A comfortable apartment. I enjoyed convenient WiFi and ample lighting. My daughter and I loved stepping out on the small balcony to check out the weather each morning. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. I appreciate a lived-in house that doesn’t look like a hotel and has so many personal touches like books and artwork on the walls. I love the oriental carpets that give the place a sense of history and warmth. Overall we loved this apartment.

We were able to enjoy so many fabulous pastries and cafes as well as the amazing streets to just walk and enjoy. Walking distance to a grocery store, bakery and metro right on the street made this feel like a small neighborhood in a very big city.Thanks to Anne for great tips and communication.Paris is wonderful

Madame Legaré’s third floor apartment with balcony, on Rue des Volontaires is a one-minute walk to Metro station and to a bus stop that serves 3 bus lines. An artisan boulangerie is around the corner; at 5:00am Monday through Friday, the heavenly aroma of bread enters the apartment. La Poste, Pharmacie, Naturalia, Monoprix, Lenôtre, Franprix, fun restaurants, meat, fish, cheese, vegetable, fruit, and wine merchants, clothing stores, specialty stores…an ideal neighborhood. This is the fifteenth apartment in Paris that I’ve rented through VRBO, but, my first time in the vibrant 15 arrondissement. Special thanks to Madame Braik (who represented Madame Legaré during my month-stay); she was kind and thoughtful. Oh, standing on Rue des Volontaires, where you exit the Metro station, you can see La Tour Eiffel! What a treat! I wish everyone excellent health and happiness always.

Home Away from Home

I brought my teenager with me on a work/vacation trip to Paris and Anne's home was perfect for us. I wanted to avoid staying in a touristy rental and pretend like we lived in Paris. And that's exactly what we did. It was a feast for the senses. In the morning, if the bedroom was window open, I woke to sound of birdsong and the aroma of freshly baked croissant. The boulangerie downstairs was exceptional, and the metro station was directly across the street -- our gateway to the city. Montparnasse itself is a sweet neighborhood, and the apartment is walking distance to groceries, food from around the globe, boutiques, and parks. We didn't rent ebikes, but they were docked right outside the building. Wifi was great, beds comfortable, and the kitchen suitable for our needs. We also washed our clothes and in washer and they dried quickly on the drying rack. Thank you Anne!

Lovely host, but a bit like staying in Grandmas spare room

Anne is a very responsive host and I believe she cares about her customers comfort and well being.The apartment is in a great spot close to buses,Metro and local shops. It is an older style block but we had no issues with the lift. I understand that this is Annes part time home and as such she has her belongings in it but I personally found it very cluttered and felt that there was not the space for us to really "bed down " and make it comfortable for us. I felt like I was staying in my Grandmothers spare room.. a little cluttered ,dated and dusty . I believe it could do with a bit of a spruce up and a deep clean ( some things were quite grubby and a bit shoddy, a few light fittings had faulty switches and the coffee table had an unsecured glass top that had chipped edges ) I found the bed & pillows lumpy and uncomfortable and not of the quality I would expect in a rental. And thats the thing as much as it is a home it is also a rental business and as such should have certain standards of comfort, cleanliness and safety.

A True Parisian Experience!!!

Great location: Métro, busses, taxis, bikes to rent just steps away from the front door. Restaurants galore! Easy access to multiple stores: grocery, book, antique, clothing, etc. The apartment is equipped with everything once needs for a pleasant stay. Communication with Anne and with her friend Françoise made everything run as smoothly as possible. We had the opportunity to have their cleaning lady, Apsha, tidy things up for us during our 4-week stay. All in all, our experience was flawless from start to finish.

Great home, great location

What a great stay. The owner was very gracious and responsive. We have stayed in lots of sterile investment properties with little personality. This is not that! This apartment has a great, lived-in feel. We felt like we were staying at a (well-read) relative's home. It is right across the street from a clean, quiet metro station (which was amazing for us!), with any necessary shopping close by. I will add the caveat that being ok with stairs is kind of a must, mostly for the metro, but also for the temperamental elevator in the building (it probably worked 60% of the time we were there). It wasn't too big a deal getting to the third floor, but if we couldn't do stairs, it wouldn't be quite so easy. If you're looking to stay in a hotel with A/C and a view of the Eiffel Tower around a bunch of other tourists, then this is not the place for you; but if you want to be immersed in daily life in Paris, then this is a perfect spot. We loved it!

perfect location for a Paris neighborhood experience

We were across the street from one metro station, a very short walk to a bus stop and a little bit longer walk to a second metro station. The neighborhood has restaurants, a pharmacy, a grocery and the all-important macaroon shop nearby. We loved the neighborhood experience instead of being in a touristy hotel. The living/dining area (with the pull-out sofa bed) could benefit from some blinds/drapes that cover the entire windows to darken the nighttime street light. We appreciated the elevator access after walking/climbing stairs all day while sight-seeing.

Philosophers Corner

Comfortable and convenient apartment with the ambience of a centre of learning in that there are hundreds of books and the apartment is a great place to read them. (I felt like I earned a university credit just reading the titles). Small and old fashioned with the personal touch of someone's much loved home. Ideal for two - though our daughter came over from London and stayed a few nights with us on the lounge sofa bed). Nevertheless it has all you need for a convenient base to explore Paris and its artistic, historical and architectural wonders. It is a comfortable 20-25 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower and there is a Metro and bus stops too, right across the street. Shops, boulangeries etc. and restaurants are all very conveniently located nearby. Would happily stay there again and Anne and Francoise were a pleasure to deal with.

50th Anniversary

My husband and I celebrated our 50th anniversary by treating ourselves to a two months stay in Paris, my home town.Our hostess, Anne, was very responsive to any questions we may have, and she was concerned that we were comfortable and that we didn't need anything. There were some problems with the apartment, lack of room for our things, old equipment, all of which can be remedied. The bedroom bed and the bed in the dining room were very comfortable. The bedroom was very quiet, facing a bright courtyard. The other part of the apartment faced a busy street, but it wasn't a problem. There is a subway stop across the street, and various bus lines a block away. The rue Lecourbe, just a block away, has many shops, fruit and vegetable store, fish store, cheese store. On Rue Cambronne is the famous Androuet cheese store. Down the block from the apartment, there is a store that sells Berthillon ice cream, the best in France. Other high rated stores are Hermé, up the street, LeNôtre, down the block. There are more boulangeries around than days in the week. And a few supermarkets, Parisian size, all around. I didn't know the 15th arrondissement, so I was quite surprised. There are good restaurants as well, and a 20 minute walk will get you to the Montparnasse area, with its famous brasseries: La Couple; La Rotonde; Le Select...if you are into oysters. Everything worth going to in Paris is a relatively easy subway or bus ride.Overall, it was a successful trip.

It was very nice and,

I loved the apartment. I loved having access to a kitchen and a great deal of privacy. If I come back to Paris, I want to come back to this apt. Locally, there is everything you want. Beware of the Epiceries (little grocery stores), esp for selling things that are about to go bad (cheese, fruit). And, if you are not careful they take too much money. Use the Monoprix for food and stuff. But go to the Open Air Market on rue de Barque for fresh fruit, veggies, cheese, fish, and meat, and nice clothes for low prices on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Starts about 8:00am. The Boulangeries around are wonderful and so is Cale des Volontairres. There is a Boucherie (butcher) about 10 min walk. There is also a local Fromagerie near by but I didn't get to it. Definitely worth the trip. OH, and the metro is right! there!!! Line 12.

Anne was a wonderful host who was very responsive to any questions. Her apartment is in a great location, right across from the metro and near a variety of bakeries and restaurants. The apartment itself was not very tidy when we stayed—the fridge had a strong smell, and there was a lot of clutter. With that said, the location is very convenient and the building is safe and quiet.

Feel like a local

If you want to feel like you live in Paris and not just visiting, this is the spot for you. My husband and I spent 8 nights in this wonderful, authentic apartment and loved every minute! The neighborhood is not in the heavily touristed areas but has everything you need for a great Paris experience. There are markets, cafes and a metro right across the street to take you anywhere you want to go. We quickly found our favorite “local” where we enjoyed coffee and pastries every morning before heading out to see the sights. In the evenings we sat on our little balcony , drinking wine and eating fruit and cheese from the local market while watching life on the street below. There were excellent restaurants less than a block away which we enjoyed as well. The apartment itself has everything you would need to cook meals if you want as well as a great tv with Netflix and comfortable furniture to hang out in. We loved Paris and our French neighborhood! If you want to experience real Paris, this is the spot to do it!
