the location to be excellent and would recommend it to anybody who is looking for a truly Parisian experience. |

We stayed in Paris for a week during last august and feel completely at home
because the apartment is very very nice and comfortable: it is bright and spacious, close to everything one could need (boulangeries, supermarkets, shops, restaurants...) and especially metro n.4 is just a few steps, so you are really near from everything in Paris. If you want to know and love Paris this is the right place. Thank you very much for this unforgettable holiday!

We stayed in Ann's apartment for one month and enjoyed every minute of it. The apartment was quite comfortable, surprisingly quiet and had everything we needed. It is close to everything one could conceivably need and there is a good choice of supermarkets, traiteurs, boulangeries, etc. There are several good restaurants within walking distance. We particularly liked one of Ann's suggestions -Les Vendanges- and would add one of our own: La Maison Courtine on Avenue du Maine, a reasonably priced one Michelin star restaurant.
Transportation via Metro or bus is steps away from the building's entrance. The pretty Parc Montsouris is fairly close and excellent for jogging.
Finally, Ann could not have been kinder. She patiently answered all our questions before and during our stay. She also gave us a lot of useful information about the neighborhood.
On our next Paris visit we would not consider staying any place else. |

I was so pleased to find a little haven in Paris for my parents' recent visit to Paris. The atelier (artist's studio) has been beautifully renovated. While being close to the center of Paris and all the major sites, the apartment is tucked away in a quiet courtyard home to artists from the 20s and 30s.
I would highly recommend this property to any visitor looking for a real Parisien experience. |

We were going to Paris to attend our daughter's wedding and decided to rent an apartment rather than stay in a hotel.
As soon as we entered this lovely apartment we knew we had made an excellent choice. It is bright and spacious, along with being cozy and welcoming.
Everything you need is right outside the apartment - restaurants, markets, the metro and bus stops. You are literally 20 minutes from everything in Paris. The apartment itself has everything you need to feel completely at home.
Thank you Ann for making our choice of accommadations absolutely perfect.
We are looking forward to our next
visit to our daughter and new son-in-law.

The location of the apartment building is convenient to downtown Paris--which was wonderful for vacationers who want to experience both the local culture as well as the beautiful city of Paris! City transportation is just a few steps off the busy street into the obscure entry leading to the apartment building. Once in the building, one winds up the two flights of stairs, definitely a way to keep in condition and possibly a bit of a challenge for elders. However, once inside one will find a secluded, beautiful, welcoming apartment, with all the amenities of 'home-away-from-home'! The design of the apartment is unique and extremely efficient, with interesting objects and decor. A word of caution is to be mindful of the neighbors, as the walls are thin and sounds do carry. Back out on the street there are lots of opportunities for groceries, pharmacy, other shopping, and transportation -- all within a short walk of the apartment building! We enjoyed our two-week stay in this dwelling very much and happily recommend it to others!

We have such a marvellous time whenever we go and stay in your cozy little apartment. We just move in and "live" in Paris for the duration of our stay; for us, going to Paris is almost like going back home, so we do not feel like tourists at all, and what a difference that makes.
Thanks again for letting us use your wonderful Paris "pied a terre" . We hope to be able to go back there again soon.
