“If you want to experience Paris as a "local" not a tourist, but want all the comforts of home and a fabulous support staff just a phone call away, then rent a Paris Perfect apartment! We rented "Merlot" --just across from the Champs de Mar and Eiffel Tower--for a week in October. The apartment oozes charm and character. Dining (or just sipping wine) on the terrace, with the twinkling Eiffel Tour in grand view is one of those surreal experiences. Everything is first class, from the furnishings, bedding, towels, and even deluxe expresso maker. Just stroll down the street to buy your croissants, frommage, vin, or absolutely anything else you want. The location is perfect, with each street more charming than the next. As everyone else mentioned, the staff and their services put the experience over the top, from the moment you make contact to discuss which apartment might suit you the best. The booking process was easy, all logistical details are provided, you are met upon arrival for a thorough briefing of the apartment, a phone call follows the next day to be sure all is well, and they are available by phone for the inevitable question or two. On top of all that, Madelyn has assembled an amazing "guide book" of information which comes upon booking. It's hard to imagine a question that isn't addressed in it, whether it's where to shop and dine, how to use the Metro, taxi suggestions, tour guide suggestions, and on and on. Stay there once, and you WILL return!!”
Scott and Laurie - Thursday, October 30th 2008
Left bank, heart of the 7th arrondissement, unquestionably one of the best in Paris. The apartment is surrounded by cafés, shops, restaurants, and open markets; the neighborhood retains its original village feel.
Views from the Apartment
- Unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars. Eiffel Tower is slightly to the right, with the gardens of the Champ de Mars Park directly ahead.
On Your Doorstep
- Three large open markets in the neighborhood: Pont de l’Alma, Rue de Grenelle and Ave. de Saxe. The famous Rue Cler is three blocks away.
- Ecole Militaire métro is 3 blocks; 5 blocks to Pont de l'Alma métro. Three main buses stop ½ block away.
Summary
- Open Markets: Rue Cler is five blocks away, one of the best and most famous streets for food in Paris. Pont de l'Alma is a five-minutes walk and has the largest open market in Paris every Saturday morning. Merchants come from the country with wines, fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, pâtés, breads, even five types of escargots!
We leave several Paris guidebooks and other information on the neighborhood for you to peruse during your stay.
This is a non-smoking apartment and, sorry, but no pets are allowed.
We think you will love staying in our Paris apartment!
Please let me know if you have any other questions or would like to check availability; we are happy to help. - You are surrounded by restaurants that local Parisians go to, cafés, bistros and shops.
- You are six blocks to the golden dome of the Invalides, where Napoleon is buried, along with surrounding park.
- You are seven blocks to the incredible Rodin Museum.
- One block to the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars. The Champ de Mars Park is a rare bonus in Paris as there are few large parks in the center of the city. Walk, run, play in 1 of 3 playgrounds, basketball court, go to the puppet theater or just sit and enjoy. Nearby bike rental is a fun activity in the park, especially after strenuous site seeing. The apartment is next to the American Library, an institution in Paris, and across from an old elementary school built at the turn-of-the-century.
- In January 2005, the Eiffel Tower converted the first floor into an ice skating rink 189 feet high above the rooftops of Paris; we hope it will continue every year.
- The Seine River is three blocks away and right near where the famous Bateau Mouche boat tours begin.
- Breathtaking view of la Grande Dame de Paris, the Eiffel Tower – You invest a lot to come to Paris and you should be rewarded with an unforgettable view of this eternal city.
- The location is one of the best in Paris: 3-minute walk to the river; 15 minutes to the Invalides; 10 minutes to the Trocadéro; the Grand Palais and the couturier's on Ave. Montaigne, the Four Seasons George V for tea or 3-star dining; 15-minute walk to the Champs Elysées; 20-minute walk to Place de la Concorde and the Bon Marché department store.

Situated in the 7th arrondissement, on the left bank of the river Seine, this beautiful two bedroom Paris apartment rental offers air conditioning and a top location in one of Paris' best and most lively neighborhoods. The Merlot Paris apartment rental has a long balcony where you can watch the sun set behind the Eiffel Tower or enjoy café' au lait each morning. Step outside and find yourself in the middle of cafés, shops, restaurants and open markets - all that makes Paris special and a perfect rental for your Paris vacation.
Our Merlot apartment rental in the heart of Paris combines stunning views and balcony on the Left Bank, to make a beautiful and welcoming apartment for your stay in Paris. There are two bedrooms and two baths and air conditioning has been installed throughout. Our Paris apartment rental measures 675 square feet and faces west, making it very light and sunny. Elegantly furnished, our apartment offers a warm and romantic stay for your Paris vacation. Original features of our apartment have been carefully restored, including original oak floors, moldings, and fireplace.
We were honored to have our Merlot Paris apartment rental be chosen by Fine Living, as their Paris choice of the most romantic apartments in the world. Please see the video clip on our site!
Enter our Merlot apartment in Paris to a pretty corridor which leads to the living room, straight ahead. It is a beautiful, double-room, Parisian apartment that was opened up to create a feeling of space and light. Two pairs of French doors lead onto the balcony to breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, gardens of the Champ de Mars, and Parisian life below. A round marble bistro table and chairs sit on the balcony for you to enjoy croissants and café au lait each morning, or to toast the sunset in the evening. At www.parisperfect.com, we believe that a crucial element of your stay in Paris is to be able to enjoy this kind of view - whether for the first or fiftieth time.
We want you to sit and watch the day unfold below: parents taking children to school; people buying their morning and evening baguettes, coming back from the market with their shopping baskets full, or joining friends for an espresso in the café on the corner. We believe that a great view is an important factor to a wonderful stay in Paris, whether it's for your first or fiftieth time. It is extremely difficult to find these kinds of apartments; we say they must have the 'Wow!' factor when you walk in the door. As a result, our selection is small, but we are uncompromising in our standards.
Between the two French doors stands a pretty antique chest of drawers and mirror, the focal point of the living room. A decorative marble fireplace stands on the left, surrounded by a Louis Philippe-style daybed and two armchairs. The daybed converts to two comfortable twin beds or a dual-king at night. We find it a better option for guests than regular sofa beds, as they are good for sitting on, for taking naps, or to convert to comfortable beds at night.
An old red antique Chinese trunk serves as the coffee table, with an English silver plated tea service from the 1940's. Next to the fireplace is a marble bistro table along with TV, DVD player, and sound system. The DVD and CD player are compatible with American movies, so you can bring some of your favorites with you. The satellite connection means you can watch CNN and BBC news, and sample all of the French channels as well. A marble bistro table sits to the right of the fireplace, for working at your computer or reading. There is free access to an adsl line with Ethernet connection for your computer, with secure password.
As in all of our Paris apartments, we have left a nice selection of guidebooks for you to peruse during your stay.
On the right of the living room is a round dining table which expands to seat 6. The violet-colored wall and delicate chandelier highlight this corner and make a welcoming space for meals. Two built-in closets for hanging and storage are built in to the right of this niche.
Turn right from the living room into the newly remodeled kitchen of the apartment. Granite countertops in pink and gray complement the pale wood cabinets. The kitchen is well conceived and offers good workspace to prepare your meals from the ingredients you've found at our local open markets. A large window with wooden Venetian blinds opens onto the inner courtyard of the building. There is a large refrigerator/freezer, oven and dishwasher-top of the line appliances by Miele-stove, microwave, teapot, coffeemaker, espresso machine, and toaster. We have provided all of the cooking and serving accessories you need. The white porcelain dishes are from E. Dehellerin in Paris, the shop which furnishes all good restaurants. With a full array of cookware, you can shop the local open markets and shops to prepare your own gourmet meals.
The first bathroom of the apartment is next on the right, with toilet, full-sized fixed shower and sink. The sink is an old marble bowl from Italy which has been converted to a small sink, a perfect size for this compact room. The room is contemporary in feel, with small pale green tiles and beige limestone. Lots of hooks for hanging; hairdryer and towels are provided.
Walk down the corridor of our apartment (it has a modern Parisian feel with leather console table, oriental pots and antique mirror), towards the bedrooms.
The master bedroom of our Paris apartment is at the end of the corridor on your left. It's a beautiful, romantic room with the special feature of double French doors onto the balcony. With the same view as the living room, you can savor the beauty of Paris morning and night. We have decorated the bedroom in chocolate browns and deep rust colors, giving it a warm and romantic feel. The Venetian-style headboard, antique mirror, and chocolate colors combine to make this a dramatic and welcoming room. Brown taffeta curtains are lined with a pale striped fabric that shows thru in the sunshine, adding a touch of drama. There is a new, high-quality queen-size bed, closet, and TV with satellite; and a console table with antique mirror along the wall. Small touches such as good reading lights mean you can study your itinerary at night, or lounge in bed with a good book. All windows and French doors are new and provide excellent sound and thermal insulation. The bedroom and living room windows have blackout blinds for sound sleep.
Next to the bedroom is the main bathroom of the apartment, with a double sink of antique stone bowls, bathtub with shower. An amusing frieze of a mythical fish decorates the pale limestone wall above the full-sized bathtub. The 80-gallon hot water tank means you can lounge in a hot bath after a long day of walking.
The second bedroom of the apartment is next on the right with large windows that overlook the inner courtyard of the building. This is a cozy room which sleeps two. There is a twin bed with a twin trundle which slides out from underneath. A small chest of drawers and a marble-topped table for writing or working make good use of this room. And, the DSL line for your computer is here at the table.
Opposite the bathroom is a hanging closet for more storage and second closet with full-sized Miele washer and dryer.

“I would like to thank the Paris Perfect Team for a totally enjoyable stay at your Merlot Apartment recently.
My husband and I are still dreaming of Paris and will be recommending your services to our friends and will definitely be using you again on our return to your beautiful city in the near future.
A special thanks to Alister who greeted us and made us feel completely comfortable. Nothing was a trouble.
All the best,

“"Do you know that feeling when you get off a long flight, and you're excited, but tired, and a strange, but beautiful city is so bewitching, but for the moment all you want is a cup of tea and a chair and a moment to relax and take it all in? Well, that's how we all felt when we arrived in Paris ( some for the first time) this
past March, and when the taxi pulled up in front of the address, I wondered if our ""home"" for the next 8 days could be as sweet and welcoming as I needed it to be at that moment...well, it was, and then some...Merlot was a charming, peaceful haven...we watched the children on their way to school in the morning, and at evening, the Eiffel Tower transformed into a light show. So much better than a hotel room, Paris Perfect creates a ""home"" for you, and that, my friends, is the cream in the eclair. Au revoir. See you in Paris! "

“We rented Merlot with our three young children for a week in August. It was a lovely apartment with everything you need when you are traveling with children- laundry, dishwasher,and equipt kitchen. We will surely go back - the views of the eiffel tower are stunning- merlot does not have a head on view, but if you sit on the small balocony you have a spectacular view.
It is a very nice location to walk the city of Paris and we loved being close to rue cler, the great markets for fresh food...
In my opinion, it is much nicer to stay in a lovely apartment if you are there for a week or more- you can really settle into the culture.”

“It was a pleasure staying at Merlot apartment, we felt at home. It is a very beautiful and well located neighborhood.
Philippe, Madelaine thank you again for being so nice and friendly with us, we realy enjoyed aou stay in Paris.”
Elizabeth Helou - Saturday, March 26th 2005
“What a wonderful week, truly Paris Perfect! Perfect accommodations. Perfect view of the Eiffel Tower and it's light show each evening. Perfect neighborhood. Merlot proved to be centrally located enabling us to use the Metro or walk to all our "must see" destinations. Loved the state of the art kitchen, the Nespresso coffee machine, our own laundry facilities and the elevator. Fabulous dining around the corner at Cafe Constance, yummy bakeries and a surprise Creole-Condon Blue delight at Percy's - a short taxi ride away. Would we return? Mais oui!!!!

“"Our family of five (we have three sons ages 11, 17 and 20) just returned from a one-week stay in the wonderful Merlot apartment. It was a first trip to Paris, and your apartment made it even more special. We loved the furnishings, the special touches like the gift basket and DVDs to use, that made it so memorable. Even though the week started out warm (sticky, mid-80s), your fans and open windows made it quite comfortable. Your perfect location can't be beat....we enjoyed the neighborhood cafes, the great bakeries, and a few nights we put together our own take-in dinner from the Rue Cler vendors. We'd rent another place from you in a minute the next time we're lucky enough to vacation in Paris.

“My wife and I stayed in your lovely Merlot apartment in mid-May, 2004 -- celebrating our 25th. Our special treat was having our daughter join us -- who, at the time, was studying in Europe. So -- the accomodations were just perfect; Jenni had her own room and privacy while my wife and I shared the master. Your apartment, Philippe and Madelyn, was beautifully appointed -- as evidenced by the stunning but quite comfortable furniture, special and highly functional built-ins, especially in the kitchen and baths and inviting terrace overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Every morning, I'd wander through the neighborhhod to bring back the freshest croissants, cheeses, eggs and herbs -- whip together one of my favorite breakfast concoctions and serve them to my girls as they'd sit out on the terrace enjoying the view of Parisian life. Just a wonderful time. Thank you for the welcome basket upon our arrival too -- a very pleasant personal touch.”
Richard and Carol Stoff - Wednesday, June 9th 2004
“We stayed at the Merlot apartment in late March and completely fell in love. We couldn't tell what we loved more - Paris or the apartment! It was a true fairy tale experience. The view from the apartment (from living room and bedroom) is indescribable. When friends look at my pictures from the apartment they comment on the view more than any other pics we took. Every detail is taken care of - a beautiful welcome basket with some goodies, a thorough orientation manual with important numbers, tips, etc., and even some starter items in the kitchen to make you feel right at home. When we ran into any problems, you were immediately responsive. This unit and parisperfect as a whole is more than worth what we paid. You can't put a price tag on the memories paris perfect helped us create. Thank you, thank you!! We will be back!”
Faith and Sandor - Wednesday, April 28th 2004
“"ParisPerfect" is a most fitting name for the week we spent last December in your Merlot apartment. From our communication prior to the trip to Madelyn's helping me find a large street map of Paris after we returned home, everything was exactly as you promised.
The apartment seemed palatial after the hotel room in le Marais where we stayed on a ten-day trip in May. We also loved feeling a part of a neighborhood and had a lovely time each morning choosing where to buy our breakfast!
For me, though, the definitive difference in a ParisPerfect apartment was the detailed information to help us enjoy the apartment, the neighborhood, and Paris. I felt more like a houseguest (and by the end of the week not so very foreign!) than a temporary renter; it was almost like being sent out everyday with a myriad of possibilities to explore & and a personal guide to tell us exactly how to access what was most interesting to us.
I have already alerted several friends to the website, and we will definitely be back for a ParisPerfect trip.

“Philippe and Madelyn:
Staying in the Merlot and then the Chardonnay made our trip one to remember! All the amenities of home, but in Paris, what more could one ask? Thank you for providing easy to follow instructions for getting to and from the apartments and surrounding area - made finding our jeg-lagged way simple!
Our hats off to you for creating such a positive, relaxing experience for those wishing to enjoy all Paris has to offer. We'll be back! Maybe we'll even let our husbands come next time...
