| This apartment was in a very
convenient location. It was walking distance to the Louvre,
Picasso Museum, George Pompidou Centre, to name a few. There
were unlimited cafes and restaurants in the imnmediate area as
well. The apartment was great. The neighbourhood was a bit noisy
though and hard to get a good night's sleep during our stay.
Nonetheless, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Isabelle
was a pleasure to deal with right from the beginning. We had no
problems or complaints whatsoever! We highly recommend!!! |

We stayed for a week at Dalida.I
have to say that it was a pleasure to deal with Isabelle.
She was always there for helping us on everything we needed.
What someone might fear is the renting and payment, she made it
very simple and transparent. What you see is what you get.
I would definetly contact her if she has an apartment where I´m
planning to go. |

We stayed a week in Isabelle's
Beaubourg apartment in the Marais district in early January. The
apartment was exactly as it appears on the website and was very
comfortable . The facilities in the apartment were good and made
our stay very pleasant.
We would certainly apply for Isabelle's apartments again - the
process was very easy and efficient.
I would recommend Isabelle's apartments to anybody wanting a
pleasant stay in Paris. |

| My husband, my 14 year old daughter
and I stayed for one week at the Lancelot apartment in the
Marais district early October 2007. Everything is as the photos
on the web site indicate and better because you can look out the
window and can't believe you are really here. The new velib
bikes are in the street below the apartment which are a source
on entertainment in themselves and a great idea for Paris. The
furnishings and comfort level were lovely and felt very
french.It felt like our home for that week.The cafes and shops
in the Marais were wonderful and the Pompidou is 2 blocks away (great
view) and art. Isabelles contact person, Arielle was so helpful
especially as she spoke English and our French was developing.As
soon as we left for Sydney after 6 weeks of travelling around
Europe we were ready to come back to Paris and stay here again.

was clean and had all the necessary features. It is located

| Just want all of you who are
apprehensive about booking an apartment online with Isabelle, to
not have a second thought about doing it! It is the easiest,
most secure, and reliable thing you will ever do to enjoy a
faboulous place to stay with absolutely no negatives! I have
never enjoyed a trip planning more than I have this one! It was
not only easy and secure, but the location ( I was in the
Esmerelda) was the most perfect one I could ask for. It was safe,
within walking distance of virtually everything, clean,
extremely comfortable with everything provided to stay there
that you would need. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, and I
thank Isabelle every day since for the way she made everything
so easy and so pleasant. Hope you all get a chance to experience
this true relaxation in planning and going on a vacation to
Paris! Thanks, Isabelle, you are terrific. Sally Kammerer,

| We stayed at Isabelle's Beaubourg
apartment for one week in early October. It was an ideal
location - very central. It is within walking distance to the
Louvre, D'Orsay, Notre Dame, Place des Vosges and Ile St. Louis.
We enjoyed many sidewalk cafes in the area and strolls along the
Seine. We felt very safe in the Marais neighbourhood where the
Beaubourg apartment is located. We are very grateful to Aurelie,
Isabelle's associate, who gave us suggestions for which wines to
try, and where to find a supermarket, patisserie, boulangerie,
and Sunday market. Paris is a beautiful city and the people are
very friendly... we had a wonderful time ...and hope to return
someday. |

Just home from Paris and a
wonderful stay at Isabelle's Moliere apartment in the Latin
Quarter. What a perfect way for a family to see Paris. Sabine
picked us up at the airport and was like being greeted by family,
she drove us to the apartment ( telling us what to see while we
were in Paris ) and we were met by Isabelle's associate Auralee.
What a well organized group they all were! The Apartment was
perfect and comfortable. Walking distance everywhere for our
family (kids 12 and 9) Safe and comfortable. After 3 weeks in
London, Venice, and Rome. Paris was our favorite and this
apartment was also our favorite. We will definetly be back to
beautiful Paris and the first person we call will be Isabelle
for an apartment.

| I have just spent a wonderful month
staying at Isabelle's Esmeralda apartment. The apartment is in a
fabulous location, surrounded by great cafes, boulangeries,
restaurants, parks, boutique shops and within walking distance
to many of the tourist sites. For tired legs, it is a short walk
between 2 metro stations. The apartment was a joy. All the
amenities advertised on Isabelle's website are provided and the
photos provide a perfect picture of the apartment. I really
appreciated the quick response of Isabelle's team to any
questions I had. The whole transaction with Isabelle, including
arrival using the BluVan shuttle, went without a hitch. I would
love to stay at Esmeralda again and highly recommend both the
apartment and location. |

My family (2 adults, 2 teenagers)
stayed at Isabelle's
Ile St. Louis apartment for 12 days in August. If you
are like me, you might feel a little hesitant about
renting an apartment via the Internet, but rest
assured that you will be in good hands with
Isabelle. She is absolutely professional, prompt,
courteous, and does exactly wha she says she will.
The apartment was fabulous. It is located on the
top floor with plenty of charm, exposed beams, and
slanted roof lines (might be a bit of a challenge for
very tall people). The location could not be better,
and the price was right. I enthusiastically
recommend Isabelle and will rent from her again on
our next trip. |

| We stayed 8 nights in Isabelle's
Beaubourg apartment in the Marais district for our honeymoon
(August 14th to 22nd). The apartment was exactly as advertised
and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The kitchen
allowed us to cook several of our own meals, or keep food
refrigerated to take with us on our daily walks and sightseeing.
The apartment was quiet and we felt totally safe - despite the
busy Pompidou Centre and square nearby (we couldn't hear any
noise). Getting the key and paying was also so incredibly easy
and convenient. The Marais district is so cool - full of good
energy and buzz, and provided so many (almost too many) options
for eating and shopping. We wouldn't hesitate to stay in one of
Isabelle's apartments again and recommend the Beaubourg
apartment to anyone who wants to stay in a cozy apartment in the
Marais. |

| Our apartment experience in Paris
was great. We stayed in the Picasso apartment, which comfortably
held my family of four. It was a "home away from home" for us.
The kitchen, washing machine, dining area, and nice beds and
bath were welcome commodities to come back to after a hard day
of sightseeing. The building was totally safe, quiet, and in a
great location. The Metro stations were close, an Internet cafe
was next door, and just around the corner (50 feet), were quaint
cafes, grocery stores, markets with fresh fruit, baked chickens,
great chinese food, shops, and even a park for the kids. I
highly recommend this experience to everyone and will definitely
go this route if I get a chance to return to Paris. |

| My wife and I stayed in the Moliere
apartment in the Latin Quarter last week. We had been impressed
by the pictures on Isabelle's website... and were even more
impressed by the apartment itself. It is lovely-- larger and
better than any hotel room. The bathroom is wonderful, at least
as nice as it looks in the pictures. It was quiet-- we never saw
or heard a neighbor the entire week. The location is great, just
steps from the Place de la Sorbonne, a charming square with an
outdoor cafe (Les Patios), and just a few blocks from the
Pantheon. The tiny street the apartment is on (Rue Champillion)
actually contains three small movie theaters, believe it or not
(most of the films in these three places are French language;
other theaters in Paris show more American films in "version
originale," i.e. in English with French subtitles-- pick up a
copy of Pariscope, published each Wednesday). Trust us, you have
not lived until you have seen a David Lynch film in a Paris
theater! It is an easy walk to the Cluny-La Sorbonne Metro
station-- and by all means, use the Metro. Isabelle's
communication before our stay was excellent-- she went to
business school in the US, so both her English and her customer
service ethic are great. That communication convinced us to rent
the apartment in the first place, and we are very glad we did.
We'd do so again without hesitation. |

We stayed at the Lancelot in Le
Marais for 10 days in July. Two adults and our 11 year old son.
This was our second trip to France and we wanted to "live" in
the city. This apartment was great for that reason. Close to two
metro stops (5 min) and 10 min from Chatelet/Les Halles for even
more access. Rue Rambuteau, just a block away, had everything
that we needed for food, ie. grocers, boulangerie, etc.
Isabelle was wonderful to work with. We arranged the apartment
months ago and she gave clear direction as to where to find it
and how to access. She came to meet us with the apartment
manager at the time arranged to accept payment and go over the
details. She honoured the contract to the letter. She was
available throughout the week, by email and phone as we needed (juat
a couple of time). There was construction in the apartment above,
which was not a problem as we were not there during the day
anyway. Isabelle did arrange an extra cleaning for us due to a
little dust. All in all it was a great experience working with
her and living as close to a Parisian as we could. Do not have
any reservation dealing with Isabelle or her colleagues, it was
a great experience. |

Wonderful! There is only one word
to sum up our most recent trip to Paris. We satyed in "the
Moliere" apartment and we loved it. The location is great!
Working with Isabelle is the way to go.
This was my third trip to Paris, and each time it just gets
better. We met Sabine through Isabelle's website, what a gold
mine of information! Sabine took us through the beautiful
country side & to the Chateau Breteuil (we even met the Marquis
and took pictures with him). Chevreuse is the place I want to
live! Sabine took us to her favorite Bakery and then it was back
to her house to enjoy pastry in her beautiful backyard and
metting Francois her husband what a treat. My Husband and I
spent our 25th and now our 26th Wedding Anniversary in Paris,
and if I have my way we will return to Europe each year.
Isabelle is the first person I will contact! Renting one of her
apartments is the only way to go and I can't wait to do it
again! Tania, Abdel, Sabine, and Isabelle can make your trip and
stay wonderful, easy, and leave you with the disere to return.
Thanks to all of you!Sincerely, Steve & Sandy Hartin, Terry &

We have stayed for 7 nights at
Isabelle's Beabourg apartment in May 2007. The price was a steal
(even with high Euro rate against the dollar). The location is
superb. Isabelle dropped off the keys to the place, wished us a
happy stay and we had a week to ourselves, and all the privacy
we needed to feel like we live in Paris. Isabelle, only a call
away, lived just a block up the street, but had never intruded,
and we are very grateful for trusting us with this wonderful
apartment.
The apartment is spacious, with high ceilings and huge windows.
The sun hits the windows around 9:00 in the morning, so if you
have partied all night, be sure to close the curtains :) .
The apartment is in a lively neighborhood, but on a tiny quiet
street, facing a little courtyard. You will never be bothered by
any noise, except for, and you will just have to believe me,
birds! You will feel like sleeping in the garden, as the birds
start singing in the morning and sing all day.
The apartment has all the amenities for a long stay – a washing
machine and a drying rack, an equipped kitchen and plenty of
storage. We have used the fridge to store the wine and goodies
we bought during the day. We didn’t cook, but enjoyed the
fabulous Marais restaurants, just a few minutes away.
Renting from Isabelle is a way to go, and we are already looking
forward to our next vacation!

loved coming back to "our" apartment for an English language

rent the apartment and perfect to have a kitchen and washing
machine (weather was unexpectedly warm and had to wash t-shirts
to wear again). Isabelle was very helpful and setting up the

There are not enough words to
describe the utmost quality of the apartment I rented from
Isabelle and I feel she is too humble in describing the
apartments she owns. I stayed in the Marais in an apartment with
the most gorgeous view over the Hotel of the Archives and I felt
I was back at the time of the Three Musketeers.
Isabelle is a very honest, very warm and extremely pleasant
young woman whose main goal is to make her clients very happy
and comfortable. She wants you to feel at home away from home
and I can only rave about the quality of the apartment I rented
from her.
Not only did I start a "business" relationship with Isabelle, I
feel that I made a new friend. My comment is more than POSITIVE
it is super excellent and I am so thrilled by haaving found her
that I already have made reservations with Isabelle for my next

Situated in the Marais it was the best location to see
all of Paris. We had morning coffee in "our" flat
while listening to Parisian radio. We also cooked 2
delicious dinners with local produce. We were no
longer tourists, we felt more like residents of the
area. I highly recommend Isabelle's organization.

We stayed for 3 nights in the
Beaubourg flat and enjoyed everything! Making the arrangements
"long distance" (over the Internet) was easy and everything went
exactly as planned - except for one little thing. Our daughter,
who is studying in Besancon (in the Jura region) was to meet us
in Paris. She was so excited she showed up a day ahead of time!
Isabelle was wonderful and arranged for her to stay in the
Princess flat for the extra night.
The flat was fun, clean, and in a great location. There were
plenty of up-to-date tour books (in English!) there so we were
able to make the most of our 3 short days. And we cooked 2
simple but wonderful dinners while we were there. The whole
experience was fantastique! We can't thank you enough. Hopefully
we'll be able to do it again sometime!

Very quiet and convenient area - a
short walk out the house brings you to
the 38 bus which takes you to Gare du
Nord - the hub of continental train
travel. The flat is comfortable, clean
with a nice touch for decoration and
feel. Well located in an historic
street - named after the man who
deciphered the hieroglyphs. Close to
many sites - both historical and
contemportary. You can walk to and
from the Louvre, the Piccasso museum,
the Pompidou Centre, and still be at
the centre of the hub - restaurants,
groceries, clothes shops, etc. |

My husband and I stayed at the
"Baudelaire"
apartment in the Marais for 12 nights. We were
celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and New
Year 2007. (We lived in Paris 15 years ago for
seven months in another neighborhood.) The
apartment is absolutely charming--very bright and
with the most spectacular view! The photos on the
website are for real. And the famed Paris light does
an ongoing light show on that beautiful mansion.
We loved the neighborhood. The immediate area is
upscale and casual. The Marais is a great place to
explore itself, and it's close to other great
neighborhoods--a short walk to the Seine and the
left bank. The metro is nearby and very easy to
use. The apartment has two good sized bedrooms
with charming decore and comfy beds. We used
the second bedroom as a dressing room, but it
would be a great apartment for two couples or a
couple with a child. The toilet is in a seperate room
from the bathroom which is a plus if you have
several people staying there. There is no elevator,
but we didn't find it a problem. Also, there is no
oven, but the kitchen worked out fine. It has a four
burner range, a microwave, a dishwasher and
washing machine, and that view! The apartment is
at the corner of rue des Archives and rue
Rambuteau. Rue Rambuteau has great specialty
food shops--cheese, seafood, bread and pastry,
Italian, Chinese, and a good super market, too.
And flowers. Oh, I want to go back! Also, I can't
say enough about Isabelle. She is so kind and
lovely and professional. She was always easy to get
hold of and her recommendations online and in
person were excellent. We would rent this
apartment again without hesitation or might try
another apartment through Isabelle just to have
another experience. Happy traveling to you. |

Europe and this one was especially lovely. Significantly above
average in size by any standard, well appointed with all
amenities for travelers as well as those who like the 'at home'
conveniences, immaculately clean with an excellent bed, linens
and towels. Located just steps away from the Sorbonne and Metro
station. Isabelle was a delight to work with, she responded to
all of our inquiries promptly and made the check-in and out
incredibly easy. We will definitely be utilizing her services
again for any of our travel accommodations in Italy or France. |

this fall. The apartment was well equip with eveything you would
need. The location was great. The Pompidou was right at your
doorstep. Restaurants, Metro, Bus, Bakeries, and food market are
within walking distance of the apartment. The apartment was
clean and comfortable. The Notre Dame and Hotel de Ville are
close by. We enjoyed the sights and the city. Isabelle was very
pleasant and helpful. Prior to my departure I e-mailed her a
dozen times about this and that. She responded within 24 hours.
Thanks for all your help. I had a wonderful time. Highly
recommended. |

| We stayed in the Marie Antoinette
apartment near the Eiffel Tower for a week at the end of
September. We found the apartment to be very comfortable and was
exactly as advertised. It was so easy to get anywhere, and so
nice to come home to, after a long day of walking and seeing the
sights. I loved the location- it was a 2 minute walk from the
metro and the RER. We didn't actually "cook", but we really
enjoyed not having to eat all our meals in restaurants. We
picked up some delicious cheeses, breads and meats at nearby
stores for snacks, and ate all our brakfasts there, before
setting off for the day. We never tired of watching the Eiffel
Tower and the bateaux mouche glittering along the river at
night. We felt very secure here- a keycode to get in, and very
good locks on the door. Isabelle was a treat to deal with, and I
wouldn't hesitate to rent from her again. |

| My husband, 2 year old son and I
stayed in the apartment near the Eiffel Tower and loved it. I
would highly recommend this for anyone including a family as
there are many parks nearby, including a large playground. The
metro is one block and a great line as most places we wanted to
go were only one train exchange or less. Also, Sunday and Wed.
mornings there is a large open market on Grenelle(3 blocks away)
with everything from food to pashminas and shoes. We didn't meet
Isabelle(as we were rarely in during the day) but her mother
lives in the building and was very helpful including ordering us
a taxi when we were leaving. It was a fantastic apartment with a
great view and everything went exactly as planned! Thanks
Isabelle - we'd love to visit again! |

I spent 11 days in Isabelle's Piaf
apt in the Marais district and was really pleased. The apt is
just as shown on the internet, cozy and compact, with a nicely
furnished kitchen and bath. I was traveling solo but my daughter
came from London and spent the weekend and used the bed in the
loft so we had plenty of space. Isabelle had communicated with
me via email prior to my arrival and everything went smoothly.
The stairs were a bit of a challenge for a 70-yr old, but after
a few days I didnt have a problem; I think I even lost a couple
pounds. I would definitely stay with Isabelle again. |

were happy and cool thanks to Isabelle! We just adored the

great location to everything from Franprix market to the Metro.
The apartment is well equipt with just about everything you
need. The elevator was a blessing since Paris is the ultimate
stairmaster!
Thanks for taking such great care of us Isabelle! :-) |

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in
Paris at the Lancelot apartment. We felt part of the city, as we
shopped at the local markets and bakeries of the neighborhood.
The location of the Lancelot is idea to explore the most
interesting neighborhood of many museums among the locals. We
toured the city by metro from the Rue de Archives metro station.
We relished returning to the Lancelot after a long day of
sightseeing. It offered comfort and privacy.
Before we committed to the Lancelot, by reviewing this website
and Isabelle's friendly professionalism, I knew she was a sure
bet and she was.

Pampadour Apartment, Eiffel Towner
and Seine River, June, 2006. Paris is still my favorite City in
the World thanks to my visit in Isabelle’s apartment. This
attractive apartment was far more relaxing than a hotel room and
easily accessible to all areas of the City by walking, car,
train or subway. It was delight to have our laundry promptly
attended and the assistance by Madame Florac.
Any one concerned about booking Isabelle’s apartments by
Internet can contact me by E-mail or phone. You will find
Isabella not only attractive but a very organized businesswoman.
The apartment was full of interesting books and CD’s. Franco
particularly enjoyed hearing again the Mina CD’s having work
with her on TV shows in Italy many years ago. Nights in Paris
with a view of the river and Eiffel Tower were spectacular. This
visit in Paris was a highlight of my three months travel in
Europe by car.

What a marvelous time we had in
Paris! I was a bit leery of reserving apartments over the
internet, but we could not be more pleased with Isabelle's
Eiffel Tower apartments. Both of us couples were celebrating
wedding anniversaries, and it was so nice to have a comfortable,
private, and relaxing "home away from home." The apartments were
lovely and had everything we needed. They were conveniently
located, and it was so easy to travel the metro to get to ALL
the sights we wanted to visit. We spent our first night in a
Paris hotel (3-star) and then came to our apartments. What a
difference in accommodations! It was so nice to have more than
just "a room"...a place to fix our picnics or have company
over... It was so relaxing to just sip wine and enjoy the view
of the Seine. What a great way to visit! We will definitely be
renting an apartment again with Isabella!

We stayed in the Beaubourg Studio
Apartment for a week in May and June 06 on our first trip to
France. We loved the location, with great bakeries, some good
value eating places and food shops just "round the corner". Also
very accessible to everything either by foot or using the Metro.
On quiet laneway -no traffic noise but very close to Pompidou
Centre and its main square with buskers etc! Very secure.
Isabelle was very helpful and welcomed us personally on the
first day to make sure every thing was ok and to offer advice on
things to do if we needed it. Apartment was very comfortable
with plenty of room for the two of us, washing machine and good
sized kitchen and bathroom (shower and bath). Main bed was low
(as shown in photo on web-site) which was fine for us but may
not suit all.
We were hesitant of booking over the internet as it not part of
a recognised accommodation group, but every thing went smoothly
and we will be recommending Isabelle's apartments to our
friends.

Three of us from the US stayed in
the Lancelot apartment in the first week of June 2006. We
absolutely fell in love with the apartment, and with Isabelle!
The apartment is darling, very 'french', and very comfortable.
Everything was in perfect order, and had everything we needed to
cook, wash clothes, and in general make it our home away from
home...very clean, nice smelling towels, soaps provided. Full of
extra touches. Isabelle herself is a delight and very honest and
personable, and so easy to do business with. I give her an A+++.
Email me with questions. We are real people, and I would be
happy to send pictures too. Oh, and the neighborhood is
fantastic, with a coffee cafe downstairs, (the best cafe
lattes!) a quaint bar across the street, and it is literally a
15 minute walk to most everything, including the amazing Notre
Dame, the Seine, Picasso museum and more. It is a very upscale 'safe'
neighborhood too. The Marais area is wonderful, quaint,
everything you'd expect Paris to be. You'll love it!

When we entered the Lancelot
apartment in Marais, Paris, our children just stared for a
while. Then it was a big "wow". This is a wonderfully wonderful
place, wrote our 11 years old daughter to his travel diary. To
be short, the place was much more personal than we expected and
a family of five could easily sleep there (after we found one of
the beds, it was cleverly hidden. Go and find out). The location
is very good, near the Pompidou center and Notre Dame.
Everything went as Isabelle promised, it is easy to recommend
this. Many thanks!

My sister, Christy, and I stayed in
the Esmeralda apartment in the Marais in mid-April.
It was cozy and secure, and we had everything we needed.
Although there was lots of activity on the streets, the
apartment was quiet. The location on the French 3rd floor was a
challenge, especially on arrival when we had to get our luggage
up to the apartment. It was easier going down, I invoked the
privilege of age and Christy carried it! The location was
fantastic—within walking distance of many interesting sights and
very close to public transportation.
I had been searching the internet for some time trying to find
just the right location for us, but the prospect of submitting
my credit card over the internet to a private person left me
apprehensive, I admit. Isabelle proved to be a helpful and
honest business person, and after our departure she was quick to
let me know that the apartment had been checked and my credit
card information taken out of her files.
We had a wonderful and funny time in Paris and hope to do it
again! Isabelle, leave the "Welcome" sign out for us!

Dear Isabelle & Christine Mar.
10,2006
We returned recently from the most wonderful 10 day trip to
Paris! We atayed in the Marie Antoinette Apt that is just a
short walk to the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars Park!!! This is
a fabulous home base from which to explore all Paris has to
offer. We were a short 2 block walk to the Metro stop and found
it so fast and easy to see all the sights. We even took a day
trip to Versailles and the RER "Vick" got us there in 30 mins.
This lovely Apt overlooks the Seine river and the tour boats
parade by at night all lit up, it was just a short walk down to
the river to catch one of these "batamouches" in the evening for
a memorable cruise. Paris truly is the city of light, especially
at night! Very romantic! All the wonderful museums Lourve,
Orsay,Marmottan are something everyone should see in their
lifetime! The people we met were very friendly and could speak
better English than we could speak French. A special thank-you
to Isabelle who knew we would be celebrating a special occasion
(Doug's 50th birthday) and had fresh flowers and a bottle of
champagne waiting for us on arrival! Her mother Christine came
to visit us to answer any questions and sent her handyman to
come the following day to fix a small problem we had with our
bathroom sink. This was done very promptly with no hassle
whatsoever. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to
recommend this Apt to anyone!

Our trip to Paris was terrific,
thanks in large part to Isabelle, and her amazing 1bdrm duplex
apartment on Rue Princess. Very comfortable, well furnished,
clean and safe.
The location was incredibe...3 subway stations within 5 min,
many top restaurants and cafes, numerous walkable tourist sites,
a supermarket, and high end shopping.
We too were concerned about renting an apt sight unseen and over
the internet. Do yourself a favor though, rent one of Isabelle's
apts and then your only concern will be do you have enough time
in Paris to see all the sites !!
Her courtesty, professionalism, product and value should not be
overlooked. We'll be back !!
P.S. Bluvan is the way to go for your ground transportation to/from
airport.

We had a wonderful week in Paris
and enjoyed staying in the Marie-Antoinette apartment very much.
It was a wonderful "home base" to come home to every evening.
Most evenings, we just relaxed with a light supper (after having
a good lunch), planned our activities for the next day, and
watched the boats go by all lighted up on the river. Plus, two
evenings, Mike was treated to football (soccer) games with the
French national team on the TV.
It's a very romantic apartment... |

My husband and I just returned {Nov/05}
after spending 8 days in the Maris apartment.We have been to
Paris on other occasions but this was the first time we explored
this wonderful area.We really felt that we were experiencing
every day life.The apartment was ideal for the two of
us.Isabelle was very professional and followed up on every
suggestion and was there for us when we needed her. The first
trip up the 70 steps, carrying our suitcases was a challenge but
after the initial trek we were fine.We shopped for the basics at
the small supermarket and had a very special brunch at parisian
tea salon Mariage Freres.We also had a less expensive tea on
another occasion.We would recommend Sainte Chappelle with its
beautiful stained windows--built in 1248. We went back in the
evening for a classical concert.
The apartment is well located-
Blue van was great-good price and service. Carol Howitt

| We enjoyed our stay in the
D'Artagnan apartment, in the Marais. The apartment is 'chic' and
well kept, having all the necessary equipment (except for a
washing machine, but we were notified about this by Isabelle).
Isabelle is very helpful and trustworthy. We had no problems
while staying there, it was a wonderful location. We even got
used to climbing the stairs! A little suggestion for Isabelle: a
mop would have been very useful to help us keep the bathroom
clean. Other than that, full satisfaction. |

| Isabelle's Eiffel apartment is a
very romantic place to stay-- it was central to a special event,
as I proposed to my girlfriend nearby. Isabelle had told us when
we arrived that the Eiffel "twinkles" at night, and on Aug 14 at
11:01 PM (when it started twinkling) we were on the top level,
taking in the wonderful night views, and I went down on one knee
and proposed. Needless to say Nancy was surprised, excited and
elated! We made our way back to the beautiful apartment where we
celebrated with champagne... So who knows? Maybe we'll come back
for a honeymoon, or at least an anniversary-- I can't imagine a
more romantic place in Paris. We felt like Parisiennes, living
the high life. |

| We very much enjoyed our stay in
the historic Marais apartment. It worked out beautifully for us
and our two small children. Isabelle was very helpful and the
accomodations were so much nicer than a hotel. Centrally located,
we could walk to the Latin Quarter, Pompidou, Place des Vosges,
Notre Dame, as well as wonderful shops and restaurants. Also,
there was a lovely park nearby that our children enjoyed every
evening. Highly recommended! |

| I fell in love with Isabelle's apt
in the Eiffel district as soon as I saw it on the Internet. I
knew exactly that was where I wanted to stay. It was within
walking distance of most things & if not, you were only 2 short
blocks away from the Metro. The apt. was very spacious & clean.
Isabelle was very flexible in my arrival & dept times unlike
most hotels. Also, She is very helpful in giving directions and
advice. I really enjoyed myself & am looking forward to
returning to Paris & renting from Isabelle again. |

I spent 2 weeks in the Marais, 1
bedroom appartment in July. As someone has preferred appartments
to hotels for many years, I found this one exceptionally well
equipped and furnished (I was especially pleased to find a
proper hairdryer and iron - a girl wants to look her best in
Paris!). The location was fabulous. Within easy walking distance
of many of the major sites incl Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter,
the Louvre, etc, etc. It was an absolute delight to stroll back
along the river every evening and the nights when I didn't fancy
walking, the selection of cafes and restaurants in the Marais
itself is superb. Isabelle was very helpful and welcoming and
very flexible around arrival and departure times, unlike most
hotels.
The appartment is a real home from home and I'm sure was a major
factor in making the holiday so special. I really cannot
recommend it highly enough and am already looking forward to
returning at some point. |

Isabelle - We had an absolutely
fabulous time in Paris. We felt quite at home in your apartment
. . . it was the perfect size for a family with two adult-aged
children and we loved being in the Marais area of Paris. We
valued being in a historic area and loved the feeling of living
in such an old building. We came to love the neighborhood and of
course we had our own favorite shopkeepers and boulangeries! We
even enjoyed the stairs - - - it made us feel as if we were
earning our delicious French desserts! I am so glad that I found
your information on the web and that everything worked out. We
treated the apartment as if it was our own and tried to leave it
all in perfect condition. Thank you again, Isabelle. Sincerely,
Leslye

We arrived back in Canada safe and
sound, our trip to France was very enjoyable. There are so many
highlights, I can't pick out one thing that was the absolute
best. One thing Joey and I agreed on was our trip to Arromanche
and the Normandy landing beaches was very very nice. We enjoyed
Sabine's tour, and she was able to show us so much more than we
would have seen on our own or on a big bus tour. Thanks again
for allowing us to stay at your apartment.

are fully justified.
The apratment is a real home, well appointed.
Isabelle was very responsive to minor inconvenience, provided
fans during the heat wave, and excellent tips on Parisian
living.
I am totally spoiled to apartment rental vs. hotel,and will look
to Isabelle's offerings the next time I want to fly away. |

Hello-
We stayed in the Marias apt during the "04 Christmas hollidays.
It was magical, with the Christmas lights and happy shoppers
everywhere. We were a couple of blocks from Hotel Daville and
Notre' Dam. The Latin Quarter is fun and friendly -& there is a
little grocery store across the street...although we usually ate
out. The apartment is bright & cherry and has a wonderfully
comfortable king size bed. I highly recommend it. Isabella is
great to work with and we definately recommend her. |

every minute; the apartments were very comfortable,and the view
is exceptional. The location is perfect for seeing all the

We loved the view of the river, during the day or at night, it
was delightful. And Isabelle is a darling, and so was the
concierge!! Best place to stay in Paris! |

Bob & I rented the apartment in
Cannes and 2 apts in Paris, the Effil Tower and the Lourve. They
were both great but we liked the convenience of the Lourve, with
walking distance of all sights. The Effil Tower apt is
accessible by train to all sights except the Effil Tower itself.
We bought resident passes for the trains using our passport
picture which were good for a week, I think. Ask Isabelle,
she'll know. I think we did about all of Paris, ate wonderful
meals, the Latin Quarter is inexpensive and the street food was
great. We stayed in Paris and also the Cannes apt. We rented a
car for Cannes and traveled most of the southern coast in France
doing day trips. We also took a train to Normandy and did a day
tour with Battlebus, which was great and stayed in a great bed
and breakfast.
Isabelle is very honest and fair and although we were
apprehensive doing business on the internet, it was great.
