I spent a month at 14 rue Houdon on a business trip to Paris. The apartment is comfortable, quiet, and convieniently located in a great neighborhood.
The apartment is not directly on the street making a surprisingly quiet stay in a bustling neighborhood. The place is fully equipped with laundry and all the kitchen supplies you could want, making an extended visit much easier. Having wireless internet was very nice as well. The management of the apartment was great - Lauren Greenwald responded quickly to minor problems I had with the mailbox and the cable TV.
Montmartre is a wonderful neighborhood. I enjoyed having the "3rd best baguettes in Paris" less than a block away. Other excellent bakeries and restaurants abound, and there are gorgeous views of the city from the nearby Butte de Montmartre. There are two grocery stores within a couple of blocks.
The apartment is very close to two metro lines and a 15 minute walk to Gare du Nord, making the rest of Paris quickly accessible. I commuted to either Denfert-Rochereau or to Orsay (a suburb of Paris) nearly every day, and it was quite easy and fast.
Thanks!

Location, location, location! The cozy apartment at 14 rue Houdon has it all…charm, modern conveniences, tranquility, and a superb situation for either a short or an extended visit to Paris. Located at the base of Butte Montmartre, it is a 2 minute walk to the Metro, 2 minutes to a veritable cornucopia of wonderful food and wine shops at Marche Lepic, 2 minutes from more restaurants and bistros than one can begin to catalog, and a short jaunt up to the Sacre Couer which offers the best view of Paris at any time of the day or night. The surrounding neighborhood is bursting with character and asks to be explored at leisure.
The apartment is one floor up off of a quiet courtyard…a big plus in Paris. Everything is new and tasteful, shining and efficient, light and airy. My wife and I could have stayed a much longer time without feeling cramped. As it was, 14 rue Houdon quickly became our home away from home. It had everything we needed and more. We eagerly look forward to returning for our next visit.

We found the apartment at 14 rue Houdon comforting as soon as we walked through the front door. The apartment is furnished and decorated in a style that makes it feel like home and we were able to slip comfortably into it immediately. While provided with absolutely everything, there is an absence of cluttered spaces and ample cupboard/wardrobe space in both bedrooms and the bathroom allowed us to easily make it "ours" for our short stay. The beds are both firm and comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. The bathroom is fantastic; large and clean, with two showers and a bath and double vanity basins. Often it is the bathroom that diminishes a rental apartment, here the reverse is true! The lounge/dining space is not large, but it is certainly more than adequate and comfortable. The kitchen is also small, but equipped superbly with new appliances and designed to operate effectively. We were happy to spend our last few days in Paris at 14 rue Houdon and have fond memories of it.

We had a very pleasant stay at Rue Houdon. The apartment was clean and quiet, everything was working fine. We never stayed in an apartment with Internet connection (WiFi), which we used to email friends and plan our programmes in Paris. We really appreciated your support at the time of renting the apartment and your colleague who helped us to solve our parking ticket problem as well.

I loved the apartment! So well stocked and appointed. The apartment location was fantastic! Easy to get everywhere. The neighborhood was very safe. My sister and I so enjoyed walking around in Montmatre -- every day we discovered a new spot. By staying in the apartment we had the opportunity to live in Paris rather than experience the city as a tourist living in a hotel. The apartment was spotless when we arrived even though it had only been vacated earlier in the day. Lauren was very professional and extremely helpful and responsive to all of our requests for assistance. Because I was taking the flower course at the Hotel Crillon I had the opportunity to use the metro and to take taxis. Both forms of transportation were relatively inexpensive. We ate well the entire time we were in Paris. However, Chez Grisette was a very big hit -- the food was divine! It was right next door! And, the owners were so lovely and helpful. Please let me know which weeks in the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 because I am ready to book the apartment again.
