Everything was great.
Little small but I was warned of Paris standard apartment sizes!
I now see why everyone loves Paris and I have my list of what to see next.
Found everyone in Paris to be very nice and helpful.
don’t know why there all those rumors that the French are rude to Americans, found the complete opposite, friendly, helpful polite people.
And the food was fabulous!
merci!

I wanted to thank you for the fabulous experience I had staying at 189, Rue St Honore earlier this year. Especially your fantastic service! You accommodated my last minute date changes and when I had difficulty with the door lock on arrival you were easy to contact and solved the problem quickly (even on a Sunday morning!)
The apartment was great. I loved the central location and presentation of the apartment. Mostly, as I was staying on my own for most of my stay, I felt safe and secure. Even when walking back to the apartment at night.
I am looking forward to returning, hopefully soon. Apartment 189 Rue St Honore would be my first choice of accommodation.
Thanks again,
Kylie Cross
P.S. I have already recommended your business to friends.

Thanks for the thoughts.
We had a fabulous time in Paris
We appreciated being met at the apartment & the guide to restaurants was great
There has been a change in owner & name at 15, rue Montmartre to ” The Christ
Inn’s Bistro ” ; but a great atmosphere still & good food.
The position of the apartment & elevator cannot be faulted. The apartment was
good temperature wise in May, but we needed shades down in day & windows open at night ( making it quite noisy).
The bed was good & internet access good. The bathroom was efficient, Only
mild downside was the coir matting on the floor - a bit rough on bare feet.
Thanks for the follow up

Thank you very much for your e-mail. Our stay in Paris was memorable one. The apartment we rented met the expectations and was according to photos and description on the web. Organizationally wise everything was on highest level and I must say that specialapartments team was more than helpful and really nice.
The only thing that I must make remark for was the bed in the apartment (what I also said to one of the employees on the phone during the stay). It was really in very poor condition and it was really uncomfortable to sleep in it. You can only suppose how important the bed is after whole day sightseeing and walking. The bed was not straight but U-shaped and the layer on metal construction so thin that one could feel the metal construction with every move.
Everything else we were really satisfied with and I thank for your professional service.
Best regards,
Martina
Thank you Martina for this feedback. We have since changed the bed!
Special Apartments Team.

Thanks for the email. We loved the apartment in Paris and it had absolutely everything we needed. The communication with Regis before we arrived and when we were in Paris was great - he always got back to me straight away. We would definitely rent the apartment again, or rent a larger apartment if there were more than two of us. The only thing that my boyfriend Steve mentioned was that when he was collecting the keys to the apartment, it took half an hour knocking on the door of the office before somebody heard him! But Im sure that could be easily solved by putting a doorbell or something on the office door.
Thanks again for a great service,
Sinéad
Yes! Unfortunately the battery on the office door bell had run out that day. Fixed now!

Just wanted to thank you and your colleague Geraldine for your assistance. We enjoyed our stay in Paris very much and the experience of staying in an apartment was delightful. We will certainly consider doing it again.
All the very best,

Our stay in Paris was great. I certainly don’t think we have any complaints or negative feedback to provide! Your instructions to get the key and make it to the apartment were very comprehensive and we found everything without any trouble. Although I would recommend that people try to get into Paris at a reasonable time so they can meet you at the apartment (just to avoid lugging all the bags everywhere!).
The apartment itself was nice and clean and comfortable and such a great location
Next time we must stay longer!
Thank you for all your help!
Kym & Yas

I’m sorry it took this long to respond I only just saw this note as I was searching for your contact for a question I had about you guys in Berlin - do you know of a similar operation in Berlin you might be able to recommend to me?
and YES I would love to give you feedback! Truly that was my favorite housing experience abroad. We are VEry grateful! Thanks very much again.

My fiancee and I were in town and stuck for a hotel until we received a tip from a fellow American in Paris who raved about the apartment he let from Special Apartments. Based on his recommendation we emailed the site and got a same day response , which was incredible to start with as it was on a weekend. We arranged to have pick up keys Sunday and it all went completely as described, seamless operation. Again this was a Sunday and we could not believe how easy it was all laid out for us to pick up keys. On top of that, our apartment was beyond perfect. Romantic, central to everywhere we wanted to be , right by the Metro in the Marais. On top of this, much cheaper than any hotel would have been for the same stay. Would I recommend Special Apartments? YES! Expertly run with a large array of apartments in every price range.
And the guys were super nice about directions to cafes and touristy stuff. All in all, excellent.
