Apartment for 4 people, a 5-minute walk from the Champ de Mars

We had a wonderful stay. Elaine was very thorough in explaining how to us the appliances in the apartment and had her son there to translate for us. Elaine let us know that there was a market on Sunday under the Metro (above ground) just around the corner from us. It was so fun to visit. I only wish we had more time. Kim L.

The apartment was so wonderful and perfect for our family of 5. It was nice to have a kitchen and a washing machine. It felt spacious and was so much better than a hotel room. Elaine always responded quickly to my emails and her sister lives next door and was so helpful also. The metro was just a few minutes away and that was so helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Our Danish family of four rented this apartment for a week in late July 2015. This apartment is a bargain. It is spacious, clean and very well equipped. It is on the ground floor which makes it cooler on hot days. We were advised that the sister of the owner, Nicole, would be waiting for us in the apartment when we arrived and indeed she was. We had to unload the car in the middle of the road blocking traffic - free parking spaces are very, very hard to find. Only once I had to go around the block to let traffic pass. Then parked the car for the week in the Beagrenelle Magnetic mall parking garage 15m walk away (bought at parkingdeparis.com). Although the apartment has Wi-fi it measured to only 0.5Mbit - so do not expect HD streaming. It is however quite sufficient for finding your way to the attractions on the web. Note, that the supermarket Monoprix down the corner is upstairs! Shamefully, we did not realize this until the fourth day of our stay. The location is absolutely unbeatable! We walked to the Eiffel tower and back several times during the week. The station with the lengthy name La Mottte Picquet Grenelle is 2 minutes away and is the stop of no less than three metro lines taking you anywhere in Paris in no time at all. We used regular metro tickets (called T+) to get around - you have to travel a LOT on the metro to make the Paris Visite card worth your money. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, the washing machine and the kitchen equipment. And of course the help of Nicole - especially when the Wi-fi suddenly disappeared. Our kids need WWW access like others need water... The owner Eliane and her husband actually came to visit us at a camping site the week before arrival when both we and they were in Normandy - just to say hello. That is customer care! We missed only a balcony.

The photos does not do this apartment any justice. It is a really nice place in a quiet neighborhood. McDonald's is right around the block as is Monoprix. Nicole was a blast to deal with and she has a wonderful spirit. There are plenty restaurants and other eateries within walking distance. The subway is a 3 minute walk. The Eiffel Tower is a short distance. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need for home away from home. If we come to Paris again we hope that this place will be available. My one big advice for anyone traveling to Paris is to learn a few basic words in french.
