You can also come by taxi, it will take about 45 min and cost about 40 €.
The owner of this apartment met us at the apartment, took the time to show us around the neighborhood, shared his knowledge of the area and was a sheer delight. The apartment was described perfectly. It was clean, comfortable and perfect for a week getaway in beautiful Paris! We loved the apartment so much we plan to book again next year!

“Live like a Parisian in Paris.”
We lived in Paris like Parisians! That is how we felt about our stay in the Lafayette apartment. Our apartment was and quiet; it is in the interior of the building, overlooking a courtyard. It is located on a street where you will see few tourists and yet it is within easy walking distance of many attractions, and access to every type of public transportation is nearby. Despite proximity to the Gare St. Lazare, we never heard any trains, and if you are are short of time, you can buy almost anything in the train station - but we recommend the local shops as a better choice if you are not rushed; Christophe, the owner, will give you a heads up on where to begin your exploration of the local shops. Many buses begin and terminate their routes near the the Gare St. Lazare and there are 3 metro stops nearby: Europe (the closest), Liege, and St. Lazare (takes some work to learn to navigate this station). In our favorite local cafe we never saw another tourist but we were always made to feel welcome.
The apartment we stayed in was rather minimally furnished. We were there in the spring, but there seem to be plenty of heaters for the winter. The bed was quite firm, but comfortable. We needed to use two cushions to make the futon in the living room work for us and the arm chair is very soft. The wifi and TV/radio were fine. Two warnings: the water gets extremely hot, so use caution if you have young children. Also, the tub in our apartment had quite a high rim so would be a problem for anyone with hip or mobility problems.
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would highly recommend it. It is certainly where we will want to stay when we return to Paris and we will check its availability before we set the dates for our stay - to make sure that we will be able to stay in this apartment again.

“Fabulous experience in the Lafayette Apartment!”
My husband and rented the Lafayette Apartment from Christophe for two weeks in Oct/Nov 2012. Christophe has several rental properties that are all well reported on according to Tripadviser and vrbo.com. He is very professional, friendly, and accommodating. My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay! The apartment is quite a bit bigger than you would think, with a separate bedroom, a four piece bath, laundry, a full kitchen, and a large living area. The apartment is on the inside of a Haussmann era building with big windows that open to a sun drenched courtyard. Very romantic! Because it's located on the inside of the building it was so quiet and peaceful that we almost forgot we were staying in the heart of Paris. The location was a dream; looking back we can't believe that we could afford to stay in such a chic area! The neighbourhood is incredible! There's so much to do. This is the area that Manet and many other artists chose to paint. Galeries Lafayette and Printemps are just a couple blocks away in one direction and in the other lies Rue de Levis famed food market. Needless to say you will eat very well. Our favorite local restaurant was Dome which is located at the opening corner of the market. So many metro lines are available to you that we could be anywhere in Paris within a few minutes. I would recommend booking a shared shuttle to and from CDG airport. It's cheap and very easy! In summation, I've already recommended this property to my relatives and friends. I can't wait to return and when I do I will definitely be renting from Christophe again.
Response: Merci for your sweet and detailed review that will help for sure other travelers to take their decision. All the best to you and your family. Warm regards. Chris
A far better value than a hotel. This apartment was exactly as shown, had a good location, was very comfortable,comfy bed, clean, powerful shower and quite large. Christophe answered all my questions and was a sweetheart. He also arranged a cab for us to get back to the airport. I would definitely recommend this place.
Response: Thank you for taking the time to write this sweet review. Take care. Chris

Christophe was a delight to deal with. He gave us instructions on the use of everything in the room plus a tour of the local area with recommendations for places to eat, etc. We followed his advice and had some excellent patisserie and restaurant meals. The place was very clean and it was easy to get around by Metro. It is a bit far from the tourist attractions but had a very nice neighbourhood feel with great bakeries and some excellent shopping nearby.

“Clean, great location, excellent service from landlord. Top rental choice!”
We stayed at Atlier34 in June 2012. We were greeted by Christophe. He let us into the apartment a few hours early. When we met at the apartment he took the time to take us on a short walk of the neighborhood to show us the area. This included grocery store, metro stop (very close), good restaurant recommendations, and some short cuts. That saved us a lot of trouble figuring it all out for ourselves. The Apartment is very cozy, with the bed and sofa bed in the same room. It was very clean and had a kitchen with dishes and cutlery. Excellent size bathroom with lots of hot water. On our exit day we asked to stay late and he was able to accommodate us for a very reasonable small charge. During our stay we had a few questions and Christophe was quick to respond by email or phone. I would definitely recommend this property.
Response: Merci Charles for your sweet review. Enjoy Las vegas. Best wishes. Chris

“Very Parisian location - surrounded by locals living daily lives”
My fiancee and I loved our stay at The Fashion Room - Christophe was a very nice host who even took the time to recommend the best place to buy shoes - what more could a woman staying in Paris want!!
It was great to have the books and maps on Paris for our use - the internet worked perfectly, the bed was very very comfortable as were the pillows, the location was excellent so close to the Metro, the shower was excellent, the apartment was very clean and the building was very quiet overall. Lots of very nice things to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
We highly recommend this property for other visitors to Paris who like to stay not quite in the busy touristic areas but prefer to be more "local". We were surrounded by excellent cafes, shopping and very close to 2 Metro stations which made it easy to quickly travel to the "must see" Paris locations.

“Great stay at Atelier 34 apartment - highly recommend!”
Recently stayed at Atelier 34 with my husband for our first wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. The apartment was lovely - large, fantastic amenities such as a coffee maker, powerful shower, comfy bed, etc. The location is perfect for exploring Paris - 2 metro stations within easy reach with good links to all sites and the Gare du Nord for the Eurostar. It's also ideal for shops - a bakery recommended by the owner Christophe was lovely plus supermarkets and other shops close for picking up what you'll need. We definitely recommend it and will be getting in contact on our next trip back to Paris. Don't miss this authentic experience!!!
Response: Merci Maria, it was a pleasure hosting you ! Take care !
we had a great time staying in the boulangerie house, it was small but well laid-out, and had everything we needed. Christophe was very welcoming and friendly, and even showed us around the area and pointed out a few nice restaurants. We are hoping to stay in one of his apartments again in the future.

“Boulangerie Room is Awesome!”
We had issues arriving but Christophe was accommodating in every way and even stayed up late to assist with our arrival. This place is small but we required little space and it had everything we needed. The location is great, close to anything you might require and a great starting point for day adventures. Bike rentals, Metro, bakeries, butcher shops, cheese shops, produce, chocolate shops, shopping, cafe's, all within a 2 blocks of the apartment. Apartment is clean and cute and the price was a steal. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to everyone. We also must advise to take a Fat Tire bike tour the minute you arrive, helps to give you some history and a sense of your way around.
