Perfect property for a family visit to Paris. Quiet, Charming, Excellent Location

We loved staying here. It was charming, unique and clean. The location was outstanding. The side street is is on is extremely quiet, yet after walking 2 minutes you are in the hustle and bustle of the city and right at the Liege metro stop.Being able to do laundry on our week stay in Paris was great as well.We enjoyed the Nespresso machine, the modern kitchen and the bedding was great.Would completely recommend for a family stay in Paris.

Perfect Paris vacation!

First time visiting Paris and we were a bit unsure as to where to stay. So glad we found this location! Both hosts were wonderful to communicate with and made the check in/check out process easy and stress – free. The apartment was as advertised in a wonderful location. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Excellent Service & Location

The host was kind and attentive before and during our stay. Location and size couldn't be more perfect for a family of 4 adults and 1 five five-year-old. Although it isn't 5/5 stars, I recommend staying here, and I would do so again. The reason for the -1 star is that the blankets had not been washed before our stay, and we found makeup residue on them.

Amazing apartment in Paris!

Our family (2 parents + 3 teens) loved our stay in this apartment. It had everything we needed, was clean, and such a great location. We loved that it was behind a security gate and down a quaint little alley way. We felt very safe there and in the neighborhood. There was great shopping and food nearby. We stopped at the bakery every morning and evening. Having the metro so close was such a plus. We would highly recommend this apartment and we will definitely stay here again if we make it back to Paris!

Better than the Hilton!

The apartment is terrific! It's modern, clean, well-stocked, quiet, well-managed and in a great location. Working with Lucile and Arnaud couldn't have been easier. For many years, when we've visited Paris we have stayed at the Hilton Paris Opera, which is only a few blocks from the apartment. Staying at this apartment was a much better experience. You won't get room service, but you'll get a much more authentic, rewarding and enjoyable experience than staying at a hotel.

Thanksgiving in Paris

We took our Fifteen year old to Paris for the first time. This gorgeous property provided the perfect base to move around mostly via metro. Restaurants, mini market, metro station and boulangerie/patisserie all a couple hundred yards from the property. This loft/mini house is secluded in a private cul De sac. So when you are in, you are away from street noise yet everything is close by. Regarding amenities and comfort, you will have everything you can imagine. Your little Parisian home. We will repeat when we comeback to Paris.

Great Little Hide Away

This was a great place to stay. In the heart of Paris and yet in a quiet and secure place. There were so many bakeries, shops and a variety of restraints within walking distance from the flat. I had my wife and two adult children with me and it was a very nice setup. Having the washer/dryer was a big help. It was close to the Metro and we Ubered a few times and that were very affordable. Arnaud met us at the gate and gave us a nice tour of the flat and told us about the neighborhood. He was a very pleasant man. I highly recommend this property. Thank you Lucile and Arnaud,

Great place.

The place was clean. The beds were comfortable. The washing machine worked well and was clean. The location was ideal for someone who takes the metro as there is a stop a few meters away and a main connection just a couple of blocks away. The bakeries on the corner were really good and there are two grocery stores within 2 blocks. This apartment even had an oven! The loft worked well for us but you need to be under about 168 cm (5’6”) or you will bump your head if you get up too fast. The shower was lovely but I found the hot water very hot. We were able to sign into Prime Video which extended our English language tv a lot. Overall, I would stay here again. It was very quiet and felt very safe.

Don’t Think, Book!

We are a family of 4, two adults and two teenagers (13 and 15) and the place was comfortable for all of us. The location was great with metro stations nearby. The apartment is very clean. It has those little “extras” that let you know the host caters to travelers, which makes the difference between 4 and 5 stars, like multiple ports/spots for charging your devices, a hair dryer, a binder with info, and map of the metro/transit system. These are the little things that were done that made us feel welcome in the home. It’s a quiet area and especially quiet at night. No street noise, so we were all able to sleep well. I would definitely recommend this property to a family of 4, even 5.

Absolutely amazing stay. The flat is exactly as pictured — we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Communication was easy and prompt. It’s super-close to so much public transportation, and Uber drivers found the location very easily. It’s a quiet refuge in a residential neighborhood, which we loved. Close to grocery stores, coffee shops, bakeries, you name it. Our 8-year-old slept soundly in the loft, and the beds were very comfy. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with the tools you need to cook your own meals. The skylights (with blinds) keep the flat full of light during the mornings, but it was wonderfully dark at night. If you’re a small family (like the three of us), do not hesitate to book this gem of a property!!

Wonderful stay at L'Ecrin Secret!

This apartment is a very special place - not only the apartment which is delightful, with every modern convenience, but the location is rare, private and super quiet (at the end of a private alleyway). The mezzanine bedroom above the living room was perfect for our 18 yr-old son, who could have a private space (not sound-isolated). My lifelong friend was very comfortable for a couple nights on the sofa bed, that has an actual mattress. The main bed is equally comfortable. There's every appliance one needs for cooking, and many thoughtful touches (Paris info, spices, espresso pods, basics for tea and coffee). Elegant design! Both the owner and gentleman who met us with the key were gracious and available to answer any questions. It's a magical modern apartment in a classic Parisian building, but very rare setting (kind of a carriage house with skylights!). We'd be thrilled to stay there again.

Best VRBO in Paris!Spacious, private, clean, and located in a safe area. This place truly has it all. It’s also centrally located, making it the perfect base for exploring Paris. Given the high cost of hotels in the city, why wouldn’t you consider staying here?Even though it was just my wife and me, the apartment can comfortably accommodate up to six people. The A/C works great (though we didn’t really need it during our stay). Since this was week two of our two-week trip in Europe, having a washer/dryer was a lifesaver. It allowed us to pack half as many clothes as we otherwise would have.The Wi-Fi worked reliably, and the apartment is literally steps away from the Metro. We never needed more than one transfer to reach any destination. On the day the Paris Metro workers went on strike (apparently a fairly common occurrence), we were still within walking distance, just a mile or two, of all the major attractions.Within a block or two, you’ll find excellent local restaurants, bakeries, fruit stands, and grocery stores. Communication with the owners was excellent as well. Arnaud personally met us at check-in, explained how all the appliances, TV, and internet worked, and answered every question we had.Staying in this private residential community made us feel like true Parisians rather than tourists in a hotel. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this place!
