Oct 23, 2015:  Christine T. - Mineveh, IN for 4 nights

Comments:Everything was wonderful. Would love to visit this property again, however the initial rate is very expensive. We wouldn't have been able to afford this apartment if we did not get the discount.

May 28, 2014:  Christine M. - Warrington, United Kingdom for 4 nights

Comments:Most of the time the building was very quiet inside, however one night at about 2pm we were awoken by extremely loud banging and shouting (in French) which went on for about an hour. I assume it was some sort of domestic argument which you could not predict would happen. We would have liked there to be a blind on the bathroom door that was situated next to the kitchen. The door was glass and therefore we felt it lacked privacy as we were a party of adults. The toilet doors did have blinds on them. This is a lovely apartment in a vibrant area of Paris. Vacation in Paris staff were helpful and met with our requests- for a change in the number of our party from five to six people and also a change in arrival time. We were happy with your service and

Comments:Joe was great. Location AWESOME. Front door entrance below average. Appliances a bit quirky. Washer/drier weak. Sofa bed below average.

Nov 23, 2013:  Julie L. - Beverly Hills, CA for 7 nights

Comments:We had a wonderful trip to Paris! A big part of our vacation's success was the location and set up of the apartment. We especially appreciated the bathrooms' layout -- both bathrooms had separate WCs. Also, the location was fantastic -- across the river from Notre Dame -- impossible to get lost! We didn't use the kitchen except to make coffee and keep water in the fridge, but it seemed nice and had everything. The airport pick-up/ drop-off service recommended was horrible. The man who picked us up was terrific, even though his English wasn't fluent, he managed to give all sorts of great tips. The drive to the airport was terrifying. The driver (who evidently was the owner) was upset because it took us 10 minutes to get downstairs. We were 4 adults with 4 heavy bags and the elevator was tiny. It took time and we did not want to wait outside at 5am. He drove at top speed the entire way to CDG, weaving in and out of traffic and cutting in front of trucks, etc. We are from Los Angeles and are used to crazy driving but this was unbelievable. We felt that our lives were in danger. Seriously. When we emailed Joseph, he said that he spoke to the driver and was told that we were late and therefore it was our fault. This is hard to imagine because when you are in the business of picking people up from the airport, sometimes there are travel delays.

Oct 29, 2013:  Dana S. - Stuart, FL for 6 nights

Comments:Everything was perfect. The welcome wine and package was so nice and we loved this apartment and would definitely choose to stay there again out next visit to Paris. We had plenty of towels and linens for all of us. We slept very comfortably and thoroughly enjoyed every minute in Paris and this apartment!! Keep up the great work! We can't wait to come back!!

Oct 01, 2013:  Mary K. - Kaysville, UT for 5 nights

Comments:ID 238 was a wonderful unit. Up-scale with unique decor. Fully loaded with extra amenities. Fun area close to all transportation. That made up for rue Huchette around the corner, with the crowds of tourists, partiers and food hawkers, but I must say some of the street food was yummy. Fun area in general. The unit was quiet, especially with windows shut. The only drawback was the sofa-bed. It looked expensive, but the arm cussions wouldn't stay put, a flimsy pad, sparse wooden slats and squeeks made for sleepless nights. A real disapointment. Master bed was great, twins were small, but ok. I've noticed that often "twins" means one smallish twin and one port-a-bed style. Good layout and light, open feeling. Overall a great choice. Thanks to VIP for your wonderful service, as always. Now we've stayed in ten of your apartments and we've loved each for different reasons. There are always pros and cons, as we are spoiled. We try to keep that in mind. The only deal-breakers have been the beds, usually the hide-a-beds. Next to location, sleep is my second priority. The only reason I marked "wouldn't stay here again" is because I prefer other areas more, and we like to have a different experience every time. Also, the price is high for me. It is a great apartment and I would highly recommend it.

Comments:Having this alert meant to "come home to" at the end of a lo g day was a fantastic treat. My favorite thing in Paris was this property.

Apr 13, 2013:  Julie M. - Boston, MA for 3 nights

Comments:Overall- a very nice property and excellent location. But some critique is detailed below... I have used Vacation in Paris several occasions, have recommended to friends who have also booked properties, and I will absolutely use your service again. I appreciate that there is a variety of apartments in many price ranges. However I would think twi

Apr 06, 2013:  Paige L. - Lyndhurst, OH for 7 nights

Comments:I have rented this property with girlfriends the past three years in the early spring. We have already booked our 2014 vacation and will be staying in the same rental property #238. It is a fabulous location and so easy to navigate around Paris with the Metro, bus lines, river and wonderful shopping and eating so near by. The outside noise is only a problem on the weekends if someone is sleeping on the pull out couch in the living area. We have recommended this location to several friends and VIP has received bookings in the same building in rental properties on the top floor. I am so excited to return to Paris in March, 2014.

Nov 17, 2012:  Catherine Y. - San Diego, CA for 7 nights

Comments:There were a few fixtures tat needed to be tightened/fixed. Th light over the sink in the kitchen, the door knobs to the bath rooms. I'd just have someone come in and check everything is tight. the book for the apt. was very good. I had everything we needed Better than others we have seen.

Oct 12, 2012:  Cammie C. - Summersville, WV for 6 nights

Comments:The reason that I would not use this property again is because of the location. When I booked the trip, it was exactly where I wanted to be. Now that I have explored Paris more, I think there are other location in the city that I would stay. I wish I could move the apartment to a less "touristy" area.

Comments:Apartment is very noisy at night due to the proximity of a number of restaurants

May 17, 2012:  Melissa Y. - Milton, MA for 5 nights

Comments:The apartment was nice and the location was great. Might want to mention that the elevator is very tiny. Also, the closet doors were broken and the first bedroom's headboard on the bed was moved out to the living room (against the wall). We thought it was a decoration and mounted to the wall. My 2yr old nephew almost got killed when it almost fell on him. The bathrooms vents weren't working.

May 10, 2012:  Michael M. - Calwell, ACT Australia for 4 nights

Comments:We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a great location and the apartment was first class.

May 01, 2012:  Victoria C. - New York, NY for 6 nights

Comments:We loved the location and the apartment itself was fine. The bedding in the smaller bedroom really is better suited for children rather then a second couple. The outside noises late at night we're very loud as the apartment building is located above several restuarants so if there are late evening diners in the back open space the loud sounds of happy dinner goers made sleeping almost impossible. Also the smells from the Gyro establishment directly below the windows of the apartment were overpowering at times. Also the fact that they advertise a washer dryer that is in constant disrepair seems like that should be removed as a "feature". The location was fantastic! Our overall experience was positive and we definitely would rent an apartment again, but probably not this one. The major issue was the late night noises from below that made sleeping difficult.

Comments:Communication with renting was easy to do. Was nervous since this was the first time using. Just thank you. With your help, this trip was the BEST.

Nov 18, 2011:  Kimberly W. - Atlanta, GA for 7 nights

Comments:I would have given everything a 10 except there were quite a few fruit flies in the apartment and they were quite annoying. We did our best to get rid of them. Otherwise, everything was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay.

Oct 10, 2011:  Martha K. - Watertown, MA for 6 nights

Comments:This was our second stay in the apartment and it was at least as much fun as the first. Maybe moer as we now know the neighborhood and have a few favorite spots.

Sep 27, 2011:  Betty W. - Washington, DC for 3 nights

Comments:Please replace fan in master bedroom and fix coffee maker in kitchen, which did not work. It was nice to have a reference book which pointed us to some good restaurants and other places. It was nice to enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine without shopping that first day. You need to simplify the system of using the TV--way too complicated and easy to get it out of whack where you can't use it at all. Our coffee maker did not really work and needs to be worked on--it leaked all over the counter. It was hot and the fan in the master bedroom made so much noise screeching that we could not use it. Please replace. Beautiful place and we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated it so much that we could easily call home and check on our family and doggie.

Sep 05, 2011:  Janine L S. - Dallas, TX for 5 nights

Comments:The shower in the master bedroom didn't drain well, but we were informed of this on our initial walk thru. We absolutely adored Paris and the apartment was perfect for the 5 ladies in our group!!! We would definitely stay here again due to the terrific location and ease of getting everywhere we needed to go.

May 22, 2011:  Gary K. - Newtown, PA for 4 nights

Comments:Manager on time and thorough. There is a security issue with this building. Adjacent restaurant uses garbage room, providing access into building without having to use security keys. The location and facilities were very good for our purposes - we ate thank you for your help. we would certainly consider working with you again.

May 19, 2011:  Sharon O. - , for 3 nights

Comments:already DID recommend your apartment to a friend! The washing machine is a bit tricky but other than that, we loved the place! oh, i should add that the retro bathroom is strange...just doesn't fit with the rest of the place (in my opinion). Lots of room with a big dining room table. Great for our meals together. Apartment is right in the thick of things in Paris! Thank you Appreciate your assistance in finding the right place in Paris. thank you.

Apr 15, 2011:  Michael S. - Vienna, VA for 7 nights

Comments:We loved everything about the apartment. Hard to find too much wrong. The drain was slow in the MBR -- and others had commented on it in earlier stays -- so a bit surprised it wasnt addressed. Other than that -- cannot think of any issues or criticisms.

Mar 26, 2011:  Constance J. - Columbus, OH for 7 nights

Comments:I go to Paris all the time and this apartment was the best ever! Five sorority sisters meant in Paris and we had such a fun and wonderful time in this apartment, We all are seasoned travelers but felt this apartment really made our trip so much fun. Everything about the apartment was perfect. It was on a noisy street but it was such an alive and exciting area. Accommodations are such an important part of any trip and this apartment certainly didn't disappoint any of us. We loved being in the Latin Quater plus the apartment is in a really great location for getting mass transportation. It was very easy to catch the bus or Metro. We all had a wonderful time and hope to repeat it next year. It was perfect!

Comments:We had a wonderful time. We loved the location. They were in the process of painting the stairwell during our stay but the workers were very polite and accommodating. We loved waking up to the smell of fresh bread from the bakery below!

Comments:Fantastic apartment in a great location. Certainly was noisy on the weekend nights but was to be expected for the location. Really great unique furnishings. It made Paris a lot easier for me to enjoy.

Sep 24, 2010:  Andrea L. - Houma, LA for 4 nights

Comments:We loved the apartment, the location is fantastic and enjoyed the area. Access to lots of shops, food and excellent location for the metro. The kitchen was very nice except that the clothes dryer wasn't working and was due to be fixed the day of departur Keep up the good work.

Sep 14, 2010:  Amy Lynne W. - Toronto, ONT Canada for 8 nights

Comments:If you have customers who are worried about security, they should know that the door from the Italian restauant opens directly into the lobby of the building and bypasses the security locks. That door is not locked and was open most of the time the restaurant was. In fact, while we were there the owner of the restaurant let people go through that door into the building - we just hope they were actually staying there! Small point, the drain in the main shower needs to be cleared out. The floor of the shower fills up really quickly. The noise was loud from outside but that is to be expected I think. The restaurants around the back courtyard open their back doors early in the morning and then all the talking and laughing from the staff just funnels up to the windows of the apartment. I would recommend ear plugs. That being said, again, I think it should be expected given the neighbourhood and all the wonderful things around, but if someone is looking for a nice quiet spot they should know that this is not it!
