Quiet, cozy eyrie in Paris
This apartment was very cute, though small, just as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked and we spent most of our time there. With 108 stairs, you really don't want to leave more than once a day so we had many breakfasts there.

Heart of Paris.
Incredible location. Walking to pantheon, st germain, notre dame, siene and louvre. Top floor apartment with great views of several monuments including Eiffel Tower. It is a six floor walk up so beware but the price reflects. Good spot.

Great location and good views.
Very clean flat, happy with the amenities, kitchen, washer, and other appliances. Be in shape for the 104 spiral step climb!!! Very little storage so we had to live out of our baggage, but still better than a hotel room. overall happy with stay at flat.

First time in Paris
Small French flat but we enjoyed it. 7 flights of spiral staircase made it impossible to go out once we climbed up after a long day out sightseeing. Host met us at the door and showed us up to our rooms. Small view of Eiffel but still nice.

Terrific base for a visit to Paris.
We really enjoyed staying at this property. Alain was very accommodating and helpful. Despite an epic heat wave in Paris we were comfortable. The location near Luxembourg gardens and the Pantheon was great.

Great location
The location was great right next to the Luxemburg gardens, 5 min walk to METRO. The view from the apartment was beautiful and the plants on the window ledges made it homey. The downside were the stairs but they were not horrible but if your not used to the physical exertion they might be overwhelming. The noise from the traffic and construction was very loud and since it was warm the windows had to be open otherwise it would be too hot. Had issues with TV so we just gave up and did not even try it would have been nice to just relax and watch TV at the end of day. Second room had no where to store clothes, random closet with hangers but full of cleaning supplies and vacuum. Too many tiny end tables that took up valuable space in this apartment. The bathroom tub was a bit dangerous, it was an odd shape and design and high off the ground but no handle bars to hold onto. I would have given the place a 5 but it was a bit dirty when we got there, i had to clean it myself (hair in the sink, water stains on the wood in the bathroom and rotten food in the fridge.

My family and I felt at home and comfortable while stay in Paris during one of the hottest weeks on record, largely because of the lovely cross breeze in and beautiful views from Alain’s place.

Excellent location, nice views, STAIRS, wonderful Parisian flat
Stayed 3 nights & loved the location. Very close to the metro, 1 block from Luxembourg gardens, walking distance to Catacombs, & easy access to all zone 1 Paris attractions. Yes -- there are a LOT of stairs. 107 to be exact, but the view makes it worth it. The flat is decent-sized, the kitchen is all updated. The bed in the main bedroom is nice, and the sofa converts to a very large bed-- basically two twin-sized mattresses side by side after you pull it out, so it easily accommodated both our teen girls. The only negative was the shower curtain. It had mold or mildew on it & really needs to be replaced. The rest of the flat was very clean. Would stay here again.

Paris Perfection
This was an amazing apartment in a great location. Walking distance to Luxembourg gardens. A handy atm, general grocers, pharmacy and cafes all really close. Larger supermarkets a short bus ride away (or walk if you want to carry them) and an amazing bakery across the road. Very clean and my entire family loved it. The view from the windows are amazing and let in a pleasant evening breeze. Owner was super friendly and made us feel instantly welcomed.

The work is worth it -- but reviews are not kidding about the stairs!
Alain meets you at the door and helps with your luggage -- a big shout out to him for that! The steps are for real: 106, or 70 seconds climbing straight up a narrow spiral staircase (stay to the wall for widest steps). The view is spectacular, gazing out at Paris apartments and rooftops, tiny view of the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse building in the distance. Along with the sights of Paris comes, not surprisingly, the sounds of sirens wailing to add to the atmosphere. The unit is authentically Parisian, as in smallish – but unscreened windows in every room open wide to eliminate any closed-in feeling. The bed is a comfortable King and there is a single bed in the “living room,” which acts as a couch or can become a bed.. Again, smallish in all respects but you are most definitely in the center of things – 3 blocks to the Luxembourg RER Station, close to the Luxembourg Gardens, walkable to Notre Dame and the Pantheon as well as the entire Left Bank. Stovetop and oven/microwave (we couldn't figure any of it out, rummaged for instruction booklet to no avail). Refrigerator, Nespresso, French drip coffee-maker and an electric kettle. Bathtub and shower with again, another big window. We did not dare the washer in the bathroom (no dryer unless this is a combo but again, no instructions). Your window on the Paris world awaits you if you’ve got those stairs in you! P.S. If you visit the Eiffel Tower and take the lift to the very top, that too takes 70-seconds – just like your climb to this charming atelier in the sky!

A wonderful base for a visit in an excellent neighborhood
We loved this little flat as our home base for 9 days in Paris. There are great places to pick up food very close by, including a creperie; Le Petit Jacques for sandwiches and meats; Patisserie Sebastien a couple of blocks away and another pretty good patisserie right across the street, outstanding restaurant Les Papilles just down the street and more. The flat is well-situated to walk to the main attractions of Paris, e.g. Notre Dame, the Louvre and other museums, etc. Public transportation was easy to use and quite convenient. The flat was comfortable, well-furnished with all necessities, and you do get used to climbing six flights of stairs eventually. It is great to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle out of your kitchen window at the top of each hour after dark.

Fantastic location. The flat looked exactly as in photos. The host was accommodating. Stairs r tough
The views were amazing. The flat was great. Had all you would need during your stay. The host went over and above. The neighborhood offers a locals experience of Paris. Was close to a subway and many Parisian sights. The only reason we didn’t give it 5 stars is because although warned of the many steps (107 to be exact) climbing them daily isn’t for everyone. Keeping that in mind....We would definitely stay there again.

Delightful
So glad we stayed here! This was a little treasure for us to savour inner Paris. Yes the stairwell steps take some effort but it was all the more memorable bcs of it. An easy walk to a choice of several metro stations and accessible by foot to major landmarks. Well appointed kitchen comfortable sleeping and can easily see the upper half of the Eiffel Tower in her sparkling glory from the kitchen. Really grateful for this gem.

Very spacious and comfortable
The place is large with 2 sleeping areas, beds very comfortable, a fully equipped kitchen, very nice modern bathroom with tub, lots of ammenities! Even a washer (was easy to use). Lovely views. There were more amenities than expected (shampoo, body wash, coffee, etc.). The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the stairs, we had been warned in the reviews... after walking all day in Paris and taking the metro with lots of stairs, we didn’t look forward to climbing more stairs, but we did it! When people recommend , small , light luggage, pay attention, we thought we did small, not small enough! Pack extremely light! A very light backpack, regular luggage was tough to carry up, even the small carry on style. Location was 15 minutes walk from Notre Dame, and the Seine, 3 minutes from Luxembourg metro station (very convenient) which we too straight from the airport. Near the hop on/off bus route. Alain was available if we needed anything.

Perfect location
This is a lovely little apartment within walking distance of all the amazing sites of Paris. It is very clean, well equipped and the host Alain is very accommodating. The steps to the apartment are steep and curving and there are 120 of them, so keep your luggage small and light. Lovely roof top view as shown in the photo. Highly recommend.

Most charming flat in Paris!
We loved our stay in Paris in this charming apartment! My girlfriends and I arrived around noon time to the complex and the host greeted us soon after to show us the location to our apartment. The stairs to the apartment are definitely steep and curvy - don’t bring large suitcases because it will be a hassle lugging them up! We did get quite a workout every day going up those stairs, but even with the stairs the apartment is totally worth it! There are 5 windows throughout the place and the natural light is beautiful during the day. From one side of the building you can see the Pantheon and from another side the Tour Montparnasse and the Eiffel Tower. My favorite time was to sit in the kitchen by the windows and watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night, those were the best memories! The host was very kind and helpful and showed us how to connect to the internet and gave us his number to connect with him in case of anything. We definitely used the washing machine and at the end of our stay we figured out that the apartment also has a towel warmer! It also has a tiny closet and an ironing board and an iron- which was extremely useful to iron out the wrinkles from my evening dress. The kitchen was fully loaded with all the utensils: we made breakfast almost every morning and dinner in the evenings. Ask the host to show you how to operate the stove, I’ve never used one of those (maybe in Europe they are well known?) but I did had to google the manual to be able to turn it on and off. The area is very safe and even walking late at night we felt pretty safe in the neighborhood. The nearest metro stop is Luxembourg which is one of the larger stations... the Luxembourg gardens are almost across the street from the apartment and opened daily at 7:30am - had I known how close they were I would have went for a good jog! But to go there early in the morning is very relaxing as well. There’s a bakery accross the street and one a bit further down closer to the RER/metro station- both are very delicious and the staff is super friendly! When I will be back in Paris, I am definitely staying here! The apartment is decently located near Norte Dame and other famous sightseeing areas, from the apartment we walked to Louvre, Norte Dame and the Seine River. We shopped at monoprix store in the area for all the groceries- decently priced and we were happy with selections! We booked for 4 adults and all had plenty of space to breathe.

Cosy little apartment.
Good value, great location. Thankfully the owner’s friend helped us with our suitcases. Pack lightly. It is a long way up the steep spiral stairs. It definitely got us in shape for the four floor walk up in Italy. The people of Paris were lovely , helpful and friendly. We are going back in warmer weather. Robin and Karyn

Home away from home, really!
I absolutely loved my stay! Phillip was a wonderful host! Very kind and helpful! The apartment was exactly as it was advertised. Clean and comfortable with fantastic views of the city AND the Eiffel Tower. The neighborhood surrounding the flat was so perfect. Not touristy. It was full of great shops and restaurants. There is a really cool street just a few blocks away that is full of open sea food, pastry, cheese, and charcuterie shops. "Snacking" Boulangerie Patissier is right across from the entrance to the building, and it is full of wonderful goodies. There is also Le Petit Jacques on the other side of the building, go in there!! They have the best Foie Gras, Cheese, Charcuterie and pastries. It's family owned and they could not have been more friendly and welcoming! This is the perfect location, centrally located and easy to walk to many great must see sites, or just wander the surrounding neighborhood, it's beautiful! My only regret is that I didn't stay longer.

Nice flat, very nice host
The host met us to give us the keys and show us around when we arrived. The flat is on the 5th floor, which is a lot of stairs, but the host offered to carry our bags for us which was nice. Washing machine is a bit small but very useful. Bed is comfortable. Kitchen has induction stovetop and heats very quickly. The location is excellent for the metro and even walking.

Just as the pictures show! Very comfortable, and well stocked with everything you need. And Alain left a lovely bottle of wine as well:) Comfortable beds, nice bathroom, and well suited kitchen! Very clean! The views were fun too. I would suggest ear plugs if you're not used to city noises. And 107 stairs to the top of the 7th floor. Good workout!;)
