Our Studio Apartment was wonderful. Tiny, but my daughter and I managed very well; especially as it was so well appointed with great bathroom, kitchen and laundry facilities. The feel of our very old building and the view from the 3rd floor down the narrow busy street was great. Living on this street for a week I began to feel the real Paris and did not feel like a tourist. There was a lovely grumpy old gentleman who ran a tiny supermarket to the left of our front door and a very nice young man who had an even smaller pancake shop to the right. Our street seemed to be right in the middle of the Marais which was wonderfully central and walking distance from many of the great heritage sites of Paris and the Seine. Everything was great about the apartment and the location - even all the crazy wine bars. French drinkers are very civilized even at 2.00am and the street cleaners do a wonderfully quiet job of hosing away the detritis of the night before.
Looking forward to 2012
Kindest regards and thanks for all your assistance during our stay.

We were happy to work with Special Apartments for our short stay in Paris! We had a last-minute apartment request that they accommodated very nicely. Special Apartments answered questions quickly and professionally, and we found an apartment situation that fitted our needs exactly. After spending what seemed like hours trying to navigate short-term Paris apartment rental options online, Special Apartments was by far the best option and would totally recommend them to anyone looking for a positive experience for apartment rental while in Paris!

We had a great time in Paris. The apartment was perfect for our needs and your service was wonderful. The repairs needed (broken sofa, towel bar not heating) were done very quickly and efficiently.
Our only complaint is the taxi service whose number is given on your information sheet as having an English speaking operator were horrible. They were rude and unhelpful. I called the evening before our departure to reserve a taxi to the station and they would not do it. They told me a taxi would be available in the morning. When I called in the morning, they had nothing for 2 hours and were completely unhelpful.
We will use your services again for our next trip to Paris.
Sincerely
Gillian

I stayed at the apartments on the advice of my colleague John McMullan and am so glad I did! Your company’s service is superb and welcoming. The location of my rue de Temple apartment was superb; I had no idea how close I would be to the Pompidou, Notre Dame, basically everything in walking distance. I had a wonderful stay in Paris and the apartment was a very big part of that – being able to make myself meals with food from local shops made the Marais district feel like home!

A quick note to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rue de Temple apartment last week. This is a great little apartment which had everything we needed for our stay. We were happy with the quality of the apartment, cleanliness and your service was fantastic.
We will happily contact you next time we are visiting Paris - do you have any apartments in the Canal St Martin district? We will also happily recommend Special Apartments to friends looking for accommodation in Paris.
Thanks again and kind regards
