>Many thanks for a wonderful holiday.

We have recently returned from a week at the Annecy apartment apartment. We have been to many apartments in Europe and this has to be rated as the best to date. The location could not be beaten. We choose to self cater all the time, and every shop imaginable was right on the doorstep: patisserie, delicatessen, butchers, fishmonger, bread shops, etc. The fantastic street market is held on Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday morning, and is just two minutes around the corner. For other groceries there are two Monoprix close by.
The apartment was so homely and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The view of the little river, chateau, roofs of the old town, and mountains was simply wonderful. The apartment is very light and so quiet. We didn’t hear a thing from anybody else all week.
We hired bikes and cycled round the lake which was glorious. Of course, we went on the lake and also had a couple of days out to Geneva and Aix les Bains, but were pleased to get back to Annecy on both occasions. Annecy is a very special place and this apartment is also very special.

>Delightful neighborhood, comfortable apartment

>When we couldn’t find anything we could afford in the 4th adn 5th arrondissements, we checked out the 14th and discovered the relatively peaceful neighborhood by the Pernety Metro stop.

Even though you sense a calm atmosphere when you emerge from the Metro, the neighborhood has dozens of cafes, inexpensive restaurants, take-out traitteurs, fromageries, boulangeries, boucheries, etc. The charm of old Paris in this neighborhood outweighs the occasional modern building mixed in. The apartment is small, but its high ceilings and tall windows give it a light and airy feeling. The photos on the website do not do justice to the apartment’s overall attractiveness. Someone has carefully thought about what a temporary resident might need and provided amenities like flashlights, sewing kit, extra towels, electric adapters, and shopping bags for the nearby supermarket. A laundromat is next door. The owner provides detailed written instructions and suggestions which are very helpful. The apartment looks over a courtyard with beautiful trees and is absolutely quiet. Unfortunately, you can hear the neighbors next door through the walls, but we mitigated this by closing the bathroom door, and since these elderly neighbors keep very reasonable hours they never bothered our sleep. Historic Rentals, which manages the apartment, did everything right and in an organized fashion. Madame Gelacio, the English-speaking housekeeper, came right over when we had to call her about a (self-inflicted) problem. All in all, we highly recommend this apartment and its neighborhood.

>We stayed in the converted Slave Quarter Suite February 4 – 7, 2010 and enjoyed it very much. It is very cozy and convenient. Winston was incredibly patient with our arrival issues. He even checked in on us the next day to see if he could help with getting our lost baggage. We would recommend staying here to our friends, as well as look into it again for our next visit.
