One Bedroom Apartment in le marais
AC, Internet, elevator, 2-5 people, "family friendly"
le Marche des Enfants
Rouges
in the close neighborhood
Welcome to the Montmorency apartment!
This apartment is
located in the historic part of Paris named Le Marais, on a calm little street
named rue de Montmorency.
It is located right in front of the very oldest building of
Paris, where Nicolas Flamel used to live (early 15th-century)
As the district which was built to house the nobility of the
kings of France, the architecture of the hotels particuliers
and mansions just around is breathtaking.
Just everything is at your door
:
- Museums: the Pompidou center of course
(which is the "temple of modern art"), the Louvre less that 10 minutes away, the Picasso Museum,
le Musee Carnavalet,
l'Hotel de
Sully...
- Monuments: Notre Dame, Hotel de Ville, la Sainte Chapelle,
Bastille, Opera... The Eiffel Tower (which is not in the very center of
Paris) is about 20 mn away by metro. The Champs Elysees avenue is less
than 10 minutes away by metro.
- Districts: you are in the heart of Paris, in the historic, lively and
safe Marais district. The Islands Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint Louis are just near by. The Latin Quarter is on the other side of la Seine
(few minutes away) etc.
- Dozens of restaurants and bars, disco, art galleries, boutiques,
department stores...
- Metro station and supermarkets, bakeries, groceries ...
This apartment is perfect for a couple, or for a family of 4 to 5 people.
Metro stops: Rambuteau, Arts et
Metiers, or Etienne Marcel

Clean and
comfortable. Elevator very small. Fast and accurate response from Marie.
Very much recommended.
Aug 2015
Marie was very
responsive and replied to our inquiries within minutes. The information
provided in the description was accurate. The flat is clean and well
maintained, with all essentials provided (linens, dishes, etc). The
location was also excellent, set in a historic and itself interesting
area with easy access to different parts of Paris. The instructions
inside the house were also easily found, clear and helpful (e.g.,
information on private drivers, etc, in Paris). It allowed us to focus
on enjoying our trip and less on worrying about apartment procedures and
logistics.

Our family of
four had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was clean, had plenty of
space for four, and was beautifully furnished. Marie left great
instructions for all appliances. The location was excellent too- within
a short walk of groceries and metro stations. We would definitely come
back if we're lucky enough to return to Paris!

El apartamento
es muy comodo, sin estar a la par de las atracciones mas turísticas,
está en una zona muy conveniente, con supermercados y varias opciones de
transporte ademas de todo tipo de lugares para comer. Fue una lastima no
conocer a nuestra Host, sin embargo todas las indicaciones dadas fueron
precisas y nos permitieron una muy buena experiencia durante nuestra
estancia.

We spent a short
family vacation at Marie's apartment, just across from Le Marais. It was
quite splendid: the apartment was easy to find thanks to the accurate
instructions, well located with the Rambuteau Metro station just 2
minutes away, lots of buses to get anywhere. The descriptions are
accurate, the small kitchen served us well. It was just spacious enough
to hold the five of us.

Lovely apartment
in a very central location! Thank you Marie!
Aug 2014
Highly recommend
this clean, lovely apartment. The street is calm and quiet but it's very
near the metro, a supermarket, and interesting restaurants and shops in
the Marais. Comfortable for four people. The small elevator (good for 3
people) is a huge help if you need to transport suitcases but otherwise
you'll probably want to take the stairs. Marie was very helpful and
communicative before and during the trip. She answered questions right
away through email. Really appreciated the clear instructions (email and
guidebook) and that we were allowed to store luggage after the
designated checkout time.

It is very
important where you live in Paris. You do not want to spend your
valuable time in trains and buses. Walking is A MUST in Paris as every
single street and/or building has something you would want to see. This
Montmorency apartment is in PERFECT location - walking distance to
everything you need to do and see. The apartment itself is very clean
and has everything you might need. We were a family of 4 and had enough
room for everyone. The bathroom is great, which is not very common for
an older building in Europe. :-)
Marie and Mica are great hosts. Anything you might need they will
provide. The thing is that there is nothing in the apartment that you
don't have an explanation or instructions for. It was just perfect!
Thank you Marie and Mica!

This is a very
functional apt for Paris with an elevator. It was clean, comfortable and
whimsically decorated. Marie has labels and instructions in English on
how to work everything. This is very helpful for Americans who may not
be familiar with European apts. The shower and hot water here are the
best that I have had in all 5 cities during this trip and my last.There
are many little touches that make the apt. more comfortable like shower
gel and paper towels. The windows over look the courtyard so it is not a
grand view , but pleasant. There are many grocery stores and even a
natural foods store in the immediate vicinity. We made our meals here
easily. You can walk to Notre Dame and the latin quarter and are close
to two metro stations. Marie was very thorough and clear in her
communication and helped us out with directions and when our flight was
delayed.

The Marie’s
apartament where we stayed with my sister , my nephew , my daughter .
Marie explained everything very well before arriving in Paris. We felt
great after placement . The beds were very comfortable, which is very
important after a long walk in Paris. The apartment was very quiet ,
clean and it had everything necessary for the first few days.
On our street there was a very nice , small bakery .
I want to thank Marie for the proposal, which she did for our luggage,
because our late returning filght.
With great pleasure I again stayed in the apartment on our next visit to
Paris. I hope this will be soon.

We loved this

have the chance to stay here again. The location is perfect and
everything was so well organised for our comfort. Thank you!

I had really
great time in your apartment. Almost famous sights are near the apt. So
we walked paris which is the most romantic city. Metro station,
supermarkets are also near the apt. the one sofa bed is little inclined.
It is suitable for four person. if you live this apt with four friends
or family, you make a great choice.

I cannot say enough wonderful things
about this apartment. Marie and Mica were the most generous hosts
and made sure that we had everything we needed. The apartment is
adorable and very comfortable. And the cheese and bread shops on the
street make the location ideal! I would recommend this apartment to
anyone going to Paris looking for a relaxing and authentic
experience.

We spent a wonderful time in the
Montmorency apartment. Although we love our
regular home in the U.S., we are still "homesick" for Paris and our
comfortable, convenient Montmorency flat. It was the third time we had
rented from Isabelle and Marie, and we have been very happy, satisfied customers
each time. Isabelle is trustworthy. She delivers what she promises. We
look forward to renting from her again the next time we visit Paris.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in
the Montmorency apartment and loved it. Isabelle was great to deal
with - no problem booking the apartment over the internet, all
communication was answered in a timely manner and very clear. The
apartment has all the 'little things' that are sometimes missing in
apartments (clothes hangers!, coffee, tea, sugar, salt and pepper,
washing liquid, etc). Great area. Absolutely no hesitation in
recommending this apartment or dealing with Isabelle!!

My wife and I stayed in the Montmorency
apartment
with our two children. Everything in the apartment worked and there
were directions to use items that might by unfamiliar
to foreigners. The internet connection provided was
great and was fast enough for video chat over Skype,
There were plenty of blankets, sheets, pillows, and
towels. The kitchen had pots, pans, dishes and
glasses, and was ready for use.
The apartment is on the third floor with a small
elevator for luggage. The door to the apartment has
a very secure lock and we felt very safe. There are
other reviews on this page that talk about the
neighborhood and they are all accurate. I suggest
using Google maps and street view to explore the
neighborhood before you visit.
I reserved the apartment by paying a deposit using
Paypal. After arriving at the apartment, Isabelle's
mother picked up the balance at the apartment. My
security deposit was promptly returned using Paypal
after I returned home.
I look forward to returning to Paris and staying in
another apartment rented by Isabelle.

Having rented Isabelle’s St. Honore apt
last year, my brother and I brought my 80 year old Dad to Paris for
his birthday and stayed at Isabelle’s Montmorency apt. It worked out
great for us. The apt had everything we needed – short walk to the
metro, 3 bakeries within 1 minute walk, a building elevator,
comfortable beds, free international phone calls and much more. We
were delighted with everything and would feel very comfortable
staying at any of Isabelle’s apts in the future. Highly recommended.

I rented this apartment for a reunion
with friends in Paris and liked it very much. It was quiet and very
convenient and very well equipped and pretty. Isabelle was very
professional and very helpful. I run vacation rentals in the US so
it was nice to be on the other side for a change and I was very
pleased that the apartment was as nice as it seemed on the website.
I will definately rent from Isabelle again! Merci Isabelle. C'tait
superbe! Great!

Nous avons passé un séjour Parisien
particulièrement agréable dans l'appartement Montmorency, en
décembre 2010. L'appartement
est sympathique, central, bien chauffé (et oui, il neigeait sur
Paris!), propre et calme. Isabelle est très disponible pour tout
renseignement ou problème à régler. Une expérience à renouveler sans
hésiter!

We rented the Montmorency apartment in
November. It was wonderful and convenient to the Metro. It was a
great base for visiting Paris
and the area. There were two boulangeries within a few steps of the
apartment and a nearby supermarket. We highly recommend this
apartment and Isabelle's apartments in general (this is the second
time we've rented from her).

We just returned from a four day stay
in the Montmorency apartment. We had 2 adults and three teenage
daughters. While it was a little tight for that many, we knew this
before going. The apartment was really great and a good value for
staying in Paris. The little kitchen does not have an oven, but has
a cooktop with supplies, as well as a washing machine for laundry.
We were comfortable and the location is terrific! Isabelle was great
to work with, accomodated us, returned the deposit immediately. I
would use her again if we visited
Paris.

we just returned from a stay at
Isabelle's apt rue de montmorency and we were very happy with our
apartment, the pictures on the website matched the apt, it was clean
and comfortable, and Isabelle's group was very good to work with for
check in and questions we had. They were also very prompt in
returning our security deposit upon our checkout. I won't hesitate
to book through Isabelle's group for our next visit to paris.

We have just returned from the
Montmorency apartment. I highly recommend it if you want a beautiful
place on a very quiet street, with very nice neighbours. Also we
loved the Boulangerie down the street and the oodles of cafes around
the neighbourhood. Our favourite thing closeby was the Museum of
Modern Art - a hidden treasure! My only critique would be upon
arriving late at night to our apartment we did find the street quite
dark as well as the entranceway - until you could manually turn the
lights on - so takes a little getting used to.
Otherwise the apartment itself is so charming, beautifully decorated
and functional. We loved our living room and kitchen. The wifi
connection was great not to mention the free long distance phone
calls - what a nice feature. We truly loved our stay here - and
would do it all over again. Highly recommend this place!!!!

We stayed in Isabelle's Montmorency
apartment in April 2010. We booked and paid over the internet and
Isabelle was great to deal with. The apartment was easy to find -
Isabelle's instructions were great and she came to see us the next
morning, and was so helpful. The location was fantastic - 2 blocks
from the Pompidiou Cenre, 10 mins walk from Notre Dame. We wanted to
be near the Marais, and we were, but just far enough away to be
quiet at night. I also loved the Boulangerie just a few doors down!
The apartment was clean and cosy - those old buildings are so well
insulated, and we actually needed to open the window at night
because it was so warm inside, without using the heater. The wifi
worked well (Isabelle also provided a cable just in case) which was
important for our 17 yo daughter. I loved the Boulangerie just a few
doors down! I understand Isabelle has scheduled some renos for the
bathroom which will make a great little apartment even better. I
would also recommend Sabine's tours. We did the Marais walking tour
with her and she was lovely, and it helped us get our bearings. We
had a brilliant time in Paris, and would definitely deal with
Isabelle again.

in late february 2010 my daughter
brought me to paris for my birthday. we stayed at isabelle's
montmorency apartment off rue st. martin. the evening we arrived was
very cold but once we opened the front door to the apartment we were
greeted with warm comfort. not alone was it warm but the decor of
the apartment was just what one would hope for in a parisianne home.
lots of colour, comfortable chairs - both upright and comfy couches,
big mirrors, beautiful french long windows. little curtin
arrangements hiding the more mundane necessities like the hoover and
the ironing board!! very chic. the shower was amazing. everything
you could need in a kitchen. however, since we were only there for a
long weekend we didn't get to use the kitchen much. loved hopping
downstairs in the morning to the delicious bakery to buy
breakfast... and laurent next door (not open on sunday) was great
fun. we had lunch there on the last day which he and his partner
cook. very reasonable and delicious.
it was so easy to get in and out of the apartment thanks to
isabelle's precise instructions. i loved that the apartment had so
many different areas, really very well designed.
it was the kind of place that i would be quite happy to stay on my
own - very secure, and yet part of the community.
i would recommend this apartment to everyone and hope to return
there soon myself. thanks again isabelle. well done! mary and
margaret.
