< Back to Marais 2 Bedroom — Rosiers
Here is what some of our clients have to say about Haven in Paris & their stay in:
Rosiers
We had a wonderful stay at the Rosiers property. I had always heard that Paris was beautiful, but wow. What a great neighborhood. The apartment is perfectly located in relation to everything especially the Metro. The apartment is great. It comfortably handled three adults ( mother, father and grandmother) and two children. It is beautifully renovated and everything works well. Your apartment guide is quite helpful. It provides useful information about the apartment and the neighborhood. We tried several of the owner's recommendations, and we were pleased. I guess I was surprised that there was only one toilet. It was no big deal. More of an issue for my wife and mother, but not a big one. Overall, I have nothing bad to say about the property or Haven in Paris. I would totally rent through you again. I will recommend you to others. |

Spacious, contemporary, squeaky clean, excellent mattress(es), bedding, kitchen equipped to the hilt, including starter food such as coffee, tea, milk (all unexpected and welcomed). The only minor detail was the laptop available in the apartment that required some router adjustments but I imagine this will be fixed in no time given the efficiency of the Haven in Paris team. Location, location, location. In fact, we were slightly concerned knowing this is a sought-after and tourist-y zone especially weekends. However, the apartment was absolutely silent and we adored peering over the activity below (when there was any). Why HiP? We scoured the internet for apartments but in the end found this site to be right up our alley in terms of style of apartments, comforts and most of all exceptional efficiency by the staff. I look forward to renting again...as soon as possible! |

The Rosiers apartment is Parisian rental at its best. The apartment is stylish, well equipped, comfortable and in a fantastic location close to many major attractions and excellent shopping. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby and with good food stores on the doorstep 'eating in' was also possible with the well equipped kitchen. The Haven in Paris team customer service was first class- friendly, professional and easily available for queries at any time. Why HiP? Great choice of high quality apartments. Excellent and easy to use website with plenty of detail about the properties so you knew exactly what you were getting.Also the Haven in Paris team were very professional and friendly even though it was all done by e-mail! |
|
|
The location is close to perfect. Walking distance from many interesting areas of Paris and close to Metro stops. The apartment was great for 4 people. We only cooked once, but found the kitchen to be very functional. We would definitely rent the same apartment again. Why HiP? I have rented the Sacre Coeur penthouse studio twice before, so when I needed a larger apartment, you were the only choice. |

Working with Haven in Paris has truly been a pleasure. Each and every contact we had with your team members before even arriving in Paris was seamless, professional and very helpful. Upon arrival at the property, our greeter, Wendy, was wonderful. She was warm, charming, and helpful while walking us through everything we needed to know about the apartment. The apartment itself was great and exceeded our expectations. The location was exactly where we wanted to be -- in the heart of Le Marais -- and it was in excellent condition. The decor and set-up were such that it felt warm and homey, but fresh and well-cared for. The housekeeping was immaculate and all the supplies were thoughtfully well-stocked. We had such a wonderful stay and plan to work with Haven in Paris again when we next visit Paris. Why HiP? Our good friend, Tanya Blumstein, recommended Haven in Paris to us. |

The Rosier Apartment was beautifully appointed and very convenient. The St. Paul Metro stop was just at the end of the street. Although the neighborhood was lively, the apartment was very quiet and peaceful. The few neighbors that we encountered in the hall were very friendly and we felt welcome in the building. The guide in the apartment listed many great shops, restaurants and activities as well as provided directions for using the laptop and phone. Although we did not require any assistance from the HIP staff, they did check in on us during our stay and I felt confident that I could call on them or our greeter Wendy, if we needed help. I highly recommend the HIP service. Everything was exactly as described, the apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. What you see is what you get. The experience was first rate! Why HiP? Jim Brunelle recommended your service. |

The apartment I rented was absolutely wonderful! The greeter was on time, available for questions, gave us a complete tour of the apartment, and had a dozen roses for us to adorn the apartment (nice touch). My friend and I had a great time staying there. We loved the area it was located in. The drivers recommended were excellent. Overall a great visit and I would recommend the apartment and Haven in Paris without reservation. |
|
|
Our greeter was wonderful. She thoroughly showed us the property and all the amenities. The apartment was perfect! The rooms were beautiful and fully equipped. The location was ideal, very near metro and bus lines. The neighborhood was fun and interesting with many nearby outstanding restaurants. Their was copious amounts of hot water so we really enjoyed the beautiful bathtub and shower. Thank you to our greeter and the Haven in Paris staff. Why HiP? We choose to rent through Haven in Paris because the descriptions of the properties are generally very thorough. We also appreciate the excellent customer service and quick response time. This is our second time to use Haven in Paris. |

Regarding the person who greeted us at the flat; Actually there were three good looking, friendly ladies present when we arrived. They individually answered our question and also gave us answers to questions we didn't think of. All in all it was a positive experience. The flat was very clean on arrival, and when the flat was cleaned again, after the first week, it was first rate. I also like to thank you for the quick action when there was a malfunction of the bed. It was repaired quickly and properly. The apartment itself was very functional. Everything worked and the instructions for the operations of dishwasher and washer/dryer were clear. The location of the apartment was terrific a quick step to the Metro and a lot of nearby cafes and restaurants. |
|
|
Our stay was terrific in every regard, and we appreciate the great service we received from your team. We're already saving our pennies for our next stay with HiP! Our greeter, Wendy, was excellent. |
|

We loved the flat at rue Rosiers, and Wendy was wonderful - very helpful and accommodating, adjusting her schedule to help us out on both ends. Furnishings are lovely and tasteful; beds were heaven; kitchen is gorgeous; everything is very high-end. Apt. was clean as a whistle and well stocked. Location is fabulous; we walked almost everywhere from there. In summary, we had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to go back to rue Rosiers, and certainly will recommend Haven in Paris to all our friends. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful Paris experience. |
|
|
The Rosiers flat was our second time with Haven in Paris, and once more it was everything we expected! A lovely flat nicelly furnished and well equipped, in a great location, a charming fashion street, but also very quiet . It was perfect! Why HiP? It was our second time with you, and it is always great when you can do everything in a clear, simple and quick way. And this is how you, in Haven in Paris get to work. Congratulations. |

The cleaners was fabulous. We had special needs -- my son has severe food allergies -- and the cleaners went the "extra mile" to be sure that he was comfortable and healthy. The property was in excellent condition and we loved the neighborhood. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Wendy was helpful. We arrived about 2 hours early and she came over immediately to welcome us, and store our luggage until the existing guests had departed. We did not find HIP staff to have particularly helpful recommendations on two counts. We were unable to find a private driver to pick us up -- received only two recommendations from HIP and both were not available. HIP then directed us to the local taxi service. We also thought that HIP might be a bit more helpful in shopping suggestions for our food-allergic son. We ended up seeking advice from a native who directed us (without hesitation) to local organic/ health food stores. NOTE FROM HAVEN IN PARIS: We're so sorry you thought our staff was not helpful in regards to drivers and restaurants. We really strive to only recommend drivers whom we know personally and, at the time, only had two drivers to recommend. We've since added a third driver to our site. In addition, your point on organic super markets is well-taken and we will be writing up a list of Paris' organic super markets for all future clients. I hope this will be helpful to you and all future travelers. Why HiP? We looked on the internet for a reputable company. The property photos were enticing and staff was very responsive to our inquiries. In fact, staff even gave us a few people to contact re: their own experiences with the property. |

Hello Haven in Paris team: Wendy was wonderful as always!! The rosier apartment was great. I had no problems while staying at the apartment. I requested that the cleaners only come once and they did. I maintained the cleanliness of the apartment. My only problem was that the cleaning person was not a very happy person. She seemed bothered and just very unhappy. Other than this our stay was fabulous!! I have referred many friends and even some tourist (while out in Paris) your company. Note from Haven in Paris: We are sorry the cleaner was not happy. Normally she is. We have spoken to her about this. Why HiP? We rented in the past and haven in Paris made it easy to travel with my two small children they accommodated our needs. ( high chair, crib , linens and towels provided) made it comfortable for our children. Thank you :) |

We had a very good time in the beautiful, large and comfortable apartment. This flat has exceptional natural illumination during the day and a privileged situation in Le Marais. Renovated and well-equipped, it has a mixture of modern comfort and traditional chic. We took perfect care of it and left it immaculate. Of course, as it often occurs with ancient buildings in Paris, the wooden floors are noisy. You hear the footsteps of your neighbors from the next floor but if they are little children - as in this case- you tend to forgive them! By night, even if the apartment is located right in the heart of the city, the calm is extraordinary. |
|
|
The apartment is spacious, full of light, very clean, well-equipped. It is in a superb location - both in terms of the Marais and the particular street, where it provides a great window on the street "theatre" below. Large windows that open were a delight. Driver: your recommendation of Victor Limousines was very good. The driver sent to pick us up (at different CDG Terminals and with delays in schedule) was very professional and pleasant -- despite the frustration for him of waiting and checking between the terminals. The care and efficiency of service determined that we used the same service to take us to CDG upon our departure. |

Super easy reservation process, excellent communication and guidelines for the property, how to get there and the surrounding area. Great property in a fantastic location, kid friendly and spacious. Far better than staying in a hotel. All up a lovely time was had by our family on our first trip to Paris! Why HiP? Well laid out website with lots of information, no pressure responses to emails, easy rental process. |
|
|
Fantastic apartment in a perfect location. Although we've been to Paris often, this was our first time in the Marais and our first stay in an apartment - never again will we stay in a hotel! The Marais was a brilliant location for experiencing a Parisian way of life, there was so much to see and do within a 10 minute walk. The apartment is perfectly positioned for buses, metro, shops and restaurants. We can't wait to return. Why HiP? Found HIP through Google. Good, easy to use site and quick responses to queries. |

The Rosiers apartment is lovely. The large windows on two sides of the living room give the apartment an even more spacious appearance, and the apartment is already spacious. The beds are cozy and the floors were warm during this cold Paris spring. The bathroom set up is excellent for a space with more than one or two people. The kitchen is adequately equipped for vacationers. The location in Paris is the best on the Right Bank, with the Marais neighborhood shops and restaurants within a short walk of the apartment. I hope to make this my home away from home once again in the near future. Why HiP? Initially I was drawn to the website for Haven in Paris. It projected the images of Paris that I carry in my own memory. As if the easy navigation were not enough, the response time was quick and the staff are very thoughtful and well organized. I cannot recommend Haven in Paris highly enough! |

O apartamento é um espetáculo. Localização perfeita, equipamentos funcionando e a possibilidade de vivenciarmos Paris de uma outra maneira. Adoramos e, certamente alugaremos o Rosiers novamente. Why HiP? The apartment`s look and the best site. |

The US based staff and Wendy, in Paris, were attentive and wonderful. We truly felt as if we were living as Parisians (albeit Parisians on vacation!) for a week. One could not ask for a better location. The bedrooms and beds were extremely comfortable. A WC in the large hall bathroom would have been better, but I know that the existing layout is a common way of building in Europe. It was wonderful to have local and US phone calls included -- a huge convenience when contacting sites, restaurants, etc. with questions and reservation requests. We enjoyed the spacious feeling of the apartment and the wealth of guide books provided to us. Some VERY minor points: the kitchen bar stools slope downward; their slippery finish caused me to keep sliding off of them! More plastic, kitchen trash bags were needed. The faucet in the WC, unless turned to the lowest spray, sprays outward, wetting the sink user a bit (I believe another reviewer had commented on this). Excellent housekeeping! The apartment was very clean when we arrived. For airport transport, we used Victor (and his colleague, Mario), the driver recommended by HIP. The experience was great -- prompt service, help with our abundant luggage. Why HiP? I checked out a couple of agencies for the four of us; HIP had a right apartment at the right price. Thank you for everything. |

The apartment was very comfortable and well furnished and supplied. We enjoyed having space and not being confined to a hotel rooom. The neighborhood was very convenient and close to a metro stop. The large tub and shower were luxurious. The only negative was the little room with the toilet where the water sprayed when you washed. We had a marvelous time! |
|
|
I could not have asked for a better apartment in a better location for our needs than the Rosiers. So centrally located close to shops,good restaurants and public transport. We loved our Paris exprience in this beautifullly renovated apartment. The only downside was that there were five of us and except for the master bedrooms the beds were tiny. (Note from Haven in Paris: The bed in the 2nd bedroom is a queen) Why HiP? I did an interet search and then asked my sister-in-law who is a Paris fan what she thought and she told me that apartmetns in your website are excellent and she was right! |
|
|
i liked the fact that there were no hidden costs. no deposit that was kept because a hanger was missing or the trash was not taken out, which has been my experience with most rental places. there was loads of t.p. paper towels, towels and wash cloths. it honestly felt like i was renting from friends. i liked the honor system and the general grown-up approach in the negotiation. i also liked the fact that there were not signs all over the apartment reminding me what to do and that i was renting. it truly felt like home. people in the building were also quite nice and there was no hostility toward myself or my guests Why HiP? i found it on vrbo...i looked at hundreds of apartments. i knew i wanted to rent in le marais. my friends own friendly rentals in barcelona and i wanted the same kind of services they provide. i could tell by the design of the apartment (none of those hideous doilies and tatty curtains) that this would be more my style. |

First of all we would like to say that we loved the Rosiers apartment. It was more comfortable than pictured, and quieter then imagined. It was close to the Metro and many small Bistro's and Cafes. Haven in Paris was extremely professional in all aspects of the rental, from the personal calls, follow-ups, and information packets on the Apt., the neighborhood, and the greeter who met us at the Apt. to show us around and make us feel comfortable. Wendy, the greeter, was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the apartment and its location. She is an asset to Haven in Paris. Why HiP? We spent alot of time on line looking over companies to rent with. Several other rental companies have more apartments to rent, but they seem to care more for the owners than the renters. Also HIP has really excellent pictures of what the Apts. look like, and the apts. listed are all first class in great areas. |
|
|
A Fantastic apartment in a great location and perfect with children. The Haven in Paris Team made the trip so easy and nothing was too much trouble. |
|
|
We had a lovely holiday. Perfect weather every day! Flat - spacious and in a wonderful position, clean and well-equipped. Greeter was very helpful. The only thing that was at all negative was that the toilet was separate from the bathroom. I guess this is the French way. It was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and a lovely place to stay - quiet, comfortable beds, lots of new towels, etc. |
|
|
The apartment was wonderful, the location great... We had a wonderful stay, much of it as a result of renting this apt and having a place to call home!! I'll never stay in a hotel again!!! |
|
|
We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Paris. The apartment was so spacious and very comfortable for the four of us ladies and in a perfect location close to transportation, restaurants, shopping and within minutes of Notre Dame. Our vacation in Paris far exceeded our expectations. Thank you for being a big part of making this a huge success for us. Wendy our greeter was excellent. She is so thorough, friendly, helpful and courteous. We very much loved the welcoming gifts of a bottle of wine and beautiful red roses. Why HiP? My two good friends Laura Cohen & Linda Belanger rented another of your properties in Paris during the month of May 2009 and they made the recommendation to book with Haven in Paris. |
|
|
We had a great trip. The apartment was perfect for two couples traveling with toddlers. It is in a great location. Close enough to everything in Le Marais and centrally located to travel throughout Paris on the Metro. However, as close as it is to everything it is a very quiet and peaceful apartment. We definitely will use Haven in Paris the next time we travel to Paris. |

My friend Nancy and I loved the apartment! The Rosiers apartment was a perfect home away from home. The spacious, light-filled, open living area was a delight to come home after every day's outing. We enjoyed sitting at the floor-to-ceiling windows and observing the vibrant street scene at the intersection below--it seemed a wonderful neighborhood: lively yet relatively quiet. Great beds and luxurious, high-count sheets made sleeping a pleasure. All the other appointments--bathroom and kitchen--were wonderfully equipped. We appreciated having a washer and dryer, as well as a Mac lap top. The location couldn't have been more convenient: the St. Paul metro stop just a block away, and boulangeries close by. We would definitely stay here again and strongly recommend this property to people wanting a convenient apartment with a lively neighborhood feeling. Why HiP? We appreciated the ease of navigating the website and the detailed descriptions of properties. |
|
|
The Rosiers apartment was perfect in every way. It somehow combines elegance and a child-friendly environment Our greeter Wendy was very professional and helpful. The neighborhood had everything you could imagine for a picture-book experience in Paris. We are already thinking about our next trip that we would like to take with you! Why HiP? I usually rent through VRBO and one of the owners there referred me to your site. |
|
|
The apartment was well furnished with a modern kitchen, bath and plenty of space. We loved the included laptop, internet connection and calls to the US. The apartment was in a perfect location--on a quiet street yet close to restaurants, shops, metro and a taxi stand. Wendy, our greeter, was very helpful & patient about showing us around the apartment. She also responded promptly to a couple of e-mail questions during our stay. Why HiP? We used Haven in Paris due to the informative website, high quality apartments, included features (apartment greeter, laptop, washer & dryer), favorable apartment reviews, prompt response to initial questions and professional service during reservation process. |
|
|
Everything has been fabulous. Wendy was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome. We are so appreciative of everything the Haven team has done to make this a memorable experience for our whole family. |
|
|
The Rosiers Apartment was wonderful. We loved the location and being able to step out the door and find a great restaurant or do some shopping right in the neighborhood. Wendy was our greeter upon arriving in Paris, and she did everything possible to provide us with a warm welcome. The apartment had everything we could possibly need and we were so appreciative of the beautiful flowers and wine that was there for us as well. Why HiP? We truly appreciated the Haven staffs professionalism and friendliness. We traveled throughout Europe for the past 6 months, staying in many different countries and renting apartments. This by far was the best service we experienced during the 6 months. We would highly recommend any of the apartments that the Haven group represent. |
|
|
Our trip to Paris through HIP was wonderful. Our greeter was prompt for both our arrival and departure, and she was poised to answer all our questions. The apartment was stylish and well appointed, and its location fantastic. Our neighborhood was vibrant and eclectic, and the nearest metro only a block and a half away. My only small suggestions for improvement: add an alarm clock in the master bedroom and a radio in the main living area. Potential guests: please note that there is a toilet in the half bath, but no toilet in the bathroom with shower/tub. Why HiP? We had rented through HIP once before and been very pleased with the service. We also felt that the website represented the property and services very accurately. Thus we had no hesitation about renting through HIP a second time. |
|
|
Everything was very high standard - the location, furnishings, size for 2 couples, kitchen facility and appliances, internet and cable TV, booklets/tourist info on Paris. Greeter was outstanding - punctual, patient, informative, unintrusive, followed up 2 requests. I have already recommended your company to people in my French class and friends. |
|
|
Haven in Paris has done an amazing job of making visitors feel very much at home. We loved our apartment so much - the location was the best (and we have lived in Paris on and off for years!) and the apartment itself was clean and well cared for. We would DEFINITELY stay there again! Why HiP? Loved talking to you guys! |
|

We had an enjoyable experience in Paris partly because of nice apartment we rented from Haven in Paris (HiP). When we arrived at the apartment, we were greeted by Wendy and she gave us a detailed tour of the beautiful apartment. The apartment was well-equipped with nice plasma TV, good internet connection (including a nice MacBook), and free phone calls around the world (yay!). The location of the apartment is perfect, just one block from St. Paul metro station right in the heart of Marais and very close to all the conveniences. We have been in Paris for several times now but this was the first time we stayed in an apartment. Our experience of staying in this apartment is so much better than in hotels so for our next visit in Paris we will undoubtly contact HiP. Why HiP? we picked HiP because of the properties they offered from the web looked professional and we are very happy to say that everything they said about the apartment was better than we had expected. We had a truly enjoyable experience with HiP and will no doubt use their services again when we decide to go to Paris. |

We have visited Paris many times. This time we were looking for a home from home to enjoy the city with our young children. We loved the Rosiers apartment. It was exceptionally comfortable and in a great location, with all the comforts of home. We will book with Haven in Paris for our next visit. Why HiP? Your website provides a lot of information on the properties. My initial inquiry was answered very promptly and our reservation was dealt with in a very professional manner. |
|

Srongly recommend brighter lighting for reading near the sofa. It would be great if there were some coffee packets for the coffee press available on arrival. Duvet cover in courtyard bedroom was a bit warm; a lighter blanket would be nice. Otherwise, the apartment was very well supplied with everything, including state of art appliances, cookware and table ware of excellent quality. And, in case anyone wonders, the leather sofa was really, really comfortable and roomy! Very charming and interesting neighborhood a block from the Metro and central to just about everything. A wonderful experience! Why HiP? My traveling companion, my sister, found the web site. We liked the properties available and very helpful web site--the photos of the property we stayed in were true to life. The cost of renting an apartment gave superior value for dollar. |
|
|
We had a wonderful time in the Rosiers apartment. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped. The neighborhood so much fun, like a village in the middle of Paris. Our greeter, Wendy, is very special. She made sure everything about our trip worked out perfectly. She is truly a jewel. |
|
|
We had a wonderful week in Paris, due in no small part to the lovely apartment we stayed in. If you're looking for a beautiful Paris apartment with easy Metro access(two blocks), great walking distance to many major points of interest, in a cool neighbourhood with high end boutiques and good restaurants, and yet very quiet later at night, then rent this one! Rue Pavee has all the amentities you'll need including a full kitchen, very comforatble beds and a new bathroom, flat screen TV, internet and a laptop. Big windows flood the place with light. Wendy (our greeter) was super. Very knowledgeable, efficient and personable. She gets two thumbs up from us. We couldn't have been happier with our choice and plan to return. Don't get fooled into thinking you need to be in another neighborhood. The Marais is the best. Why HiP? Your web site was comprehensive and you communicated with us via email in English so there were no misunderstandings. The payment process was clear and followed. |
|
|
The apartment was great, as per our expectation. We really enjoy the décor, the layout and the facilities provided. We have spent a beautiful week. Wendy (our greeter) was very welcoming and punctual, she definitely met your expectation. Thanks a lot for having such professional and high standard services. |
|

The Rosiers apt. is in the perfect location: very close to the metro, shops, and many museums. It has a great kitchen, and an amazing view of the charming neighborhood. We greatly appreciated all the amenities that the apt. offered--having the computer was a huge help! Our greeter was Casey, and she was very sweet and helpful. She showed us the apt. and did not seem at all rushed, allowing us some time to digest the info and ask any questions. The service by HIP was excellent, and although we did not use the services of the local contact very much, she was immediately helpful when we needed her. It was a wonderful week in Paris! We would happily stay there again. Why HiP? Your website is excellent, contact was very, very prompt, and the whole process was thoroughly professional. I have rented through many agencies and individuals, and your service was the best. Overall, our experience with HIP was the best! |
|
|
Dealing with Haven in Paris was very easy - from the reservation process to checking in at the apartment. We arrived at the apartment and were very pleased with it. We could open the windows and look right down on the street corner. It was wonderful for the kids to experience Paris this way. The location of the apartment was perfect - the metro stop was just a block away! |
|
|
We had a delightful time in your apartment in Paris. It is very lovely and I look forward to staying in one of your apartments again next year hopefully in Italy. |
|

We had a wonderful stay in Paris. We've travelled to Paris a number of times and used various apartment rental companies. We'd have to say that Haven In Paris is by far the best. All the promises made about the apartment and service were delivered with a smile and far exceeded our expectations. The apartment and location were outstanding and it considered every convenience that you could need on a holiday. Larger than most apartments we'd previously stayed in, it made for a relaxing and wonderful stay and we'll definitely be back. Our greeter was fantastic. As we drove into Paris, our arrival time kept changing a little and she was fantastically flexible about the constantly changing time! Once we arrived she took the time to take us through everything and was more than accommodating. Thanks again for everything, will definitely be using Haven In Paris again and will recommend Haven In Paris and the apartment to all. Why HiP? The website was presented really well and the apartments looked good. It also had a good range of apartments in the area which we wanted to stay - Marais. |

Our family of five ( 3 teenagers) stayed in the Rosiers apartment for one week starting in late June 2008. Overall, we found the apartment to be comfortable and in a fabulous location for exploring Paris. I must say that we very much enjoyed this property. Having stayed in Paris on a number of occasions, and in various types of accommodation, this place really can't be beat. The kitchen was modern and well equipped and there were numerous bakeries, butchers, grocers and specialty shops for cheese, wine and the like nearby that made things very easy. It took all of about 3 minutes each morning to head down the street to get our morning pastries and baguette. The apartment was well stocked with items such as paper towels,toilet paper and other basic supplies. Despite the fact that the apartment was on the second floor (or first floor as they call it in France) it was quiet, even when the street outside may have been noisy. It was hot for a couple of the days we were there, but even with the windows shut during the day when we were out, the apartment kept cool, and when windows were open during the evening there was often a nice refreshing breeze blowing through. The location of this property was great. The Marais is an interesting, safe and comfortable area. The numerous restaurants, museums,sights and shops mean that it is easy to spend time here, and when you want to leave, the metro stop ( St Paul) is literally just steps away. As well, the apartment is an easy walk to Notre Dame, the left bank and numerous other sights. The area is certainly eclectic but that is what makes it so interesting. We received first rate service from Haven in Paris, and their team on the ground in Paris. Our greeter, young woman originally from California was friendly and took the time to explain details about the apartment--some of which no doubt got lost in the fog of jet lag and lack of sleep. Same thing at the time for departure. Certainly friendly and answered any questions we had. The travel arrangements (Elysee cars) from CDG and to the train station went without any problems. In fact we were at the apartment within an hour of landing at CDG-much quicker than we expected. We would certainly not hesitate to use Haven in Paris again for our next trip. |
