Jules,
Just a quick Thank You! For the use of the Yellow Flat. We had a great time and it was everything we hoped it would be. The flat was great and suited us perfectly for its size and location. Brilliant!
We also took your advice and went to Au Bon Accueil for our anniversary. Wow! The food, the wine, the service – breathtaking. Simply perfect from our point of view.
Thanks again. We hope to have need of the Yellow Flat again in a few years and we’ll be in touch!

| Our stay in the Yellow Flat in September, 2009, was nothing less than wonderful. Thanks to Thierry for finding us as we walked from the Metro station, and showing us to the lovely apartment. We felt like part of the real Paris, even more so while having dinner one evening at Cafe Le Piquet and meeting a lovely couple from the neighborhood, who provided valuable tips on museums, markets,and more. The apartment was marvelous, newly remodeled, with shops and groceries nearby, and only 15 minutes to the Eiffel Tower. We recommend Fat Tire Tours, whose office is only a five minute walk from the apartment, for walking and bicycle tours of Paris and Versailles. Thank you Jules. |

We have used Fat Tire on several trips and had a great time touring Paris by bike, especially on Sundays. Thanks for your kind words Jim.

| The apartment is perfect. We were met - on time - by our local contact/mgr. He was very helpful,patiently explainng all the features of the flat. (There is a very thorough guide in the apartment to refresh your memory later!) Everything you could need is in the apartment. We were a party of four. Our daughter and son-in-law slept in the living room, on a comfortable sofa/bed conversion. The building and street - very quiet. We would never stay elsewhere in Paris. It is a great homebase! |

We arrived back home on Thursday evening, June 4
from our trip! So now let us say thanks and praise
the apartment. It was so nice to feel part of a
neighborhood, and less like tourists, in the yellow
flat. Although we didn't spend much time there, it
was a great place to come home to each evening
and collapse! The convenience of the grocery store,
the boulangerie so close by, as well as the Metro,
the Eiffel Tower and restaurants. Excellent spot.
The apartment was quiet, had everything we could
possibly need and definitely felt like our home away
from home. I hope we will be able to return to the
wonderful yellow flat again.

Thanks to Jules & Florence for sharing the apartment! My husband and I had a wonderful New Year's in Paris. The location was fantastic, close to the Metro and great cafes. We walked, and walked and walked! The apartment was bright and cheerful, clean and the perfect amount of space. Thierry was very helpful when we arrived and encouraged us to contact him if we needed anything while in the city.
We look forward to staying in the Yellow Apartment next time we're in Paris. |

We are just home last night from our wonderful week in Paris. Your apartment is wonderful and was perfect for us. We have stayed in Paris a number of times and have rented another apartment nearby which the owner has recently sold. We can't say enough how much we enjoyed your place. Audrey met us at the appointed time and gave us the tour. We did not meet Theirry but did talk to him when we had a couple of questions and he was so helpful!! We loved the instruction book with the pictures, the decor, the washer/dryer, the location, and the personal touches. The kitchen was well supplied and easy to work in. The nice bathroom and shower were also a plus. And, we couldn't believe how quiet the neighborhood was!!
We will definitely be back and we also will recommend your place to friends and family Our experience was outstanding. Thank you so much.

| Our party of three--myself, my sister-in-law, and 18-year old niece--stayed in the apartment in July, 2008, and it was a great alternative to a hotel. Though compact, the apartment was very comfortable for a party of three, and we loved the neighborhood with lots of wonderful restautants within walking distance, as well as groceries and markets. It's tucked away in a residential area off a main street, so it is quiet with a feeling of privacy, yet very convenient to everything. Jules was great to work with, and the apartment management was top notch. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. |

| "Don't let the rather non-descript building alarm you. The yellow flat is a sweet retreat in a busy, bustling and beautiful city. And it's near the Eiffel Tower which I loved. (It's also very close to a Metro stop.) The apartment has everything you need. Its miniature kitchen is very well equipped and I especially liked the stylish dinner ware. My husband was reading the guest entries and found that a friend had stayed there last year. What a coincidence! But it truly is a great place to settle in for a week or more. Oh, and the bi-weekly market is so handy. It took me about three minutes to select two bracelets there! But it offers much more--fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, etc. I'm just a little bit sorry that we didn't cook. And, most important, is the lovely patisserie right around the corner. My husband and I enjoyed their wonderful fresh (filled ) croissants at the flat every morning! Add a good cup or two of home-brewed coffee, and you're ready to take Paris by storm!" |

Hi Jules;
We just want to let you know how thrilled we were with your "yellow flat" in Paris this past August.
Everything was perfect; from Thierry meeting us on our arrival, to the location, to the apartment itself. We couldn't have asked for more.
It was a lovely way to end our family vacation before heading home to pack up our oldest daughter who left for university shortly after our return. We want to thank you so much for providing us the opportunity to feel right at home -- we did!
We are already looking forward to our next Paris vacation, and hope that 9 Rue Alasseur will be our home once again.
Regards,

Jules and Flo,
Thank you for sharing your yellow apartment with us; it was great! The updated kitchen was beautiful, clean, and so efficient that my daughter and I prepared meals together. Everything we needed was right at hand. The nearby markets made shopping for fresh foods each evening easy. The bakery around the corner had great breads and pastries. We always felt safe, and the sound of children laughing in the evenings and someone practicing beginning clarinet once let us know it was a family neighborhood. It was so nice to have a quiet, comfortable place to return to each night with enough room for the four of us to read or to journal. Here is what we loved: the ceiling fan (did not need the air conditioner), the very comfortable beds, the washer/dryer, the storage space, the nearby metro, walking to the Eiffel Tower late at night, the secure entrance, the cool breeze through the open windows, the quiet neighborhood, your quick replies to our questions as well as the helpful info you sent us, and being met by Thierry! When we come back, we'll check with you first! Valerie |

| Thank you for sharing your terrific apartment for our trip to Paris. After 10 nights, we felt this was our home away from home. The location just cannot be beat...and we enjoyed the surrounding neighborhoods as well as the easy metro access to all of Paris. We found many great restaurants, and enjoyed our view of the Parisian sky at sunset every day. The street is quiet and we slept well. Your apartment really MADE the trip work. Thanks again. |

Hi Jules,
Just a quick note to thank you. We had a great time in Paris. The apartment was centrally located and we can walk to the Eiffel Tower! The place had just what we needed, including a balcony that was utilized almost every morning/evening when we are in. The restaurant list was very useful. We love Mansouri----and it's only two metro stops from the apartment.
I just want to mention "Fat Tire" Bike Tour in Versailles. Their headquarter in Paris is a 5 minutes walk from the apartment and they do a great bike tour. Everyone there speaks English and the tour is done in English. The tour takes you riding in the streets of Paris from their headquarter to the RER station. You then board your train to Versailles' open market to get stables for your picnic before riding the grounds. We had a great time and thought your guests might like it, too.
It was nice to work with you. Everything was so easy and I love the fact that you replied very quickly to any questions or concerns that we had. Thiery was great and very personable. Thank you, Rosine

Dear Jules and Florence;
Thank you for sharing your cozy flat with us. We enjoyed all of the modern upgraded amenities. We visit Paris annually and your flat by far was teh most comfortable and thoughfully laid out.
The neighbohood feels safe. We walked to Eiffel Tower at 10 PM to see it lit up in the evening sky. Having 2 kids this was something we couldn't do before.
We appreciated the "yellow flat" instruction book too. I know it must have taken a lot time to create, but it is very thoughtful and reflects well upon you. We promise to return.

We have enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It is very central and easy to access all of Paris. Having the Eiffel Tower just a few blocks away was very exciting. We appreciated the detailed instructions on how to use the appliances.
We enjoyed living in a local community shopping eating and drinking in local places. Really saw the difference when we went into the tourist areas. Thank you we certainly will stay here again and tell others about it.

Thanks for making it available for visitors as it just enriches the whole experience. Thierry was so wonderful and so helpful in making arrangements for us to go to the airport. Thanks again for renting to us.

Val & I want to thank you for your hospitality and for the bottle of champagne. The champagne was a very pleasant surprise and we greatly appreciated it.
Your apartment is wonderful. We could not have been more pleased with the accomodations. The location, the amenities, and the furnishings were all spectacular. I can't begin to tell you how much we appreciated, and needed, the air conditioner- it was a true blessing.
Our stay in Paris was memorable and the trip of a lifetime. Our wonderful experience was due, in large part, to the apartment. The apartment enhanced our comfort and greatly contributed to our flexibility.
We would be glad to be a reference for you to future tenants |

Thank you so much to you and your wife for have given us the opportunity to stay in your beautiful flat. To say we had an amazing time is an understatement. After walking the many miles, climbing the hundreds of steps and seeing the great churches and museums we are wondering when can we return to see some more.
