I am trying to conjour the right words to describe Parisian BLISS....but my poetic skills leave me hanging dry. But just being in Perfectly Paris's Caulaincourt Charm apartment had me feeling much like a poet or artist, and I didn't need to come up with any fancy words or descriptions, because just being there did that for me! Two huge, gorgeous arched windows look out onto the street scene below and is Located in the perfect neighborhood in Montmartre. A little bit away from the tourist hustle of Place du Tertre, but just steps away...with every amenity ever imaginable; a great cheese shop right below the apartment, a patisserie 3 steps up (with THE best little loaf of bread featuring multiple grains, especially sesame!) a small market across the street with literally everything you'd need, a pharmacy, and to put the cherry on top, the #80 bus stops right out front of the apartment in both directions! This is ideal for anyone who is beyond the ups and downs of the Metro stairs...from the #80 you can connect with nearly every bus line you'd need to discover ALL of Paris! The apartment itself is tastefully decorated, not too over the top, with just enough Parisian chic to let you know you are not in Kansas anymore, but not overwhelming with cutsey-poo! It is handsome and appropriate for both male and female guests. Complete kitchen with every pot or pan you might need, a television, internet access, and a nice deep soaking tub in the bathroom! An absolute RARITY in Parisian apartments!! The Caulaincourt Charm apartment crosses off so many boxes for everything a travelor to Paris might hope for and expect, and Perfectly Paris really delivers, especially with their customer service. We were met at the very door of the apartment by Georgina who waited for us while we traversed through Charles de Gaul airport enroute to the apartment. She had put the heat on so it would be nice and warm for our arrival. She was very patient and showed us EVERYTHING we needed to know about the apartment; from the use of the heater, the towel warmer racks, the washing machine, the dishwasher, etc. The experience was so wonderful, and in fact I have repeated my use of Perfectly Paris because of it. ...
Read moreWe stayed at the Rue Greneta apartment for 6 weeks in September/October 2021. Gail met us at the apartment—in fact she was waiting on the sidewalk when the cab pulled up! She showed us around the apartment and explained in detail how everything worked. We had a couple questions during our stay and Gail replied promptly.
The apartment is in a great location near les halles and is convenient to all the sights of Paris. The apartment was large and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the dishes, glasses, pots and pans that we needed. We felt at home immediately. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and frequented Stoney Clove Bakery, Le Tambour, and Jaipur Indian multiple times. There are many boulangeries around the apartment and we couldn’t decide on our favorite.
Our 6 weeks in this apartment were wonderful and we would love to stay here again on a future trip to Paris.
We spent another 5 weeks in Paris in Aug/Sep 2022 at one of Gail's apartments, the Canal Apartment in the 10th. We have stayed at this apartment twice now. It's a great apartment with a nice view of the Canal St Martin and is a nice size for 2 people for a longer stay. The transportation options at Place de la Republique make this a convenient location. The kitchen in the apartment was well-stocked with all the cookware that we needed for cooking. We especially appreciated the separate freezer and tried a number of great items from the Picard downstairs. This time we were able to take advantage of the outdoor space which was lovely. We would definitely stay here again and it would be hard to choose between Rue Greneta from last year and...
Read moreWe rented Artist's corner, overall the premises were rundown and in a bit of disrepair.
the rugs were threadbare the upstairs apartment had recently caused water damage in this apartment, there was a piece of ceiling that was barely hanging on above us in the kitchen. We were concerned enough to not want to spend time in the kitchen, therefore we ate out and lost any advantage to having a kitchen the washer/dryer combo was stopped after 5.5 hours of operation, it took forever to get a small wash done. I would use a laudrymat instead the shower had no soap dish, no place to put shampoo or soap except on the floor of the shower (kinda gross) the kitchen smelled of old humidity and the common area staircase smelled of urine the guest comments book had a 1 inch wire back but there were only about 20 pages in the book. Some guests had made reference to past comments that could not be found. Led me to believe that there was possibly some "creative editing" being done by Perfectly Paris.
Overall there was not a big savings, should have stayed in a hotel with...
