ideal adress for a Paris visitor,recently decorated, fine amenities, furniture.

For us, the location was perfect - easy to walk to many sites and easy access to several metro stops. Because it's on a tiny side street, it was quiet - a gift in Paris! The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. And the bed was quite comfortable. No stand-up shower, which wasn't a problem for my sister and I as we're little people who fit in the small tub with hand-held shower head. I think it could have been awkward for someone larger. My only complaint might be the payment instructions which required more effort than other rentals I've used in the past. The owner asks for half of the money to be wired directly to him and the remainder is to be brought in euros. A little unorthodox and had me wondering if it was legit, right up to the moment of receiving the key and realizing all was well. Lastly a personal check for the security deposit is required and left with the caretaker until he can come and inspect at your departure. Not a big problem, but it turned into one when our airport shuttle had arrived on time for our return, but the caretaker had not. He arrived 45 minutes later than we had agreed upon to inspect the apt and return the check - making our very patient shuttle driver wait (easygoshuttle). Once the caretaker arrived, he explained his delay, but our drive to the airport was nerve wracking because we were that much later than we had carefully planned. Overall, we had a perfect stay in Paris and despite my comments above, I would still recommend this apartment.

In November of 2018, my husband and I stayed for 7 days in the apartment at 5 Rue Cochin, Paris, owned by Alexander Inglessis. We have visited Paris many times, and this apartment is the best that we have stayed in. It has a large living room with large windows overlooking the street, a comfortable sofa, chairs and dining table, nicely decorated. We enjoyed breakfast there, and several dinners as well. Rue Cochin is very quiet; it is only one block long with no traffic.

The amenities are unusually thoughtful and useful. The owner supplies a free telephone, wi-fi, laptop computer, and a large tv for watching programs or videos. There are notebooks with helpful information about visiting in Paris – for example, how to book a taxi in English. The property manager is also available to answer questions.

There is one bedroom – very quiet although small, with a queen size bed and cabinets for clothes. The kitchen is small but has every convenience for meals – stove with oven and burners, a large refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and lots of dishes, glasses and utensils. There are large closets in the hall and a welcome bathtub with an attached shower.

Soap, shampoo and lots of towels provided.

The apartment is one block from Boulevard Saint Germain and from there, a 3 block walk to the Metro at Place Maubert. The neighborhood is lively with lots of cafes, restaurants, bakeries and food shops. At the Metro is a cluster of shops selling “take-out” gourmet food – a bakery, a cheese store, a vegetable and fruit stand, a butcher with delicious cooked meats, and a fish store with cooked sea food.

We ate at three different restaurants in the neighborhood – two of them right around the corner from the apartment (one was pasta and pizza, the other a bistro).

A third specialized in fish, was elegant and very very good.

In short, we would definitely return to this apartment. It made our stay in Paris comfortable, easy and fun.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Paris, and this flat was instrumental in making it a memorable experience. We loved the Latin District location, with great restaurants, shopping, pharmacies, small markets, and restaurants. Also, it was close to tour buses and Notre-Dame Cathedral.

We were met by Paul, who checked us in, and treated us to fruits, eggs and butter for our first day. Also, we were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine, and homemade jam for our stay.

We grew to love this flat and by the time we left, we felt like it was our home in Paris!

We arrived with our 13 year old grandson who was delighted to find a piano to play. A welcome jar of home made jam and bottle of red wine awaited us as well as the helpful property manager.

All facilities were available and worked. Art books travel,antiques,auction catalogues in English and French. We all slept well. Good cooking facilities. Excellent location for restaurants, transport and sightseeing.

Would stay here again.

We stayed in the apartment for three weeks and were extremely comfortable. The bed is comfortable and the facilities, linens, storage facilities, and kitchen utensils are all high quality. The apartment is very well decorated, and the instruction booklets (in French) for all the appliances are organized in a binder. The apartment is in quite an amazing location: 5 minutes to the river Seine, yet on a quiet street, and the bedroom faces an inner courtyard. There are so many excellent markets, food shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity that one doesn’t really even need to leave the arrondissement to live extremely well. All in all, I do not hesitate to recommend this apartment.
