This is a great bright and airy apartment with open views out onto a newly renovated gorgeous building, actually the Postal Bank of France. Very handsomely decorated with original pieces of artwork and quality furnishings, it is a great place to call ‘home base’ while you come and explore Paris. This area is just southwest of St. Germain and is called the “Bon Marché” area because of the fantastic well know left bank mega department store......the left bank’s challenge to the Gallerie Lafayette.

Clean, modern apartment within walking distance of numerous "must see" sites in central Paris. Easy, close access to public transportation. Loved the neighborhood. My wife and daughter really enjoyed the cafes, shops, markets along Rue du Cherche Midi which was right around the corner from the apartment. The Marche Biologique is an open air organic market open on Sundays on the corner of rue du Cherche Midi and Boulevard Raspail - highly recommend the roasted chicken and potatoes.

The apartment has everything you need for preparing your own meals - appliances, cutlery, dishes, etc. Furnishings, although not luxurious, were more than adequate. Bathroom was actually two seperate rooms - one with a shower and sink and one with a toilet and sink - and was clean and all the fixtures worked perfectly (however, on one morning we did run out of hot water in the shower). Plenty of good books in the apartment, if you have the time, in both French and English.

Two minor points to be aware of; the apartment is a walk up on the 4^th floor so be prepared for 5 flights of stairs (would not recommend for older travelers or people with disabilities), and the furnished towels in the bathroom are very thin.

Service was excellent. Received our key and very detailed, clear instructions from "Vacation in Paris" in plenty of time prior to our departure. Bottle of wine waiting in the apartment upon our arrival was a nice touch. Overall a terrific bargain and highly recommended. We will more than likely seek the same apartment for our next visit.

This was a great unit for two people, and proved to be extremely convenient. The metro stop was right around the corner, as well as two grocery stores, plus La Grande Epicerie (Le Bon Marche's food hall). There were a number of other businesses in the area as well, including restaurants and patisseries, although we didn't get to them.

The only drawback is that this building does not have an elevator, but we knew that going in. It was only difficult when we arrived and had to lug our suitcases up the stairs.
The apartment itself was very comfortable, with the bath area separate from the toilet and two separate sleeping areas - a small bedroom and a pullout sofa. The kitchen is more of a kitchenette, with a 2-burner stove, small refrigerator, and combo microwave/grill oven. We cooked several dinners there.

What I loved about this place is the wireless internet connection, and having a view of the tip of the Eiffel Tower. Sure, it was just the top third of the tower, but something about looking out the window at it every night was very comforting to me, especially as the light show occurred on the hour every night.  The experience with Vacation in Paris was flawless as well. I received the keys very early (I was traveling to other locations before my arrival in Paris) and the information received with the key and through e-mail was helpful. There was also additional info in the apartment - we just wished the instructions for using the washer/dryer were more thorough. The welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch as well.

I recently returned the keys and got an e-mail confirmation, as well as a refund of the key deposit.  Next time I'd like to stay in the 7^th arr.....we booked a little last minute this time, but this unit proved to be ultra convenient! The experience with VIP was great as well.
