| The flat was an excellent base from which to explore Paris. Very comfortable, elegantly furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. Although we pushed the sleeping space to the limits (our 3 children are large teenagers - we effectively had five adults staying there) we felt comfortable. The children were glad of the internet access (we travelled with a laptop). The location was perfect for moving around the city - on the "velib" bikes (two stations to pick these up just round the corner) or the metro (worth getting a "navigo" pass sorted out at the start of the week) or on foot. We loved the feel of the neighbourhood, and at the end of a full and exhausting day of sight-seeing, stepping off the street and into the courtyard at No 6 was a delight. Having a Shoppi supermarket over the road was extremely handy, and the bakery opposite it was lovely. In our dealings with both Paula, the agent, and with the owners we found them to be helpful and efficient. We would love to come again (perhaps when the £ recovers a bit against the euro!) and would definitely like to stay at the flat again. |

| We stayed here with 4 children and LOVED the apartment! The apartment was VERY nice, roomy, and well kept. The owners and Paula were VERY accomodating with our late night arrival and Paula was SO helpful giving us specific bus, metro restaurant info - and even mailed us back our daughter's shoes that we'd forgotten! The metro was right out the front door and a grocery store was right behind - perfect. Highly recommend the rotisserie chicken across from the apartment, too! Loved the non-touristy area - French people are SO nice! We couldn't ask for a better Paris vacation! Would definitely stay in this apartment again!! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment - it is in a fantastic location close to the delights of the different food shops in rue des Martyrs. We particularly enjoyed staying in a non-touristy area. Very close to the Metro which was so convenient. The apartment is very well equipped and care for - Paula was particularly helpful and attentive during the reservation process and when we arrived. We have been to Paris a number of times and this will be our first choice next time we visit. |

We LOVED this apartment! Great location, near TWO different Metro lines, and Darrin, you are right, the buses are great! I look forward to returning to Paris and we would love to stay at 6 Rue St. Lazare again. Thank you! |

| There are not enough kind words to say about our stay at 6 rue saint lazare! The location, Darin and his wife, the beautiful home, and the culture was unforgetable! I would stay again and I have spread the word of this fantastic home to everyone. Thank you for such an amazing vacation. Sharon and Family |

| This apartment has a very cool interior. Well positioned for the local Parisian scene, lots of wine, cheese and fruit selling on your door step. The agents also provide a high level of service. We brought our 18m old son, no problems at all. Would very much consider returning back to the very same apartment!!! |

| We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful apartment. The neighbourhood is so convenient, the shops on Martyrs have everything we needed and more. A short (20 minute) walk to the Louvre, short train ride to other attractions. Sometimes we were quite happy to stay in our neighbourhood and live like Parisians! The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, larger than we expected, and well cared for. In summary, it was a great experience, and one we we would highly recommend to others. Looking forward to returning soon. |

| We could not have been happier with our Paris apartment. The kitchen allowed us to truly enjoy shopping and cooking Parisan style. By staying in such a beautiful apartment in a great neighborhood we were able to feel like true Parisans and not tourists stuck in a generic hotel! |

| We felt like locals while staying at your beautiful apartment. It was quiet and comfortable with every amentity you could ask for. The washer and dryer were a bonus after staying in hotels rooms. (Not to mention the dishwasher for Troy's sippee cups) We will always come back to your Paris apartment. Thank you so much!!! |

This is a fabulous apartment and we would definitely recommend it. It is located in a quaint neighborhood with a supermarket and metro very close by. The apartment was clean, spacious and offered all amenities for comfort.
Our hosts, Darrin and Paula, were very nice and it was comforting to know they were available to help us if needed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. (9/28- 10/9) |

One word sums up this apartment - Wonderful! My husband and I, baby (11 mos) and the grandparents (total of 4.5 people) stayed here for a week. Despite visiting Paris six times, this was our first time renting an apartment and we were a little nervous. We are so glad we put our nerves aside because this was one of the best decisions we made. The apartment is actually quite large with a large living room and master bedroom. The smaller bedroom is a bit smaller but quite comfortable and rivals some master suites in New York City. Aside from the size of the space, the apartment is quite beautiful and homey. Having a passion for design I could not help but envy the kitchen and bathroom. There was no trick photography and the apartment did live up to the pictures posted.
The area was a new area of Paris to us. It added a lot to our trip and really made us feel like residents vs. visitors. The area that is safe and surrounded by beautiful food markets, bakeries restaurants and shops. Not to mention there is a rather large grocery store right across the street from the apartment. Getting around from the apartment was quite easy whether by bus, metro or taxi. I highly recommend the restaurant next door Chez Jean. Living in New York we visit quite a few great restaurants had to be our best dining experience in a long time. Even if you do not go there are many restaurants to choose from.
As far as feeling at home, we could not have been better cared for. Our hosts made us feel at home and were extremely helpful. Our only regret on this trip is that we did not stay longer -it was a business trip. Next time we will definitely rent this apartment again but we will add on at least one more week.
Enjoy Paris and Peace!
