We had a great time while in Paris Oct 16 - 24...the weather was fine for the most part, the people friendlier and the city cleaner than we had been lead to expect.
The apartment Quai de Bourbon was terrific. We told the owner we thoroughly enjoyed it and other than for a couple of very minor suggestions (which he said he would incorporate) it was perfect; both from a location standpoint and a comfort standpoint.
During our stay in Paris we spent 2 days on the Open Tour Green Bus--the four routes which really gave us a good overview of central Paris.
The first day we just travelled the entire 4 routes then on the second day got off and walked in Montmartre (visiting the Sacred Heart Church and the surrounding area), the Latin Quarter and the Eiffel Tower area. We walked to the Latin Quarter, home from the Eiffel Tour (after going up in the daylight, eating in the area and then going back to see the light display at 8 pm) and walked to the Louvre, spent 6 hours touring and then walked home...always feeling safe. I would say that the Greek Restaurants in the Latin Quarter were the biggest disappointment...proving once again that you get what you pay for!!

Anyway...I hope that is the kind of feedback you were looking for and if not, just ask me more specifically. We will keep in touch and spread your web site around our friends.

The apartment was fabulous. It seems like it was recently renovated - all of the appliances were very new and the space was very clean with minimal furniture, making it easy to settle in with our luggage. We were a little worried about the sofa-bed, because they tend to not be very comfortable in America, but the sofa-bed in this apartment had a thick mattress that was incredibly comfortable.

The best part of the apartment was its location. We could walk to two Metro / RER stations in less than five minutes - Maubert - Mutualite (10) and St. Michel - Notre Dame (4, B, C). It was a ten minute walk across the Seine to the Chatelet (1, 4, 14, 7) and Hotel De Ville (1, 11) Metro stops. But we barely needed to use the Metro because we were able to easily walk to the Louvre, the Pompidou Center, Bastille, Palais du Luxembourg, and the Musee d'Orsay. Notre Dame was a daily sight. Also, there were two Franprix grocery stores and a boulangerie within two blocks so we were able to easily pick up bread, yogurt, orange juice, toiletries, etc., as we needed them throughout our stay.

Also, the owner was very attentive and accommodating. She was a pleasure to work with and seems very trust-worthy and eager to make sure her tenants needs are met.

The only things I'd want to advise the next customers about are the stairs and the size of the apartment.
This is your typical metropolitan studio apartment - don't go into this expecting a lot of space, especially when the sofa-bed is unfolded.
The apartment is the perfect size for two people who pack lightly,the apartment is on the fourth floor of the building and there's no elevator.
We're both in pretty good shape, so we didn't have a problem going up and down the stairs multiple times a day, but I could see them being difficult for some people,
All the best,

We had a wonderful time in our apartment on the Rue Alexandre Parodi. The apartment is not large, but it is ingeniously arranged and the three of us felt totally at home there. Kareem (the owner) is extremely gracious, his sense of design is evident in the tasteful way in which the apartment is decorated. The neighborhood is wonderful - we enjoyed walking along the canal, the local boulangerie and the proximity to the Louis Blanc metro, which made getting around to the tourist sights easy. We liked the fact that while close to all of the sights, we did not feel we were in a "tourist" area. We highly recommend the apartment for anyone who wants to spend a pleasant week in Paris.

I was really pleased with the stay in Paris Marie. Julie was charming and accommodating and I am very grateful for your responsiveness. I have had some bad experiences in the past renting places on the web. This was exactly the opposite.

We had a wonderful time in Paris. The houseboat was exactly what we had hoped for and more. Her situation was fantastic: 20 minutes' walk from Notre Dame and a short stroll to the RER or the Metro. There were great restaurants nearby (especially the seafood joints over the road from the Gare de Lyon) and the owner of the boat was hospitable and told us everything we needed to know. The boat was beautifully kept and comfortable. We were truly sad to leave. Our stay simply could not have been better. We had the perfect honeymoon and would recommend waking up to the Seine lapping that houseboat to anybody looking for a romantic and charmingly unique Parisian experience. Thank you for the chance to enjoy a week we will never forget. With all best wishes and gratitude,

I would just like to let you know that we enjoyed our stay in the apartment very much.
It is nicely furnished, has a bright and happy feeling and during our stay in Paris it was like a home away from home. We would stay there again if we should come back to Paris. It is very close to the Metro and there is also a bus-stop near by. An extra plus is the twice weekly market down the street which takes place on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
Thank you for your help in making our holiday most enjoyable.

Corrinne was very gracious, I was also impressed Paris Be A Part of It service - very professional and well-organized. I own a vacation home in Carcassonne, and I manage the bookings myself, so I know that it requires good organization to run holiday bookings well.
When we return to Paris with a large group, we'd certainly like to rent Peniche 33 again. And even if there's just 2-3 of us next time, we'll use your agency to find good accomodation in Paris. Thanks again,

Our stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend Paris Be a Part of It as well as the Bastille Apartment to anyone looking to stay in Paris! The accessibility to the metro, batobus, taxis etc. were definitely a highlight. The neighborhood in which we stayed was fantisic and the owner is an exceptional host. the view of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower made the stay all that more beautiful. thank you for helping to make my first trip to France an unforgettable one!

Hi, Valerie your employee worked very hard to find us an apartment at very short notice after we had been let down by another company only 36 hours before we were due to arrive. Please pass on many thanks to her for all her help.
The apartment was very good.
Considering the owners had so little time to prepare for our arrival, they were amazing. The welcome was warm, they had left us food, area information and even a bottle of wine. All of this made us feel very happy.
The apartment itself is quirky and homely and we felt very comfortable there. The fact you can walk round the corner and get one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower is fantastic.
Again, many thanks to you and to the owners of the apartment for saving our holiday and being so helpful, I wouldn't hesitate to use your company again. Kind regards

Hi,

The apartment was beautiful. The owners, neighbors and Theresa the caretaker were very gracious. The garden was amazing. It was so peaceful and relaxing that we didn't want to leave even to go out into the best city in the world.

The owners were very generous, they provided wine, fixings for breakfast, a computer, a supply of paper for the printer, plenty of laundry detergent, a drying rack, a large supply of coffee for the espresso machine. There was a large supply of music-- mostly classical (which we loved), lots of books though they were almost all in French. They made themselves easily available to answer any questions.

Rue Bachelet was very quiet at night though the carnival atmosphere of Montmartre was just a few, very steep, steps away. The metro and a bus line that goes directly to the Champs and the Eiffel tower were just steps away. Though the apartment has an elevator I wouldn't recommend the neighborhood for anyone who has trouble walking uphill or climbing stairs, though of the two closest Metro stops, Chateau Rouge has a escalator coming up and the Lamark stop has an elevator that goes up and down. Taxis were easy to find most of the time except for one day which may have been a holiday for the primary ethnic group in the area.

We didn't have a problem with it but anyone who is excessively concerned with modesty could have a problem with the master bath as the window is uncovered to the courtyard which is overlooked by several buildings. It's somewhat sheltered by plants but if someone really wanted to watch one shower they could. There are two showers so one could always use the other shower if they felt uncomfortable.

Minor problems: There weren't very many TV channels available and they were all in French but the only time I missed TV was when I wanted to relax with my feet up in between activities. We also had some problems with power conversion, my computer charged great but our electric toothbrushes and camera wouldn't charge and the toothbrush charger may have been permanently damaged. If the weather is warm the garden does required watering, we enjoyed it but some people might not. We will definitely stay there again.

All information and assistance was given in a most professional way and the reception in Paris was appreciated.
Christian was flexible in being available at my own schedule rather than his.
I have traveled extensively in my life and have dined in many restaurants which in fact has become very tedious.
The ability to have full days to wander around Montmartre and Place Pigalle (very close at hand) and then to be able to come "Home" and have a "Home Cooked Meal" is a refreshing change.
Each evening we would sit and have dinner outside on his full and well tended flowered patio.
The location of the apartment was also ideal with a grocery and a bakery store being a few meters away.
The apartment itself had a "lived-in look" and made us feel comfortable.
Christian has an extensive library of books that he allowed us to browse plus a Home Entertainment Center.
As I had rented a car for our stay the added bonus was the Parking Spot in the basement of the building.
This saved me a lot of hassle in trying to find a place to park at night which in Paris seems to be impossible.
In other words my stay in Paris was a welcome change from my usual routine of Hotels and Taxis.

All in all a very pleasant stay in Paris. - I would most certainly do it again.
