About
This Space


This luxury artist loft, located in the trendy Montorgueil neighborhood 5 minutes from the Palais Royal gardens and Place des Victoires, is the ideal apartment to rent for a unique short-term Paris vacation rental experience.

Hip and spacious, this 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom loft with private balcony has been renovated by the American owner with class, style & comfort. The flat is in a beautiful Parisian building with an elevator that will take you right up to the apartment, which is located on the 2nd floor French (3rd floor US). Your boutique rental in Paris is in the middle of a funky, arty neighborhood full of designers, textiles & prêt-a-porter. Original artwork and photography adorn the white walls of this modern Parisian loft.

The apartment is ideally situated just a short walk from the pedestrian street rue Montorgueil with its famous food & produce market. Rue Montorgueil & the surrounding neighborhood were recently written about in the book “Almost French” by Australian author Sarah Turnbull, as it transitions into a new trendy "quartier" of Paris. The neighborhood retains its quaint village feel yet is in the heart of central Paris. On the rue Montorgueil you will find bakeries, fromageries, fresh fruit & produce, pâtisseries, many French & ethnic restaurants, and bistros and designer shops.

Your Paris rental apartment is close to the Louvre, the Palais Royal gardens, the old Opera house and its ceiling painted by Chagall, “La Bourse” (the French stock market), Place Vendôme, Rue St. Honoré, Tuilerie Gardens, the Seine and all of the tourist attractions of Paris.

If you want to rent an apartment in Paris, this is the perfect home base for your vacation in Paris, providing the luxury of a 4 star boutique hotel with all of the amenities and space of home at comparatively reasonable prices.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a washer, dryer, oven, microwave, 4 burners, and coffee maker and everything you will need to cook and entertain. The dining table will seat up to 10 comfortably.

Meals out on your private balcony, while weather permits, will be a treat to look forward to after shopping at the marché Montorgueil for French food, wine and produce.

The master bedroom has a king sized bed, and the guest bedroom a double bed. The marble bathroom has a bathtub, with wall-mounted hand-held shower. The apartment has two toilets.

As the apartment is equipped with high speed Internet (Ethernet cable & wireless network) and office space (in the 2nd bedroom), it is also ideal for the executive traveler tired of the typical Paris hotel experience and looking for a corporate or business apartment rental. RER line A, which you can catch easily at Auber via the metro line 3 to Opéra (about a 10 minute trip from the flat), will take you directly to La Défense, one of Paris' business hubs.

Room by room, your luxury Paris vacation rental includes...

Living Room and Dining Area:
• Private balcony
• Dining table to accommodate up to ten guests
• Cable television
• Hardwood floors
• Radio
• Sofa and armchairs

Kitchen:
• Fully equipped kitchen with stove, oven, cooking utensils, dishes, dishwasher, freezer, refrigerator, coffeemaker, microwave, and everything you might need to cook at home like a true Parisian

Bedrooms:
• Master bedroom with king-size bed
• Second bedroom with double bed that can also be used as an office
• High quality fresh linens for your comfort
• A crib is also available upon request; please supply your own crib linens
• Double air mattress upon request

Bathrooms:
• Bathroom with marble bathtub, wall-mounted shower, sink and toilet
• Separate half bath with toilet and sink
• Plenty of fluffy towels for your comfort

This short-term accommodation is a haven of tranquility to come home to after a day of touring, working or exploring in Paris. Overlooking a quiet courtyard, the loft is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of central Paris, but only steps away from everything, making it the ideal alternative to a luxury hotel in Paris.

In Paris, there will always be a fluent English and French speaker on hand to offer advice and help organize luxury concierge services as desired.

Sophisticated travelers looking for a unique Paris vacation will find this apartment a wonderful choice of accommodations for their time in Paris.

About
The Area


Rue Montorgueil is the oldest market street in Paris. Today, the pedestrian road is still home to several of the city’s oldest stores as well as a crop of newly opened boutiques, creating an exciting mix of nostalgic and contemporary. At all hours of the day, locals fill the numerous sunny terraces and run their daily errands, stopping to chat with friendly shop owners. Strohrer is Paris’ oldest pastry shop (with some of the best éclairs in the city) and across the street you’ll find Paris’ oldest chocolate and candy shop, A la Mère de Famille. Au Rocher de Cancale is another historic address, serving fresh oysters hauled in from the Brittany coast. If you can’t snag a reservation at Gregory Marchand’s Michelin-starred Frenchie, try the nearby Frenchie Bar à Vins or famed Frenchie To Go on the narrow and charming rue du Nil, just uphill of rue Montorgueil. The neighborhood is any chef’s paradise, with stores like G. Detou, E. Dehillerin, and MORA, which sell various hard-to-find cooking ingredients and equipment. For nightlife, rue St-Saveur, a tiny cobblestone alley off of rue Montorgueil, is lined with some of the city’s trendiest cocktail bars. Staying in this area puts you a stone’s throw from Les Halles shopping center and its weekday farmer’s market, the Église St-Eustache, Palais Royal, the Louvre, the Pompidou center, and the Marais.

Reviews

Steve W November, 2012 Seattle/WA/USA

We loved our apartment, it made the trip so much more enjoyable as compared to staying in a hotel! Being close to the markets and being able to cook some of our own meals really made if feel like you were a resident rather than a tourist in a remarkable city.

Bob and Louise Redmond October, 2012 San Francisco, California, USA

We only have one area of concern and it relates to the overhead lights in the lobby area. We were leaving the apartment at 7:00 am. Prior to leaving Bob took down the garbage and entered the lobby area and found it very difficult to see. He was able to eventually find the light switch and left the lights on while he returned to the apartment to get our luggage. We know we disturbed the occupant on the ground floor level but we feel there was no choice. It would be nice to receive instructions on operating the corridor and lobby lights or advice to carry a small flashlight to help navigate the area. Another solution would be to install a sensor to turn the lights on and a timer to shut them off. Other than this issue, we found our stay to be very enjoyable. Laurence was very helpful arranging transportation to the airport with David. Of course, David was excellent. Our trip to CDG took twenty-five minutes. Thanks again to Haven In Paris. Note from Haven in Paris: Many of the lights in the common areas of Parisian buildings are on timers, we will make sure to have the greeter show all clients where the switch is so this does not happen again.

Sophie D. & Tiana S. September, 2012 Sydney, Australia

Un bel appartement dans un quartier vivant et interessant! Ca nous a permis de passer une semaine extraordinaire a Paris et nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.Tiana and I can echo the comments everyone has made, the flat is just perfect and we felt so lucky to have had such a great space to enjoy Paris. "Haven in paris" is a very professional agency and we would happily rent through them again.

Patrick L. September, 2012 Australia

We loved the apartment and Laurence was great. If you could only have done better with the weather, our stay would have been perfect! Many thanks, Patrick

Teresa Knipper August, 2012 Princeton NJ

Our too short stay at this beautiful, clean and well appointed property far exceeded expectations. We would definitely return!! The kitchen was well equiped and the location was perfectly situated. We walked everywhere!

Maclaren Family July, 2012 Turks & Caicos Islands

We just enjoyed a terrific stay for 7 nights at the Montorgueil Market property. The apartment was very comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. The building is lovely and quiet, exuding French charm. Living areas of the apartment are very spacious and decorated with various impressive artwork by the owner. It was very clean and well stocked with soaps, toilet paper, washing powders etc. All our dealings with Haven in Paris were professional and efficient, including our greeter Laurence.

Adri Swiegers July, 2012 Sydney, Australia

We have used HIP before and have stayed in Montorgueil before. We love the unit, it is in a great location close to the Metro and nice restaurants. The unit itself is spacious and quiet. We love the interior design. We will definitely return as soon as we can.

The Carlsons July, 2012 West Hartford, CT, USA

Thank you for a wonderful 10 days. The apartment was fantastic and the location was very convenient! My husband and my two boys (13 & 16) enjoyed our stay immensely. We loved Cafe du Centre on Montorgueil. Thank you again!!

Edward, Kim & Phoebe L. June, 2012 Dondingalong, Australia

Two wonderful weeks in Paris! Perfect address for our adventures around this beautiful city. Look forward to our return.

The Mullers June, 2012 Blackmans Bay, Tasmania, Australia

Thank you so much, we loved everything! It was all amazing, most amazing holiday.

Julie Letts November, 2011 Sydney Australia

Haven in Paris stood out in having a diverse suite of high quality apartments for rental. The staff were responsive and thorough when making on-line bookings. The Montorgueil Market apartment in Montorgeuil was a perfect choice for us: close to the centre of Paris, huge and beautifully appointed, and in an area I'd not explored before in the 'ragtrade' district and close to bistros and specialist food retailers. Can't wait to come back.

Leslie B. October, 2011 New Jersey, U.S.A.

My mother and I stayed in the Montorgueil Market Apartment from October 6 through 13. Laurence was our greeter. Let me congratulate you on providing such excellent service! This was our sixth time to Paris together and it will rank as one of our most enjoyable. After staying in hotels for so many visits and making due with a mini-bar instead of a fridge, it was a pleasure to have a full sized refrigerator/freezer at out disposal.Shopping the open air markets was more fun than our museum visits. I love to cook and cooking with the farm fresh (French!) ingredients was also quite an experience. The kitchen was stocked with oils, spices, teas, utensils; simply perfect. The apartment was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. We loved all the coffee table sized books about art and fashion. The duvets on the beds were luscious. Also, having a washer/dryer in the apartment was a convenience we truly appreciated. Laurence, our greeter, was awesome. We arrived early and she shifted her schedule to accommodate us and get us into the apartment as quickly as possible. We were very grateful. As Americans we are used to Indian summers with warm Octobers. It was cool in the apartment and Laurence worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort by buying a small, hard-working heater for the apartment. We were never chilly again. The apartment was spotless when we returned after the maid had cleaned. This experience has quite spoiled us. Now when we stay in hotels, even when we have a large suite, we have to swallow our disappointment at its small size and lack of adequate (comfortable) seating, etc. compared to the Montorgueil Market. We look forward to staying there again next year.

Mark Harris September, 2011 Australia

From the moment I made an online inquiry through HIP I knew we were on to a good thing. HIP staff were professional and prompt on every inquiry I made and made the booking process so easy. The Montorgueil Market property was amazing - we could not want for more - so spacious which was important when traveling with kids and the location ideal - we could walk anywhere but also the metro station was just down the road. Laurence was so friendly but also professional and made it clear that she would do whatever she could to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

Joe C. September, 2011 AZ/USA

We had a great time as we did last year. Must stay even longer next time. Laurence was awesome as always, as was Dehlia.

Debra September, 2011 San Francisco

We've rented other apartment in Paris from other rental agencies and Haven in Paris far exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. They are a full service agency offering information that made our trip easy to plan and navigate. Our greeter Laurence was wonderful and very responsive. The quality of the apartment was fantastic, spacious and well equipped. Would definitely consider staying there again or recommending to our friends.

Jacqueline H. August, 2011 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We had a lovely stay at the apartment. Everything was arranged very well. We will definitely be using your services the next time we're in Paris.

Daryl Allen July, 2011 Edmonton Alberta Canada

We were very happy with the entire rental experience with Haven in Paris. As for the apartment itself - we found the location to be perfect. We enjoyed being close to Rue Montorgueil. We found the apartment to be very comfortable and clean. The terrace is a nice bonus. We hope to go back to Paris and rent again as we unfortunately had to cut our vacation short.

Tereza Burki July, 2011 Cannes, France

Great stay, property was up to standards and beyond, would come back, definitely,thank you

Paul & Sharon R. June, 2011 Milford, Auckland NZ

Gorgeous, spacious apartment. Tastefully decorated and our own art gallery to enjoy every day! Laurence was a very efficient and gracious greeter host - thank you! The booking was so easy and frustration free. The metro station is so convenient!

Graham M. May, 2011 Bedfordale, Australia

This is a stunning apartment in a very different part of Paris than we have ever stayed in before. Initially the area seemed a bit daunting, even threatening, but much better when we discovered the terrific nearby pedestrian mall leading down to the Les Halles area. The greeter was very helpful and accommodating, as was the concierge. As a fellow artist, we have enjoyed this lovely apartment. Hopefully we'll be back one day!

Lori & Skylar Harvey April, 2011 Boston, MA

My daughter & I just returned from 10 days at the Montorgueil Market apartment. It is exactly as pictured on the site, except that each of the bedrooms has wonderful, full-length french doors that open onto the courtyard, as the others do. So every room (excepts w/c's) are bathed in light, and the view of the other french doors all around the courtyard is lovely. The building is silent 24/7, which is very unusual for a Paris apartment building. We never - not even once - heard neighbors above, below, or on either side. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that no one lives in any of the adjoining apartments: that's what I mean by silent! The beds & linens were absolutely top-drawer. After a long day of wandering, it was heavenly to fall into a bed of perfectly *pressed* linens and lovely down pillows. In addition, the towels were enormous & thick, and it's always nice to have a heated towel bar. The kitchen had everything we needed - Krups coffee maker was wonderful & perfectly clean & fresh. (Such a drag to use a coffee maker that smells like Maxwell House...) Location is perfect - one block from Metro, two blocks from Rue Montorgueil, 25 minute walk to Rue St-Honore. I could go on & on. Suffice it to say that I cannot recommend HiP highly enough & I'm sure we'll rent from them again soon.

Adri Swiegers February, 2011 Sydney, Australia

From the moment I made contact with HIP i was impressed, as I immediately got info I needed and could make informed decisions. Laurence was our greeter and she was fabulous. On time, very pleasant and full of information. The apartment was very clean, with fresh flowers and coffee, milk, working computer, nice and warm and pleasant. We had a wonderful time thanks, and just loved the apartment, will definitely be back as soon as we can!

Andrew & Lesley Anne January, 2011 Brisbane, Australia

What a wonderful two weeks. Like all before us, we fell in love with Paris. This apartment was the perfect place from which to explore. We loved walking all over the city, metro was close and easy to use, shopping great, food wonderful, wine plentiful and romance abundant. We loved coming home at the end of each day - whether it was quiet nights in or late nights out. We look forward with pleasure to our next visit.

Lourdes G. January, 2011 Mexico City, Mexico

We really enjoyed your beautiful apartment, every single detail, your Indian art, the compositions, books, CD's, etc, but most of all, the incredible location in this wonderful city!

Castillo December, 2010 Valencia-Venezuela

Only to confirm all has been excellent. This place has a character, "un gout de Paris", merveilleux!! Merci de ces jours. We hope to be back! Gracias!

Richard K. December, 2010 Johannesburg, South Africa

My wife, two sons and I stayed at the Montorgueil Market apartment in December 2010. The entire experience from dealing with HIP to being greeted by our greeter Laurence was exceptional. The apartment is very spacious and the pictures on the website do not do it justice. The apartment is quiet, clean and within 10-15 minutes walk from all the best parts of Paris. We loved staying in this special little "Haven in Paris". It was very central to where we needed to go and a cosy home to come home to after several hours of cold snow, sleet and rain. We have stayed in the Ritz before, but this is home away from home, especially if traveling with children. We can all highly recommend this apartment to groups up to 3 people. The only downside was that there is only one bathroom in the apartment which can make things a little crowded at bath time if there are 4 in your group as was our case. Note from HIP: There is also a second 1/2 bath in the apartment with a sink and toilet that is supplemental to the main, full bathroom.

Emily October, 2010 Boston, MA

The Montorgueil Market apartment was roomy and clean. It was so nice to stay in a neighborhood which really made you feel like a true Parisian. It was relatively quiet and the location was perfect - we would walk to get our morning croissant and coffee and blend in with the locals. We look forward to coming back to Paris next year and staying in the same apartment!

Joe & Carol September, 2010 Arizona, USA

3 weeks was not enough! Perfect apartment with a perfect location in the perfect city. Who could ask for more? The three weeks we spent there wasn't long enough. We highly recommend some neighborhood restaurants like Clementine, Gallopin, Aux Lyonnaise and Chez Georges. All within a ten minute walk. Shopping daily on the Rue Montorgueil was a pleasure. The apartment is everything it appears to be. Stylish and clean. And the service was impeccable. The Metro was easy to use. And the Parisians couldn't have been nicer. Laurence, the greeter, was great and very informative. The apartment was spotlessly clean and maintained.

G.Gaind August, 2010 Canada

There were many companies, but HIP seemed to have a number of upscale apartments at reasonable prices. The Montorgueil Market apartemnt is quiet (except for one night with someone talking loudly on their balcony),artistically furnished, comfortable,and has season 3 of Curb Your Enthusiasm when one is just too tired to go out. The airbed was fine for our eldest, and having 2 toilets is a plus. The location is ideal, with the Sentier Metro steps away, nearby markets, and one can walk to the Seine/Louvre in less than 15 minutes.

Lidia P. August, 2010 Aalt Spring Island, BC

WE came to show our three teenagers Paris - we have had an exceptional time. Walked till we dropped through the city, enjoyed all the incredible sights, museums, cafes, etc. The Montorgueil Market apartment fit our needs perfectly, a wonderful sot to relax after full day s of exploring the city. Fantastic location and very comfortable!Thank you Laurence and Haven in Paris! We hope to visit again and use your fantastic service!

Chris Allick July, 2010 San Farancisco, CA

Good location in a good building. If you like to shop markets daily and cook your own meals this is a very good set up. Kitchen was adequately equipped as were the stove, oven and refrigerator. Apartment space is more than adequate for 3-4 people. Still not used to the "shower in a tub" arrangement and did not like climb in and out of the high-rimmed tub but everything else was fine. The building is very secure and quiet and the neighbors very friendly. We had a great time.

Joanna C. July, 2010 Sydney, Australia

Our stay was just fabulous and Laurence was fantastic! She booked all our restaurants for us before we got there and received our Museum pass. The apartment was lovely and we were very happy there.

I. Brannan July, 2010 St Ives, Austrailia

We had a great stay in Paris, many thanks. The property was great, very spacious and in a great location.In terms of Laurence who greeted us, she was very nice, very instructive re the apartment and overall a great help to us. The apartment was clean on arrival so no issues there at all. Again, great time in Paris

Janet Traub May, 2010 san francisco

I know Paris very well but had never rented an apt. before. the apt's location near rue montorgueil ? was really great, the centrality of the area was great, the property was very clean, lots of places to put clothes in the bedrooms, your greeter was lovely and very reliable and the apt. was exactly as it appeared on the website. It really was a beautiful place to return to after pounding the pavement all day. the beds were very comfortable and the sheets were lovely. Having the ibook was a great help as was the free use of the phone.

Maja Karabeg April, 2010 Ca/USA

Beautiful apartment on prime location. The street is very quiet and safe, walking distance to many great restaurants, shops, Louvre... Haven in Paris did great job in making everything smooth and easy. They helped us find the driver to wait for us at the airport, Didier was waiting for us in the apartment and was very helpful with info what is “hot in the city” at the moment as well with all our questions. Laurence helped us with check-out, called the taxi, checked the train status, waited outside for taxi to come. Unbelievable service, beautiful vacation. Thank you again!

Richard & Maureen S. April, 2010 Savannah, GA USA

This trip had to be arranged on short notice. The folks at HIP were extremely helpful and kind. The website is a wealth of information. It is reassuring to see the praise and recommendations from former clients of HIP. The trip was fabulous and the apartment and surrounding neighborhood were great! We would (and have) definitely recommend HIP!

Nichole Robertson March, 2010 NJ, USA

We were absolutely thrilled with the Montorgueil Market apartment. Not only was the location perfect, but the apartment itself was stunning. Gorgeous light, airy rooms, fantastic art, and very well laid out. We enjoyed our meals at the large dining room table, many of which were simply some goodies we picked up on Rue Montorgueil. Our greeter could not have been sweeter and even stocked the baskets in the kitchen with some pain au chocolat for our boys. I can't recommend this apartment enough. Thanks, HIP!

Jenny J. March, 2010 California, USA

What a great first experience with a vacation rental agency! Service when we arrived was excellent; our host went above and beyond -- and, to our pleasant surprise, one of the Haven in Paris employees from Boston even met us at our flat while she was in town! Our arrival in Paris couldn't have been easier. The flat was spacious, clean, modern, and safe for four women traveling in a foreign country. Literally a one minute walk to the nearest metro. Beds were comfy, linens abundant, and kitchen well-stocked for a great meal (though we found the HiP online restaurant recommendations perfect each night!). The bathroom & shower was spacious -- a rarity in Europe! We loved being surrounded by the owner's art. The views into the courtyard were a treat each morning. The photos don't do this flat justice. We would definitely return. After one trip, Haven in Paris will now be our go-to stop for accommodations in France and beyond! Thank you for a perfect stay!

Clare and Murray D. June, 2009 New Zealand

Our greeter was very helpful to us at the apartment, she showed us how everything worked and assisted us on the last day with luggage storage at the apartment and organizing a taxi. We were happy with our stay and would use Haven in Paris again as we much prefer staying in an apartment to a hotel room. The apartment was spacious and coped easily with our family of four including two twentyish children, one slept on a airbed behind the screen in the very spacious living area. Given 3 bedroom apartments are hard to come by this was a very acceptable arrangement for our family. It is well located with a great little bar/cafe 100 metres away and the proximity of Rue Montogueill for both grocery items and dining is excellent.

Philip May, 2009 Brooklyn, NY

The Montorgueil Market apartment is beautiful as advertised and Françoise (our greeter) very helpful. It was nice that certain basics like garbage bags, paper towels and coffee filters were in the house. (It's annoying to rent an apartment and have to spend an entire day gathering such things as well as food and etc., particularly at a certain price point.) The furniture, towels, linens, kitchen equipment, appliances were all in excellent condition. It is very convenient that you have a computer for the use of your guests. It's a rare feature and one that factored significantly in our decision.

Kathy & Tony April, 2009 Connecticut, USA

What a wonderful stay we've had in Paris, truly memorable! The proximity of this apartment was perfect for all we did. We loved the nearby shopping and restaurants and the apartment provided all the comforts of home. After a long day of site-seeing, walking, it was our "refuge". Thank you to Françoise for your helpful greeting. You were the first person we met in Paris and your kindness put us at ease in an otherwise unfamiliar place!

Candace April, 2009 Illinois

We had a great time in Paris! The apartment worked out great for us. As a group of 6, we could really spread out and be comfortable. We really used the computer and the washer/dryer a lot. We were also happy with the amount of fresh towels and linens at our disposal. We enjoyed the special little touches: like the very ample closet space and empty bureaus, lots of hangers, the guidebooks and extra toiletries. The artwork was great and the kitchen was also well stocked with supplies and spices. The apartment was also very, very clean (and I am a picky cleanliness person). The drawers were lined with fresh paper. It was even clean under the furniture and beds. I also liked that there was freshly ground coffee in the refrigerator. Your website is also well organized with beautiful pictures of the apartments. We had a great time in Paris and a great stay at your apartment. We would definitely use your service again.

Tom & Kathy March, 2009 Texas, USA

We had a great week here. The apartment was very nice and Paris is a beautiful city. We ate at one of your recommended restaurants, Le Grand Colbert, and loved it. Our greeter Françoise was very helpful.

Heather Snow January, 2009 San Antonio, Texas

From the first contact, my experice with HIP was super easy and efficient. Our apartment was phenomenal and the staff were superb. The apartment looked exactly the same as the photos and far exceeded our expectations.

William, Anthe, Tom & Lily January, 2009 Australia

We really enjoyed this little haven in Paris. Mme de Pompadour was born in the area and this area is still the centre of everything interesting and exciting about Paris. The artworks here were a real pleasure and an unexpected bonus.

Silvia and Colin December, 2008 Singapore

Thank you very much we had a truly wonderful time at the apartment. Especially this time of year it was just so nice to come back "home" and enjoy the warmth and comfort of the apartment, have some freshly bought oysters from rue Montorgueil accompanied by a bottle of wine recommended by the wine merchant. A prefect setting to socialise with friends who had joined us from Germany. There was really nothing we could have wanted and did not have, in fact I think we did not fully appreciate all the facilities offered (laundry, PC, DVD, TV in study) but the kitchen was well equipped, the beds very comfortable, the bathroom had always hot water, the heating was working, the apartment was quiet Your greeters were very polite and professional, we appreciated the flowers and bottle of wine, that was a very heart warming touch. Francoise attended promptly to the problems with the internet/telephone/TV connections (which was very important as we needed to stay in touch with our offices), and that could have been a problem, but not yours per se as it was to do with the provider company. We found the controls for the TV channels somewhat challenging to work out, but there always seem to be (same in Singapore) too many remote controls and buttons to press wrongly if the system is new to you. We (as Germans) also thought your standard of cleanliness was exceptional, you could compete with the 5 star hotels any day! All in all we had a absolutely fantastic time and having an apartment of that quality and location was a great part of that. Thank you very much for a wonderful time in Paris, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Chris C. November, 2008 Los Angeles, CA, USA

The Montorgueil Market apartment was fantastic and Jessica (our greeter) was AMAZING! The apartment was central to everything and there was lots going on just around the corner. We will be back SOON!

Cynthia Alexander October, 2008 Nova Scotia, Canada

We had a great time in the apartment and very much look forward to returning. My Mom and I were very comfy, loved the neighborhood, and the central location.

Linda Cox July, 2008 New Zealand

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Montorgueil Market property. It is beautifully presented, very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for an apartment stay in Paris, very spacious, light filled and secure. The property is well located in a quiet street just around the corner from one of the best street markets. It is a short walk to many of Paris' fabulous sites. The HIP team were polite and very responsive to our questions.

Leonard Mazanek July, 2008 Lisle IL USA

The apartment was great -- it was in a good area. Would stay there again.

Robert & Isabeau May, 2008 Ontario, CA

Hi Erica... Isabeau and I had a wonderful time in Paris. The apartment was everything we expected. Kyra was extremely helpful, beyond the call of duty, I believe. She organized 2 dinner reservations and joined in with plenty of additional informative and entertaining info on Paris and the world. The personal tours of the neighbourhoods, after dinner, were particularly delightful... I am hoping we can return the courtesy one day here in Canada.

Timothy Milford & Liza Velazquez April, 2008 Brooklyn, NY USA

Dear Erica & company- We had a lovely time in Paris, and the Montorgueil Market apartment was the perfect base. Kyra was a gracious host upon arrival, and Carrie, the young woman who saw us out was a big help -- there was a mix-up with our airport transfer, and we needed a concerned Francophone. We had a super week, and we loved the flat. Your spaces demonstrate the superiority of the Parisian rental market to its London counterpart. All the best, Timothy Milford & Liza Velazquez

I just wanted to express to you we had a fantastic time in Paris, and the Montorgueil Market Property was perfect for our needs. This is my second stay in one of your properties and I recommend them to everyone. Our greeter was excellent as well. Next time I stay in Paris you can guarantee I will look you up. Thank you very much.

This is an outstanding apartment: beautifully and tastefully done, warm, spacious and filled with the owners' lovely art, books and furnishings. The location is superb: the immediate neighborhood, especially rue Montorgeuil in the 2e, has everything you might want for your Paris experience; and you're within walking distance of much of the best of Paris, including the Louvre, the Marais, Place des Voges, the islands etc. We were looked after efficiently and intelligently, as well as pleasantly, by HIP's indefatigable Kyra. She was terrific.

The apartment was fantastic. Great location; great space; Carrie was very helpful.

Fantastic Apartment! Would never stay in a hotel again! Looked better than the pictures! Thank you so much- we had a fantastic time! Excellent! Top notch vacation rental agency- will not hesitate to use again!

Thank you for making our stay in Paris so enjoyable. The flat was outstanding as was Kyra's attentiveness. I look forward to working with Haven in Paris again.

We had an amazing visit to Paris. The apartment was lovely. I spent early mornings on the sofa reading through the fabulous art book collection. It was so relaxing and inspiring. The location of the apartment is ideal -- we walked everywhere. Rue Montorggueil, just around the corner, is a delight to your senses - and delivers the finest ingredients to create any meal your heart desires. Kyra was lovely. She was gracious when we met upon our arrival, took time with two bleary eyed, jet lagged travelers to ensure we knew how to operate and find stuff in the apartment, and gave us a neighborhood orientation. She chose a lovely wine for us that I really enjoyed. We invited her to dinner one night when our daughter was in town (they're similar ages) and it was a wonderful evening. The drivers from Elysee cars were both great. We used them both ways. Thierry on the pick up gave us a wonderful tour of the city which was a great way to orient us for the rest of the week. We'll be sure to check back with you on our next trip to Paris. I'd stay at Rue Clery again in a heartbeat. Thanks for helping make the trop so memorable.

This was our third experience working with the outstanding people at HIP, all of which have been knock-your-socks-off successes! The trip - two October weeks stolen from a crazy-busy period in our lives - was perfect. Our two friends from Grenoble spent a weekend with us, and our son, daughter-i-l and two grandchildren stayed for the second weeks. The apartment is a rare find, and we rate the location (after some pre-arrival concerns) maybe the best yet!

The appartement is well situated in Paris, but to us it is not a very cosy appartment. We think it needs to be redecorated. The second bedroom has a very small twin bed. (NOTE: This is a normal double bed 140x190cm) But the service of HIP was great.

Everything was impeccable and Kyra was a charm. She brought us fresh flowers and there was a lovely touch of those in the bathrooms and on the dining table. She kept in touch to make sure everything worked well and coordinated our departure to work both for us and her next incoming guests. She is a true professional and so pleasant and made it all look easy. The booklet kept in the flat was very helpful re: places to eat and directions. The apartment was magnificent. My bed was extremely comfortable. From just walking in the door it was all fresh and sparkling and smelt good. The beautiful artwork everywhere...we would have loved to meet the artist. The only thing we pined about was having to leave, next time we will definitely plan for a longer stay. The staff was very accommodating and friendly as on Saturday morning we had left our luggage there and had to come back and pick it up at 1:30 and they allowed us to come in and sit in the lounge room and use the bathrooms before our departure without any complaints even though we were in their way. All in all we had a really good stay, there were no unpleasant surprises, as can happen when booking from the net.

Les Sechler September, 2007 CA, USA

We enjoyed the apartment very much and have recommended it to friends. I'm sure we'll be in Paris again soon.

The description of the Montorgueil Market apartment presented on the HIP website accurately reflects the apartment. What the website does not reflect is the wonderful support provided by Erica and her staff. Erica is an exceptional professional and she provides an effective and efficient rental process. Anne met us at the apartment and made us feel very comfortable. Subsequently, she made reservations for a car and driver to take us to Fontainebleau and Vaux-le-Vicomte. Also, she obtained tickets for us to attend a wonderful concert at Ste. Chapelle. We could not be more satisfied with our Haven In Paris experience.

Steve Mushkin July, 2007 Hamilton, Massachusetts

The apartment was large, even more comfortable than expected, and the high ceilings give a relaxed airy feel. The building itself has been updated and yet retains all the hoped for charm and character. And the location is superb, in a non-touristy residential neighborhood only a two-minute walk from one of the best pedestrian streets (and best epicurean streets) in the city and centrally located to just about all the major sights. Would go back in a minute.

Sherree H June, 2007 Missouri, USA

Bonjour. We truly enjoyed our stay in Paris. We enjoyed the apartment - it was spacious and very nicely appointed. My group enjoyed the space, spreading out, we ate all breakfast in and one dinner in. We came home and napped or relaxed almost every day and it was no trouble to get back there for a while. We also truly enjoyed the artwork, one of our group is an art student, and we were quite impressed with the owner's range of art work.

Kevin May, 2007 San Francisco/CA/USA

The Montorgueil Market apartment is a huge open unit with easy access to everything we wanted. We had four people and rarely knew anyone else was in the unit. The stay at the apartment was wonderful. We had a great time and the place was great. Our greeter, Kyra, was amazing and we actually hung out and had dinner a few nights. She told us where to go and was always on the money. I would recommend with confidence! Thanks again, we would definitely use your services again.

David Evans May, 2007 San Francisco, CA USA

We were very satisfied with the Montorgueil Market apartment. Its very large with a pleasant atmosphere and very centrally located for walking to points of interest. We appreciate that the pictures on your website accurately reflected the size and level of luxury of the unit. I have been misled by web photos on other occassions. We will definitely consider this unit the next time we stay in Paris.

Deborah February, 2007 New York City

We enjoyed our stay immensely and looked forward to coming home to unwind after long days walking throughout the city. The Montorgueil Market apartment is great for two couples (or family) with two real bedrooms. It is filled with artwork and has a wonderful dining area where you can feast on all the delicious treats you find on the lovely Rue Montorgueil-- a pedestrian street 2 blocks away with all the shops you need to prepare for an evening feast.

Andrew & Jacqueline January, 2007 Cambridge, Mass. USA

We had a lovely time in Paris and were pleased with the apartment and especially with the attention and help we got from Nancy. We also could not have been more pleased with Kyra and Carrie: they are both loveley and did an amazing job babsitting for our William.

Nancy B January, 2007 NYC, NY USA

We had, on the whole, a wonderful experience with your agency. Nancy was wonderful, she couldn't have been more charming or helpful. We used the G7 cabs that you recommended and they were very reliable. As for the apartment, It was spacious and very well kept. We would certainly use your agency in the future with no hesitation. I would be happy to recommend your services on your web site-particularly the maintenance of the apartments and your staff. Thanks for all you help and will certainly hope to call on you for our next trip to Paris.

Kira & Laura December, 2006 Hawaii, USA

Wow! Enormous apartment with a real American-sized kitchen. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay + try "Le Clyde" nearby at 4 rue du Mail.

Debbie L November, 2006 New York City, USA

Thanks for your help in arranging the Montorgueil Market apartment. We had a great time in Paris and the apartment was perfect. The artwork and decor were unique.
