The Spicers, Providence, RI, August 2005

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Paris for vacation apartment in Passy. We were able to reserve online, using PayPal, and the apartment was exactly as described. It was clean and well-equipped with all the bedding, towels, and cooking equipment our family of four needed, as well as being beautifully furnished and decorated. The location is superb, right in the heart of Passy, with great shops and restaurants around the block and the Eiffel Tower and batobus (transportation by boat) just a 5 minute walk away. It's a great spot from which to explore all of Paris. Thanks again for a great vacation!

Khrista, Los Angeles, September 2005

I have visited Paris several times, and my stay at Rue Raynouard was one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences I have had. This is a far superior choice to a hotel or other vacation rentals that I have seen. The apartment is stunning and provides an authentic taste of Parisian life. It is beautifully and traditionally decorated, spacious, and comfortable.

 

The location of the apartment is also spectacular for those visiting Paris for the first time or for someone who has visited the city of lights on numerous occassions. Literally within 2 minutes of the apartment, there are numerous bakeries, cafes, restaurants, wonderfully fashionable stores (some of which, to my delight feautured favorite French designers I've discovered over the course of several visits to Paris), and two grocery stores. It is rare to find a location where one may enjoy the traditional, familiar pleasures of Paris and discover so many new ones all in one beautiful area! Located in the chic, tree-lined 16th arrondissment, it is close to the Eiffel Tower and landmark Trocadero. You will adore strolling down and shopping along nearby Rue Passy, seeing the Eiffel Tower as you begin your day, and being captivated by the spectacle of the Eiffel Tower alite when you return home.

 

The apartment also includes every convenience necessary to help make your visit abroad worry free - Internet access, free calls to the US, fax machine, cable TV and DVD player, and the metro are unique amenities that you will certainly appreciate once you are abroad.

The reservation and check-in process was efficient and welcoming. The owners included so many touches that show they care about their guests. I was always treated with courtesy, from my initial inquiry until my check-out. I would recommend staying here to anyone without any reservations, and I am looking forward to staying there again during my next trip to Paris.
