Dear Isabelle,
We wanted to thank you for the use of your Princesse apartment during the week
before Easter. We had a great time in Paris and afterward in Normandy. We wanted
to offer our encouragement to anyone thinking of renting from Isabelle-you can't
go wrong. The apartment was
exactly as described and in the perfect Latin Quarter location for sight seeing.
The Mabillon metro stop nearby was easy to use (and we
particularly appreciated the escalator up after a long day of walking!). We
thought the apartment was just the right size and had
every amenity we could have wanted--for a very fair price.
We particularly enjoyed the nearby restaurants your street is wonderful. We
liked the museums especially the natural history museum
(with the Paris Zoo) and the Rodin Museum. We also loved the concert we attended
at Sainte Chapelle (it was a stroke of good luck to be
standing outside the church as they began to sell tickets--truly an
extraordinary experience). We would also recommend the Paris Walks
tours (information at the nearby Village Voice English bookstore)--we saw both
Montemarte and the nearby churches this way. I also
appreciated the fact that the Roman ruins were very close by. All in all an
excellent choice for a place to stay in a beautiful city.
Please feel free to have anyone contact us if they want further information on
the process of renting the apartment. We have had
mostly good experiences in our travels but I know making arrangements via
internet can be a scary thing. We can truly say that working
with you was a pleasure!

We had never been to France, or Paris,
before. We were traveling with our mid to late teenage daughter and son,
who were quite adaptable but not experienced at international (did I
forget to say we are American?) travel.
My wife found Isabelle's website as we were looking for an "apartment
experience" in Paris rather than a hotel type of accomadation. After
much deliberation on our end, we clicked the "Inquire" and eventually
the "Finalize" buttons and we were committed.
My son and I arrived at Princesse, jet lagged but with our luggage while
my wife and daughter arrived in the same state of fatigue (traveling
from a different departure site) but without their luggage (did I
mention "irritable?"). And then, walked in Isabelle, to welcome us to
Paris and to Princesse. Well first I should say that Princesse was just
as we thought it would be, because isabelle's website portrary's it so
accurately. And then there was Isabelle, who was so gracious and kind
and helpful, making our arrival all the more pleasant.
We loved Paris and we loved Princesse as our home in Paris and all this
was possible because Isabelle rewarded our trust by proving to be
absoluteley reliable in what she represented. Princesse was just as
photographed in Isabelle's website; more to the point, Princesse's
loaction in St Germain des pres was just ideal for us: walking distance
to arrondissements 1-7 (of course there are plenty of Metro short cuts
to walking within these areas too). We could walk but several blocks and
find wonderful cafes or groceries (to buy food for "eating in" at
Princesse) but I must admit that the most wonderful "luxury" was coming
home to Princesse on the Metro via the #10 Line and exiting at Mabillon
Station with its up escalator (no walking up steps as at other close by
Metro stops!) after a full day of "on the hoof" site seeing!
Our blind trust in Isabelle was more than rewarded by her complete
honesty and truthfulness in what she offered. If you embark on this path,
I suspect your expereince will be rewarded, as ours was, too.
Sincerely,
Mike Stadius

Our one bedroom apartment was a lovely apartment located in a fully renovated 18th century building. The furnishings were a combination of antique and contemporary. The living environment was elegant. We loved the large windows that opened to a quiet, private courtyard. It was located down a lovely narrow (very typical Parisian) side street and was in a quiet area (during the day). Across the apartment building was an excellent restaurant called "Henry's" and a couple of bars and other restaurants around the corner.
There was a fresh market around the street and a bakery we visited each morning for chocolate croissants (yum!). We walked to the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louve and other sites. There was excellent shopping right around the corner as several restaurants.
The furniture was in excellent condition and very nice. The apartment was very clean.
The bathroom was beautiful with shower and washbasin.
Kitchen was well equipped with the latest appliances. Since this was our first time to Paris, we didn't cook, but enjoyed the excellent restaurants nearby. The apartment had washer/dryer combination, dishwasher, coffee maker. Kitchen was very clean.
We would definitely stay at this apartment again!
