Great Paris Rentals: Short-term, fully-furnished apartment rentals in the heart of Paris

ABOUT US

These Paris apartments are owned by four families who live in California, USA, Queensland, Australia, and Dublin, Ireland -- the Browns, Delanghes, Bishops and Pennwills. We are of British/ Australian/ French / American / Irish origins.

One of our daughters was living and working in Paris for a year, and during this period we decided it would be wonderful to own an apartment in this beautiful city, and not to have to stay in small cramped hotel rooms. Being able to bring home the wonderful produce, cheeses, and meat etc. available in the markets makes a Paris stay much more enjoyable, not to mention less costly. Being able to have breakfast in our own apartment without dressing to go out for an expensive coffee and croissant has been wonderful as well.

We like to entertain, and we also appreciate being able to cook and welcome friends to our temporary home.

We found the first apartment in a small 17th century Building on rue Git le Coeur in the 6th arrondisement in February 2000, and we were immediately able to rent it using the Internet. In the process we have met many wonderful people, some of whom have now returned to stay in our apartment several times.

The second apartment, on rue Saint Louis en L'Ile is in a small 18th Century building. We bought it in 2003, remodeled it, and started renting it out in June. We painted it, added some modern appliances, and added hardwood floors - parquet as the French say - everywhere except for the bathrooms and kitchen.

The third apartment, also on rue Saint Louis en L'ile is in another 18th Century building. We found it by looking out the window of our 2nd apartment! The "a vendre" sign was hanging on the building next door. This apartment was purchased in 2004 and opened to guests in early 2005.

The fourth apartment is in the Marais. It was purchased in 2007 and remodeled the same year. The rue Charlemagne neighborhood is quite special, in the heart of the Marais and on the safe, peaceful side of Rue Rivoli.

The fifth apartment is also on Ile Saint Louis in an 18th Century building, on rue des Deux Ponts. The entire building was remodeled in 2005. We added this apartment to our site in 2009 and it is just as special as the others.

We hope you will enjoy staying in our Paris apartments as much as we do.
