Information About Our Paris Apartment Rentals
How We Started: Our Paris Apartments
Paris Perfect is a luxury Paris apartment rental business that has grown from one very special Paris rental in the heart of the city to more than 45 luxurious properties. The business was launched by Philippe, a former cardiac surgeon who traded in the operating room for more entrepreneurial pursuits. The idea evolved when he and his American banker wife, Madelyn, relocated to London and had the idea to find more high quality Paris apartments in their favorite neighborhoods.
"Our friends contacted us about renting our Paris apartment because they wanted to experience true Parisian living—immersing themselves in a charming neighborhood and enjoying the Parisian lifestyle. We thought more people would love to have this same opportunity in equally spectacular settings."
Our Philosophy
To provide and decorate beautiful Paris apartments in the best neighborhoods and to offer friendly staff to welcome guests, offer tips and advice, explain how everything works and answer any questions. By providing a great apartment and outstanding service to our guests, they return year after year and recommend us to family and friends. Many guests come back annually and refer friends to our Paris apartments.
We have had the good fortune to be recognized by Business Week, Rick Steve's, The Fine Living Channel, The Wall Street Journal, and most recently Travel and Leisure Magazine.
What Makes Us Different
What makes www.parisperfect.com different is that our apartments are managed by Paris Perfect, and every single one has the "Wow!" factor—that perfect combination of views, appointments, and amenities that amazes customers the moment they walk through the door.
Over the past decade, we have carefully selected only light-filled, outward-facing apartments in the best quartiers of Paris. Each one has beautiful, period features and outstanding views, allowing visitors to experience the beauty of Parisian living inside the apartment as well as when strolling through the surrounding neighborhood. Without exception, our Paris apartments are surrounded by an abundance of cafes, restaurants, and shops. With fabulous central locations – most on the famous Left Bank – you can walk to landmarks and monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, Rodin Museum, Musée d’Orsay and so much more.
Madelyn adds: "Our logic is simple: our guests invest a lot to travel to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and we want them to enjoy their stay to the fullest. This kind of property is the most expensive and difficult to find, but we are uncompromising in our standards. We prefer a few beautiful Parisian apartments in the best neighborhoods than to offer a list of mediocre ones belonging to a wide range of owners. Our team teases me that I fall in love with each apartment for its own unique features…and they are right!"
Creating a 'Home Away From Home'
We follow the highest standards to ensure our guests have a comfortable stay. We make substantial improvements to bring them up to our superior standards. Some of these features include large hot water tanks, fixed showers, excellent lighting, beautiful antique furniture, high-end sofas and beds, American/French DVD players, cable and stereo systems, free high speed Internet, granite worktops, professional cookware, etc. The result is that guests feel welcome and comfortable in Paris from the minute they walk in the door.
"We try to think of everything, from practical things like large hot water tanks and fixed showers, to those special extras that make a dream ‘home away from home’ – new kitchens, quality appliances, and, of course, excellent beds for a good night’s sleep."
We don't stop there – friendly greeters in Paris meet you at the apartment when you arrive to explain how to operate appliances and answer any questions you might have. We have local offices in Paris, open 7 days a week to help you. This investment makes us unique since most companies operate virtually on the internet and oftentimes from locations outside of France. Virtual agencies handle everything remotely which can make cleaning and maintenance standards difficult to control. There is no replacement for good local people who can ensure that everything is in place and spotless before a guest arrives. Labor is costly in France, but for our guests, it is 100% worth it.
We want the neighborhood around each of our Paris Perfect apartments to feel like home. To help guests hit the ground running, we provide a Paris Guide with loads of information on great local bistros and restaurants, open air markets, tours and shopping. Our guests tell us they just love our Paris Guide!
