Date Submitted: September 06, 2008   Date of Stay: June 2008
What a nice choice that was offered, and so affordable.
I live in Newyork and if i had this place back home it would be worth 7 figures.

I adore the loft style and the modern,minimal style that was applied.

I had initial internet connection problems that were later resolved.

The area is upscale and trendy in a good way, fun and accessible eateries are local as well.

Thank you
Pierre

Regards,
Dave

I spent New Years 07/08 in this apartment and it was the BEST location I could have asked for!

The apartment's features (such as bathroom, kitchen) are on the small side if you're quite tall like myself but otherwise, completely enjoyable!

The owner & caretaker are both extremely friendly & approachable with questions.

Mr. V. spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me and several emails giving tips to make the trip a great time.

I would definitely recommend it and would even stay there again myself.

VERY fair price as well!

I am very pleased with my stay at 5 rue Androuet -
where a colleague + I stayed 2 weeks. As we both
carry a suitcase daily for work, it was great to be
one short flight upstairs. Also, we had ample space
to have separate quarters (him on pull-out sofa
bed, me in the VERY COMFY double bed in the
bedroom). Everything we needed in the kitchen and
W/C was to be found. Great to have a tub, too,
albeit a bit small if you are a taller person..Water
pressure in shower very good as well.
As for the surroundings, they couldn't be better.
There are so many great restos nearby - Cafe Burq
leaps to mind as very, very good (definitely get the
baked brie appetizer)- plus others on Rue des Trois
Freres, and of course shops: stinky cheese shop,
butcher, pharmacie, superlative boulangerie/salon
du the at the bottom of Passage des Abbesses:
"Coquelicot". YUM! Also great dress shops and
Nicolas (purveyor of wine), which is very
important...
Last but not least, the metro Abbesses is right
there! Easy as can be.

We had a great time at this apartment and would stay again without hesitation. The area of Paris is great and safe with lots of activity well into the evening. Within a block or two there are shops including our favorite bakery. Please do not hesistate to call me to confirm my positive recommendation.

This apartment provided everything we needed to spend a wonderful week in Paris, and then some. It was well-stocked, there was basic kitchen supplies already provided, maps and books and other useful items (like a major heavy-duty voltage converter) ready and waiting for us. Plus a stereo and a stack of great CDs, and free wireless for my laptop! The apt. has more space than might appear from the pictures, with lots of light. It was clean and neat (not immaculate) and well-secured, with a perfectly functional but teeny-tiny bathroom - it's a funky little apartment after all, not a 5-star hotel. But you wake up in the morning, open the shutters to look out on the art shops and the corner market (famous from the movie "Amelie"!) and local residents doing the same, it's exactly what I dreamed living in Paris would be like. We were VERY nervous about being in Paris for the first time (never visited France before, for that matter, and speak minimal French!) but the proprietor Peter and his relative Dominique answered all our questions, told us everything we needed to know, met us immediately upon our arrival, were exceptionally accommodating. I really can't say enough about how kind and helpful they were. And for that matter so was everyone we met, evenly the supposedly famously rude cafe waiters (they were efficient, not rude!) - trying to speak French when you can helps, but people were so gentle with us! The apartment has an ideal location on a side street that has very little traffic and noise (except for the locals enjoying a walk late at night after many bottles of incredibly good wine) but close to literally dozens of restaurants of every type and size and price range, including a fabulous patisserie and the Boulangerie a l'Ancienne where we quickly learned to queue up early to get our fresh bread and all manner of baked goods, quick meals and a huge bowl of excellent coffee. A lively neighborhood overlooking the whole city but where the tourists who climb the hill to see the Sacre Cour and Place du Tertre and maybe the Moulin de la Gallete all go back down the hill at night leaving this wonderful lively Parisian village all to ourselves. Peter arranged for us to be picked up by the Blue Van and delivered right to his apt. door, which was very helpful but for those familiar with the Metro (or any subway system) the apartment is quite easy to get to from CDG airport by taking the RER B to Gare du Nord train station, walk underground to La Chapell & take the blue 2 line to Place Pigalle (and get out there if you want to see the Moulin Rouge!) then switch to the green 12 line for one stop up to Abbesses - such a cool station, exits into a little park with carousel! You can't go wrong with this truly charming, affordable, wonderful spot in the City of Light - when people say there's no place like Paris, believe me they are right!

We spent 6 days in this lovely Paris apartment, about 3 blocks from the Place du Tertre, the old artist quarter of Montmartre. 2 blocks from the Abbesses Metro station. The location is perfect, near shops, restaurants, lots of local color. The apartment is not modern "Holiday Inn" but that's not why you are going to Paris, is it? We always stay in condo/apartments when we travel and were pleased with this one. It has all the description says it has and we think you will be very satisfied.

NOTE : My apt has been on the vacation rental market since quite a while, but this guestbook has been set up recently. Therefore I am adding some of the numerous feedbacks I got from my previous guests.

Feel free to ask me their email addresses and phone numbers. Quite a number of my guests were new to Paris and to the Butte Montmartre area, and they actually contacted my previous guests before making their own decision.

There is a tremendous diversity in Paris, and this is a place that people fall in love with, but because it is a personal experience and matter of taste, there is nothing
better than other people's feedback to make sure that you will enjoy your stay.

02/09/07 Positive We found this place enchanting. Decorated in good taste & beautiful colors, with the space very well used, and even works of art on the walls. Excellent quality bed, pleasant living room, exceptional location, fascinating district AND quiet street, and Amélie's grocery store is quite something! It gives a whole different angle on Paris.
Peter and various family members were incredibly helpful and pleasant. We'd endorse all the comments already on the site, and are already planning another visit this fall, because it was so memorable last time. Many thanks! and congratulations on what you've created here... It's SO friendly, and much nicer than being in an impersonal hotel.

My stay in Montmartre was wonderful. I was here for almost 3 months. Peter was very accomadating, and offered help whenever I needed it. The location was perfect, all my friends in Paris were jealous! The apartment itself if very comforatable, and everything that you might need is in it! I highly recommend renting from Peter, and plan on renting again next time i'm in Paris.

It truly was everything we had hoped for. Peter and Dominique were great to work with. The apartment was even better than we expected. The best part was the location. On the same street as the market in Amalie! Who could ask for more. Plus the easy walk to Sacre Coure and the Metro. We met the people that owned the gallaries across the street and they were fun and told us about places to go. It is a real neighborhood and we immediately felt right at home.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this apartment! The
location is perfect - an evening walk in the area offers
fantastic views of the city - and the apartment itself is
particularly good for children (lots of toys and a safe
bunk bed). Thanks for a pleasant weekend!

We enjoyed our stay in the apartment very much. Montmartre is a beautiful location with excellent metro connections and lots of character. The apartment was comfortable and fun, although sitting sideways on the toilet to make room for the washing machine was a surprise. It gave our kids an idea of what "real life" is like in Paris, and gave us a comfortable place to relax. Peter was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

What a great location! This property is so close to anything you might need, with bakery, butcher, fruiterer, grocer and many more at the end of the street!!! Monmarte is such a colourful and vibrant area with plenty to see and do. The apartment although a little small for 2 adults and 3 large teenagers was very well equipped. Peter you were very helpful and made making this reservation very easy, Thanks.

    Large apartment with plenty of room for two couples, or a palace for one couple. Great location in Montmartre, close to restaurants and the Metro. A small market steps away and a boulangerie around the corner. In the heart of it all. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place in Montmartre close to all the amenities.

    The art deco styling reminded me of Miami Florida inspired apartments which i love.

    It was completely furnished with everything you could need on vacation with all the amentities that were published in the ad.

    I opted for the removable air-conditioning since this is not standard in Paris and you need to make not of that.
    Since i was fore-warned i was very comfortable.

    Centrally located it is close to all attractions and public transportation.

    Will book again with Pierre..

    Remember to bring your portable dvd, players there are different formats to videos.

    Besides that all went as according to plan.

    We had a great time in this small apartment with a large living room.

    First, the quirks:
    The wireless internet didn't work, but the wired (CAT5 Ethernet cable) worked fine.
    The bathroom is split into 2 - a toilet room and a sink/shower room. A shower curtain was provided, but there was no rod to hang it up. The door to the shower room is glass - lots of light - little privacy. Romantic getaway?
    The kitchen is a hallway, but easy to use and well stocked. I loved the espresso machine.
    There is no AC - we used the fans in May, but it might be hotter during the summer.

    Overall, the apartment was clean, tidy, and well laid out. A few more doors for privacy would have been helpful.

    The neighborhood was wonderfully lively. There are several great bakeries within a few blocks. There was almost no street noise despite the likely street life. The Les Halles metro stop was within 10 minutes walk was convenient for accessing nearly all of Paris.

    This apartment was rented by a reseller, who provided adequate communication, but did not have specific details -- for example how to use the wireless internet (username/password).

    Note: The TV was nicely sized and had a cable setup with a DVD player (but not for region 1 - US DVDs).
