A Lot of Research and This Was the One

Thank you for allowing us to stay in the beautiful apartment you call your home in Paris. We have had simply a wonderful time - every second of it savoured - from my morning run along the Seine, to visits to museums, to becoming friendly with the local proprietors . . . and just the superb 'hanging out' at home . . . just superb.
Thank you for the many guide books, the quality of the utensils and equipment and the obvious great energy you have out into the place. The wireless broadband was a great addition - we brought a laptop with us and used Skype to speak to our family back home everyday and the internet to check on opening times and research the museums etc we wanted to visit. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and the Dunlopillo beds very comfortable. The space was compact but efficient.
The proximity of the Chatelet to EVERYTHING is remarkable. We could hear the bells of Notre Dame on a Sunday morning, see the Seine from our living room window / terrace, walk only metres to Rue de Rivoli and the Louvre is only around 400m away! The metro is a stroll 50m and Chatelet's stop is the epicentre of all lines.
This was THE perfect place to stay in Paris.

Owner's Response: Dear Kerry,
Thank you so much for sharing our enthusiasm for this corner of Paris..We too love being resident in Paris, not just visitors. Other than museums and concerts and just walking, what we enjoy most is rue Montergueil street Market , gathering gourmet fare in our cart on wheels to bring home to play Michelin Chef and then dining by sunlight or candle light with a view of Saint Chapelle reflected in the mirror.
"A jug of wine and thou " and a bit of music completes it all. Do come back as soon as you can!
Best wishes,
Clare and Eric.
