>We have just returned from a most enjoyable stay in the Luxembourg Apartment!

>We have just returned from a most enjoyable stay in the Luxembourg Apartment. Your instructions were easy to follow. We found the place and gained access with no problems. The apartment was clean, well-furnished, and equipped with everything we could possibley need. It was great to be so near the center of Paris with easy access to all the sights – and even a good restaurant next door!

It was not our first visit to Paris, but the first time we had stayed in an apartment rather than a hotel, and it’s an experience we would certainly be happy to repeat and recommend to family and friends. We were even blessed with glorious weather!

Best wishes,

>We had a wonderful time staying in the Cluny Suite!

>We had a wonderful time at the Cluny Suite! It is ideally located in the 5th arrondissement, within easy walking distance to both the Mouffetard student quarter and St. Germain/St. Michel/Odeon. Historic Rentals sends a Concierge Book before you travel with all sorts of useful information about the area. The apartment is quiet, spacious, and the bathroom and kitchen are totally equipped (microwave, and even a hair dryer). The firm king bed is also an unusual find for Europe. In the living room, there is cable TV, phone, internet access, and a well-stocked library of maps and guide books. We didn’t realize this, and brought our own, copies of which already there for our use, including the indispensable “Red Book,” the Plan de Paris par Arrondissement. We felt like we were at home at in the Cluny Suite, and will certainly stay there again on our next trip!

>Our experience we had at the Cluny Suite was so positive in every way!

>Our experience we had at the Cluny Suite was so positive in every way that I think the best way to recount it is to start at the beginning. First of all, the whole process of reserving the suite and working with you on it was pleasant. Your informational email was extremely useful, and receiving the key before we even left for Paris made our access to the apartment smooth, easy, and welcoming. When we arrived, we were greeted by a flowering orchid plant in the vestibule, and all essential supplies in the kitchen. Everything was clean and in order, and we we reamazed at how comfortable the quarters were. The apartment is very well-appointed and the kitchen is well-equipped. It became our home for a week, and I was surprised at how “at home” I really felt.

The location cannot be beat with the Pantheon, the Medieval Museum, Notre Dame, and the Luxembourg Gardens all within easy walking distance as also the metro and RER stations. We lived and breathed Paris as much like the natives as it is possible to do as visitors. We went to the Farmer’s Market that meets on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and is within a few blocks of the apartment. Another find was a frozen foods store (Picard) right around the corner from Rue D’Ecole Polytechnique where we got excellent meals to go with our breads, cheeses, fruits, and olives that we had picked up at the Farmer’s Market.

The apartment’s prime location made visits to all the obligatory tourist sites very handy. It also allowed us to take many walks along the Seine late in the evening after a busy day of taking in the sights. The whole experience now seems like a dream, and much of our pleasure had to do with our comfortable and unique “home” in Paris. I was so happy with our experience that I have been mentioning it to all my colleagues and friends to whom I have highly recommended your place. I know that if and when I ever go to Paris again, you will hear from me.
