Perfect Location
by Angela Johnson
On a quiet street but central to all of Paris! Apartment was extremely clean and well appointed. Building is very quiet, seldom heard neighbors. Windows facing both the street and inner courtyard. Markets, boulangeries and cafes surround the apartment and you are just across the street from the Seine.

A Wonderful Stay
by Charlie Lang
Alicante was all we hoped it would be. Close to the Metro, markets, boulangeries, and a bustling neighborhood. Arrangements for an early morning arrival worked out perfectly for us with the Paris Perfect staff watching our luggage while we explored the Rue Cler shops and restaurants. Apartment was stocked with everything we needed and Natalie our greeter provided a solid description of all the important items and tasks. One week was not enough for us. We'll be back!

Live like a Parisian
by Donna miller
The Alicante apartment allows you to live as a local might. Its stellar location on a surprisingly quiet street mere feet from the Seine and views of Notre Dame, it's accessibility to a fromagerie, a boulangerie, a poissonerie, a wine shop, and a green grocer, and its equipped kitchen and living space make it easy to be Parisian. We have been to Paris uncountable times (we have lived in the 16th) and frankly no longer have any need for a posh hotel room or for anyone or anything to be a buffer between us and the city we love. This apartment was perfect as a result, and we enjoyed our 11 days immensely.

Fantastic Apartment in central Paris
by Michael Bartel
Had a great stay. Location is sweet. Right off the river, in the Latin Quarter. Loved it. Well outfitted, quiet area, perfect for the 3 of us that stayed for the week.
Spectacular
by The Guvner
Absolutely perfectly appointed for a restful and relaxing escape in Paris. Memories made, moments shared and the presence of being Parisians for a month upheld. Highly recommended for location to all things necessary for a magnificent experience. The Paris Perfect team were superb.

Our apartment was perfect for our visit. The location was conveniently located a block from Notre Dame, excellent markets, and bistros. Wine, cheese, tea, juice and snacks had been graciously placed in our refrigerator for our arrival. Questions not covered in the comprehensive information emailed to us were answered either in person by our greeter or with a quick telephone call. And, I have been sharing with friends decorating ideas gleaned from staying in such a cleverly designed abode. Our expectations were surpassed, and we have already recommended Paris Perfect to friends.

Alicante was a great apartment for my husband and me. I was there for over two weeks, and my husband joined me for the second half. The location was convenient to restaurants, the Maubert Market, metro, and more. The apartment was well appointed and comfortable. Danielle, our assigned manager from Paris Perfect, was attentive and checked in on us regularly. She was fantastic, in fact. We were also fortunate to meet the owner who offered several restaurant suggestions and other Paris tips.
The apartment was surprisingly noisy. Although the street is small, there is a lot of street and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, the restaurant next door kept a door open onto the courtyard, and we could hear dishes being washed in the evening. That said, two things to note: (1) we were there in May and June and often had the windows open. (2) the apartment is near Notre Dame and the Seine, an area heavily visited by tourists. One shouldn't be surprised to hear the sounds of a lively city. In the end, I decided this added to the experience. I simply wasn't prepared for this.
I am dreaming of my next trip to Paris - and that dream includes staying in Alicante.

We loved our Paris apartment! Our location was perfect, a block from the Seine and Notre Dame but on a quiet, narrow street where the noise was minimal. The apartment was charming and ideally set up, with wood beams, a very comfortable bedroom, and a thoroughly modern bathroom. Paris Perfect (and Danielle) met all of our needs and were quick to respond if we had any issues. We were close to everything we needed (the Marais was just on the other side of the Seine) and a couple of blocks away from a fantastic 3-day-a-week market, where we bought beautiful vegetables, fruit, and jaunty hats and scarves. Could not have been happier with the entire set-up, including the connection to Victor, for a great airport pickup and drop-off.

Alicante truly was perfect! It was quaint and full of Paris atmosphere and history. The old beams gave you a sense of the time that the building was built. The decor was tasteful and comfortable. I loved opening the windows to hear the bells of Notre Dame so close! The bedding and towels were luxurious. The kitchen had all we needed including coffee, milk, juice, wine, cookies, and crackers! Awesome!
The location was excellent, near sites and metro stops! We hope to rent this apartment again. Brigitte was very thorough and kind when she met us and showed us around.
We loved the WiFi hotspot that we rented through PP. We had WiFi all over Paris!
There were lots of restaurants close by and it was an easy walk to St. Germaine for shopping and more restaurants!! There was a problem with the TV and the owner came right over to fix it! We actually enjoyed staying in, in the mornings for a while enjoying time in the apartment because it was so lovely. Can't wait to come back!!

Alicante was a lovely apartment in a wonderful location that suited our needs perfectly - a mother/daughter return to Paris to celebrate the daughter's graduation from college. It was cozy, charming, and very well-equipped. We had a few minor issues on the 2nd day of our visit that were addressed immediately by Paris Perfect and the owner, which was greatly appreciated. The only disappointment was that the apartment description that we saw on the website claimed that the apartment had air conditioning, but we learned upon arrival that it was not yet installed. We were given portable fans which helped keep the air moving, but it was not the same as true air conditioning.

We stayed 6 nights and loved it. The location is great. The neighbors were so friendly. The staff extremely attentive and quick to respond when we had questions. The apartment was very clean and very well stocked for all of our needs. Renting is the way to go. With a washer and fryer and kitchen you are set. The extra services that they help you with were also helpful including a taxi ride from airport ( not free, but worth it).
We would rent again and would definitely use Paris Perfect. Thank you for making our trip enjoyable and stress free!

We very much enjoyed our stay in this charming apartment and were most impressed by all of the staff we encountered through Paris Perfect. The suggested taxi service was terrific and our greeter was on time and thorough. When we encountered very minor issues such as not being able to reboot the tv or figure out how to operate the stovetop, an email to Daniele was all it took to receive an immediate response by phone or email to walk us through the necessary steps. When we couldn't find the right lightbulb to replace a burned out one she promptly bought the correct type and dropped them off. These are the details that really add up when one is on vacation and time is at a premium.
The apartment was well maintained and stocked with necessities. Appliances were in excellent condition and instructions were clear. Beds were comfortable and the linens were freshly cleaned and pressed. I'd also like to mention that the young woman who cleaned the apartment during our stay did a fantastic job and we very much appreciated her attention to detail and obvious pride in her work.
All in all we would not hesitate to recommend Paris Perfect based on our experience this year and we plan to use their services again in the future.

We stayed 5 nights in the Alicante on the left bank, Latin Quarter and loved it! The neighborhood is charming and comfortable with everything one needs within walking distance. Paris Perfect staff welcomed us in the early morning of our arrival. We had actually paid for the night before our arrival to assure a comfortable transition after a long overnight flight. The apartment is delightful and practically appointed. There is a window overlooking the small courtyard and one facing the street. The small kitchen also has a window facing the street where a table and two chairs have been set. There is something wonderful about having your own place in Paris and to have a support staff in Paris Perfect ready and willing to enhance the experience through efficient, competent and relational help. My wife and I love being in Paris and would definitely return to the Alicante.

We really enjoyed our stay in Alicante. The apartment is as pictured; it was very well appointed and clean. It is also in a great, central location, just a few minutes walk to Notre Dame. We really appreciated the provisions that were available in the apartment upon our arrival. Also loved the Nespresso coffee maker! We have stayed in several apartments offered by different providers, and have to say the apartments offered by Paris Perfect (and Italy Perfect) are above the others in terms of quality, service and provisions in the bath and kitchens. Lastly, the staff at Paris Perfect were very timely and helpful in their responses to our emails and phone calls. We will use Paris Perfect for every visit to Paris in the future.

Alicante is a lovely apartment located perfectly to explore Paris. It has a local market and Metro stop just two blocks away. There are dozens of local restaurant choices within walking distance. The apartment itself is comfortable and well equipped. The layout allows people to have a bit of privacy after spending the day out. It is on the first floor which makes access easy. The kitchen is fully outfitted. We enjoyed eating the food we picked up at the market in our own space. The bathroom is large and has a full tub and shower. I would definitely stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful 10 days in Paris in May/June - definitely enhanced by having a "home away from home" with everything that we needed, and in a location that made walking everywhere very practical. It was amazing to hear the bells of Notre Dame multiple times each day, to have such great restaurants and food shopping options so close to us, and to "live like a lock" buying fresh baguettes each day. Paris Perfect were very easy to deal with in terms of booking the apartment, a tour, restaurants etc, and would not hesitate to use them again if we are ever lucky enough to get back to Paris. A special thanks to Nicola (who did most of our bookings) and Daniele (our greeter) for happily accommodating our last-minute changes when we were caught in London and late arriving.

Our second perfect stay in this lovely apartment. The location is wonderful---steps from outstanding restaurants, boulangeries, etc., but on a quiet and charming little side street.

Everything about our five-night stay at the Alicante was perfect. The location is convenient to restaurants, the metro, shopping, and a very nice street market. Being so close to the islands was an added bonus. The apartment is so charming, and equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. A special thanks to our greeter, Daniele, who provided a complete orientation upon check-in, and additional assistance when we had trouble with the wifi and cable system.

From start to finish, my experience with Paris Perfect was truly perfect! The staff was always quick to reply to emails, incredibly helpful, and went out of their way to make sure our stay was wonderful. The Alicante apartment couldn't be at a better location if Notre Dame is your favorite. While right next to ND, it was still on a quiet street. The apartment itself is beautifully furnished and had the most comfortable bed I've slept in at a rental unit! The owner went above and beyond in leaving sweet treats for us due to a minor repair that was going on in the apartment (one that we honestly wouldn't have even cared about). The staff was great about getting us nestled into our new home for the week, and helped arrange transport out, as well as mailing back our travel Wi-fi (which I HIGHLY recommend getting) for us. Can't say a bad word about the trip - it was perfect! Big thanks to the PP staff!

Alicante was truly Paris perfect! We felt very much at home---the apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had all of the amenities. The street is very quiet, the neighbors were friendly, and we were just a two minute walk away from food shops on St. Germain where we bought our daily fresh bread, cheese, and other treats. It couldn't have been better. Thanks to the Paris Perfect staff, and to Victor (their recommended driver) for a wonderful experience.

Wonderful location, a dream! Right across from Notre Dame so you start your day in the heart of things. Great neighborhood for food shopping, restaurants and the apartment is spacious for two people with the important pull-out in the living room if someone starts to snore. Nice shallow tub that was a lifesaver after 8 miles of sight-seeing a day! We loved the American style shower too. Comfortable bed. Just wish it had an ipod docking station or some music device. Be warned the walls are thin so neighbors can be heard quite clearly, but we were so happily tired it did not bother us at all!

This well placed little apartment is perfect for two with a little knowledge of Paris. The apartment is close to Notre Dame, Metro, fromagerie, Boulangerie and marche and walking distance from St Germain de Pres and the grand Boulevard.
The apartment is well appointed although the spaces are a little tight and it is sparsely lit and could do with some ceiling lighting especially for people like my husband and I who are both tall.
Access to the apartment was easy but our introduction was extremely brief and not particularly welcoming unlike other's whose reviews I had read before booking. We had a very comfortable stay at Alicante and will definitely use Paris Perfect again.

Our stay in Paris was indeed perfect! We stayed in the Alicante apartment which was in an ideal location for all of our activities. We walked almost everywhere, but when we needed to take the Metro or train the station was close by. The neighborhood is filled with wonderful bistros and restaurants and a very nice market and small grocers, boulangerie, and other shops just a block away. The apartment was very quiet, tastefully decorated, just the right size for two and had all the amenities of home. Paul greeted us at the door, showed us how everything worked, and was available by phone if we needed anything. Fortunately, we didn't. We will definitely book with Paris Perfect if we are lucky enough to return to Paris!

This was my third stay with ParisPerfect over the last decade, and it was the best yet. The location was superb, on a tiny street dating back to the 12th century. Turn one way and you're at the river, looking at Notre Dame. Turn the other way and you're at the market square, with its world-class cheese shop and bakery.
The apartment itself was charming, with its garden views and original beamed ceilings. It was also satisfyingly modern, with everything my husband and I needed: a firm mattress, relatively spacious kitchen, spiffy bathroom with plenty of instantly hot water.
Our initial difficulty in accessing the apartment courtyard (on the printed instructions, our aging eyes translated a B as an 8) led us to meet a delightful young woman who lives and works down the street -- she helped us get in and during our stay introduced us to the unofficial "mayor" of the street. Her friendship became one of our indelible memories of the trip. And, as always, the ParisPerfect staff was there to help.
We look forward to our next trip to Paris with ParisPerfect!

My wife and had a very good week at the Alicante. Greeted by Paul who was so helpful in introducing us to the apartment and the area of the City in which it is located. The apartment is in a 17th century building and it has been totally renovated and updated. It is charming and very functional. The apartment is in the 5th Arrondissement commonly referred to as the Latin Quarter. The apartment was located one half a block away from the Seine, right near the point that Ile de Cite meets Ile Saint-Louis. The other end of our very short street, Maitre Albert, is Place Maubert which is on Boulevard St. Germain and which has a range of food purveyors as well as a three time a week market. We experienced some wonderful meals in nearby restaurants recommended by Paris Perfect. All in all, a wonderful stay.

Very convenient location with many restaurants closely. Only a 5 minute walk to metro stop Maubert. We waited about 5 minutes for Paul the greeter. He quickly breezed through the apartment rules and familiarization. There were 3 sharing the apartment. Found it spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed our complimentary wine and snacks.
Complaints....for me, it was the sofa bed mattress.....a little too thin for more than a few nights stay. My back was beginning to get sore after a week.
The shower drained seemed a bit plugged as water drained rather slow.

It was great to be able to have a few meals in the apartment, particularly when travelling with our 11 year old daughter. Our greeter Paul, was wonderful. He made us feel at home straight away by stocking the fridge and pantry with a few essentials. It was reassuring to know he was able to be contacted if we had any problems. We would definitely recommend Alicante to anyone who wants to stay in a true Parisian apartment.

Our first overseas holiday in 40 years and what a perfect stay in the most beautiful city in the world, Paris. Just so incredibly a wonderful people and place. There was so much to love about Paris. Amazing history and monuments. Breathtaking views from the Eiffel and from atop the Arc De Triomphe and how do you describe the everywhere cafe's and restaurants that served up equally irrestable breakfast, lunch and dinner. We could not believe how friendly and helpful and even funny Parisenes were given our limited French that was so often appreciated and commended. The Taxi rides are truly something to remember as they were more of an adventure than a trip. Well we could talk about the shopping too and macaroons as well!
Te Alicante apartment was just exquisite and in the midst of everything. It was secure and charming and provided everything we could possibly desire.
Just no doubt that this was an experience of a lifetime to be repeated. Loved Paris. We will return!

this apartment was absolutely perfect!
We stayed here in February at the last minute and had a wonderful, memorable stay. The weather was incredible- sunny, clear, and mild- the end of the week it began to snow, which was fun too! Looking out the window to snow flakes was picturesque from the windows of this utterly charming apartment.
I have visited Paris several times, and have stayed at the legendary as well as other charming hotels. ( Ritz, Athenee, Meurice, Christine).
This experience was right up there, if not better. By day 6, I wanted to cry as I felt I had not taken advantage of the wonderful little location of Rue Maitre Albert. So much to see and visit!
Sleeping here you could hear a pin drop! so quiet! Not kidding.
One of the nicest things to do was head out in the morning, walk up the little alley of the street, and in a minute you are in the midst of a wonderful authentic open air market. I bought a scarf that I am living in- cashmere animal print 40 euro? Loved every minute can not wait to go back. Perfect Paris perfect experience. I am a new huge fan! Patty

We just returned from our trip Saturday 2nd February - We followed our stay at the Alicante with a stay at the Beaumes de Venise last week.
We really liked the Alicante and glad we tried a different location than the 7th. The apartment was very freshly done, well appointed and cozy. The decor was more tailored than other Paris Perfect apartments, and to my eye quite wonderful. Our greeter, Paul, was wonderful and helpful. The street was adorable, felt ancient, convenient to the Latin Quarter, bus transport, many sites and a wonderful market. The restaurant next door, Atelier Maitre Albert, was excellent and one of the best meals we had during our two week stay.
I will say the kitchen stayed a bit cold (we arrived during the snow storm) and could use a rug or portable heater. And it seemed as though the left hand and right hand of the Paris Perfect team weren't not aware of our back to back rentals and logistical issues. Paul was extremely helpful to help us though the transition of one apartment to another with the arrival of our friends at 6:30 am the second week.
The Alicante is a great location for someone interested in old Paris yet very convenient to get anywhere really, even the Marais.
We loved our stay there.

A great apartment on a wonderfully quiet street considering how close you are to the major tourist area near Notre Dame. The kitchen is well equipped for anyone who wants to cook and for coffee fans, the Nespresso machine is most welcome! The efforts of the ParisPerfect team to accomodate our Christmas Day arrival was beyond-the-call of duty and we really appreciated it.
We'll be back as ParisPerfect "pretend Paris residents!"
