La Résidence Picasso - 4º piso

I stayed at Residence Picasso for 8 nights in September 2010. The flat is exactly as shown in the photos : clean, bright and charming.

The flat is located near numerous metro stops, restaurants, markets, and shops. The flat is so well located I found myself walking to most of the sights and attractions. The neighbourhood is fantastic and as a solo (female) traveller I found the area very safe, even late at night.

The booking of the flat was easy, and Residences-Paris were prompt with their e-mail correspondence prior to my arrival. Once there, the owner of the flat, was very accommodating, easy to get in touch with, and was available to answer any questions I had.

I would recommend this flat, and hope to return soon.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Residence Picasso during our visit in Paris last April. It is a lovely apartment in very nice location. It’s a fully self-contained apartment equipped with everything we needed. It’s very clean, sunny and quite place.

Warm thanks to Vladimir for excellent organization and making the reservation process simple and fast.

I was in Paris in September 2009 and stayed at Residence Picasso for about a week. It was my 3rd visit to Paris and this time I wanted a place to feel "at home". Residence Picasso is located in a nice quiet street in Le Marais (3rd arrondissement) and I found it relatively safe to come back to at night.

The owner of the apartment, Oreste, was there to greet me upon arrival and showed me everything around the apartment, and yes, everything works. The apartment even provided a mobile phone for use during my stay which I found to be most handy for my contacts in France.

It is a fully self-contained apartment equipped with a modern TV, wi-fi and electrical appliances (the only thing missing was a washing machine) and indeed, it had everything that I needed. There were ample linen and towels in the apartment and a nice big wardrobe. My stay was extremely comfortable and as the French say "le quartier est très agréable et animé". Public transport was easy to get to, there are quite a few Metro lines serving the area (all within walking distance).

The area is lined with small individual boutiques, cafes and restaurants. As well as cafes and shops, it is also within walking distance to many places of interests : Place des Vosges (the oldest square in Paris), Musée Picasso, Centre Georges Pompidou, Musée Carnavalet etc.
I basically walked everywhere on foot. It is an ideal location for a sole traveller if you don’t feel like venturing too far.

The weather was just nice when I was there so there was no need for any heating or air-conditioning. The apartment is very airy when the windows are left open in the evening. I found it handy to have a big "La Poste" (post office) and supermarket around the corner.
It’s a very nice neighbourhood and I even met some wonderful people in the quartier.
I felt very "at home" in this apartment and will not hesitate to re-book it should I return to Paris.

Merci beaucoup Oreste for helping me with my luggage and making me feel so welcome.

We enjoyed our stay at Residence Picasso... It was convenient to all the sights, metro stations and restaurants. The apartment is
quite small but it worked for us.

We recommend Vladimir and his service. Prompt, professional and we will use him again for our next visit.

For this visit to Paris, I wanted a change from the "see everything, quickly" style of traveling that I had done in the past. Residence Picasso, on a quiet street in the Marais, gave me this opportunity. It was quiet, clean, easy to get to, and gave me just the experience I was looking for. After a few days, I got to know the neighborhood (and a neighbor or two); not just where things were, but the rhythms of what was happening, where, and when. For a small studio it had everything I needed (the pictures and description are quite accurate). It was also convenient : Place de La Republique is very well served by Metro lines, Rue de la Bretagne is a terrific neighborhood shopping street, there are little parks nearby, the Monoprix is a good(!) supermarket (and there are other, smaller shops closer). It is within an easy walk of several wonderful museums (including the Picasso and Pompidou), and Notre Dame is also easily walkable.

I would be very happy to stay there again.
