Great location in the 14th ..

We loved walking and getting to know the 14eme in Paris. The apartment was clean and had lovely light when one opened all shutters. Bed was comfortable; we had everything we needed. Hostess is a perfect communicator and very responsive via text. Lots of small businesses around for good cheese, bread, staples and eating out when one wanted. We loved the choice.

Lovely quiet apartment

The best part was the proximity to a wonderful bakery and to the metro station. The street is very lively, but since the apartment was off the courtyard, you couldn’t hear the noise. It had an air conditioner, but after the first night we were fine with just the windows open. Even though there was construction on the building, we weren’t disturbed at all. Although the apartment is small, it is well equipped. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful apartment in the Bastille District

My mom and I stayed in this apartment for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The apartment was pristine (very very clean). In addition, the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, pans, dishes, etc. Our host greeted us and gave us an overview of the area and attractions to do in Paris which was very helpful. The metro stop down the street was safe, easily accessible, and gave us access to all of the attractions that we wanted to see during our time in Paris. Would definitely stay in this apartment again on our next trip to Paris!

Bastille for the Olympics

We (myself and my two children ages 10 and 12) just finished a 7 day stay here during the Olympics. This charming apartment was absolutely perfect for the three of us. Washer/dryer was a necessity, and worked overtime as this was week 2 of our trip! The neighborhood is wonderful, and we ate dozens of pain au chocolat from the boulangerie across the street. The metro stop is literally steps from the front door. The apartment manager was incredibly kind - checking us in personally and providing wonderful gifts that really impressed my kids! She also made sure to check with us several times during our stay. Even my tween is raving about our stay - would absolutely book again in Paris!!

A Dream Come True!

I had been dreaming of traveling to Paris since I was a girl. Finally, my whole family found an opportunity to go. My husband, our daughter, and I loved living like a temporary local in a real Parisian neighborhood. Rue de la Roquette is a very busy street with a lively nightlife, but as soon as we were behind the many doors to our apartment, it was quiet and peaceful. The Cobblestone staff was out of this world. They gave us fantastic guidance, but were hands off enough that we could experience our Paris. In addition, I can not recommend the photo shoot enough. Ask the hosts about signing up for a photo shoot with David. The most fun we had in Paris was chasing the perfect Parisian light as the sun was going down. David took us all around town, with camera in tow. We saw things we’d never see on a tour. We had an absolute blast and have the best family pictures! I’m already dreaming about our next trip. ❤️

Appartement tres bien placé

Très bien situé avec plusieurs cafés / restaurants a juste à coté de l’appartement, ainsi que plusieurs « street food ». Très vivant, mais aussi calme grâce à l’appartement qui donne sur arrière-cour. Bon accueil et communication avec le locataire, propre en bien aménagé. Nous sommes restés une semaine, et je ne trouve vraiment rien à reprocher

Great location and setup for a long stay

We stayed at the apartment for 3 weeks and found in conveniently located and set up nicely for the long stay. The washer/dryer was particularly helpful, as was the separate bedroom, plenty of clothes storage, and dining space. Nadia was very helpful in getting us set up and recommended nice restaurants nearby. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the ongoing construction to the atrium access to the building and stairwell needing further repairs.

Cozy, quiet, convenient

Great location, quiet, sparkling clean, lovely decorating, felt like we were neighbors. Great guide books which we used everyday. We walked over 12K a day and bed was comfy. Close to bus lines and metro, market and bakery, restaurants and amenities. Wonderful service and responsive to questions on the app, able to leave bags last day and pick them up later. I will stay at another Cobblestone location next time I’m in Paris!

Charming apartment

The property is charming and is located in close proximity to transit and within walking distance of some major attractions and pretty much everything you need is steps away. There are 37 well worn steps up a spiral staircase which I hadn’t realized when I booked it as I had been under the impression it was on the ground floor. I do have mobility issues but with the help of friends was able to navigate. Consider that if booking. The property is clean and has everything required to make your own meals. It is also pretty secure with electronic code and key fob access before you even get to the apartment which is double locked.

Nice, clean place.

Cute but small. Shower is small. They should put a comfy chair in the living room since there is only a tiny couch. Overall nice , clean space. Bed should be replaced, very lopsided.

Everything was clean and the location was great!

The location can not be beat. Very close to the Metro. Even though it is on a busy street, it is so quiet inside that we all slept wonderfully. The home was also very clean.

Beautiful Parisian Apartment

We enjoyed our stay in the Bastille area apartment. The space was small, but it fit our needs. It was well stocked with all that we needed and in a very convenient location just steps from the metro. The only thing we had to get used to was the lack of AC, which is typical in Paris, but not what we are used to. We were also there during one of the hottest times of the year. It did cool off at night, thankfully and fans were provided.

Fantastic value & location

This is a charming property in a vibrant neighbourhood. Lots of great cafés and restaurants within walking distance, fantastic market nearby, super close to metro but surprisingly quiet. The only drawback was that it was very hot, even with the fans in the apartment.
