Paris Apartment #110PAR
14 ème - Montparnasse / Rue du Moulin Vert

April 2013

Living at rue de moulin vert made my stay in Paris a true french experience. The ambiance of this cozy, well designed artist flat lifts you in the "french mood" immediately. Especially the unique bedroom as well as the "old fashined" bath tub gives you the impression of being in a different world...... and when you walk over the beautiful wooden parquet you can sense that this place has been hosted by good people only.

December 2012

Very nice apartment. Good location in a very good area (there are many shops , minimarket, cinema , restaurant) . Strategical position with stop Alesia at 5 minutes by walk (line 4 , one of main lines).
The apartment is "parisienne" ! anyway for young people is ok , the bathroom can rapresent a little problem for someone (for us not so much) because there is no classical shower , but bath tub. Moreover the bathroom is in old style , i think to preserve a tipycal french style of '50 or '60.  Perfect heating plant, very warm apartment, no extra-charge for our 6 days. The kitchen is small and  essential but everything is ok , with all you need to cook. The bedroom small but  very quite, little bed , maybe for tall people not so ok . Matress so and so but anyway i slept really very well . Towels and bed sheets very clean. Perfect staff services, correct , you can trust them , really. I could come back in this apartment next time and i suggest it for who journeys with friends , for young couples, for young families. i can say i'm satisfacted about everything . Enjoy your stay in Paris !

We had a wonderful time at this apartment. We had Christmas in Paris and the apartment was perfect. The location was great being just a block from the Metro and near a wonderful corner bakery, The apartment is clean and bright and has Paris charm. I would recommend this apartment to everyone. Michelle was wonderful and waiting for us to arrive to give us the key and answer any questions we had. Very sweet woman and speaks English very well. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!

Tolle Lage, sympatische, unkomplizierte Abwicklung. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

April 2012

Beautiful loft apartment. Renovations to the exterior were happening during our stay, so the outside of the building did not leave a good impression but the interior of the apartment was more than expected. Kitchen is not large but manageable and the tub could be modified to have a shower curtain to prevent splashing when showering - other than those points I would recommend this apartment and also stay again. There were two couples and thought it was comfortable. Michelle was very pleasant and friendly as well.

Thank you for your kind feedback!
Renovations to the exterior have been accomplished and also the interior has been repainted and fixed, you can now enjoy a fully renovated apartment!

March 2012

Overall it was a great place to stay. The neighborhood is wonderful and makes you really feel parisian. The apartment was close to the metro and there is a grocery store around the corner. The apartment itself was small but adequate for two people. The small bedroom was cozy and the enormous windows were fantastic. Nice and quiet. The only reason it doesnt get a 5 star is that it is a little shabbier than the pictures indicate. It could use a little paint in other words. Nothing dirty at all, just a little shabby. I would still stay there again in a heartbeat. Great value and a nice place.

Thank you! I'm going there right now and I'll double check on the paint and general issues, I'll get this fixed asap. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok I see what you mean. Some things are fixable, there is some peeling in the kitchen and in the lobby, we'll fix that asap. Some things can take time, for example the building's stairways also start having a little peeling, that was done ca 6 years ago and I'm not sure the rest of the building owners are ready to redo it just yet. The sink in the kitchen and the bathroom indeed are old, but we don't want to change them because they are valuable, restoring them is apparently something nobody we've asked for is able to do. So that won't change at least for the moment.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hey, the apartments has been fully renovated inside and outside now!!

January 2012

The apartment is well furnished and equipped.
Location very nice. At my next visit in Paris, I intend to re-use of the apartment. I recommend :-)

November 2011

What I said about the apartment and the quartier are very objective: it would be very difficult not to appreciate both enormously. This part of the 14th is a revelation I have to say. It is a real, bourgeois, not bobo, not touristy, neighborhood, with good restaurants, and nice walks - and the bookstore around the corner is wonderful! I have lived in the 16th, 7th, 6th, 11th, and 10th, and occasionally stayed in the 13th and 18th, and I think that Alesia hits the right balance.

Thank you again for your help with the apatment and for contributing to a wonderful stay in Paris.

Thank you also for your kind offer for a discount, I think that the next time in Paris will be during the summer or next year.
Your site is super!

This is an amazing little apartment, very well-kept, charming, full of light and joy that I wholeheartedly recommend. It is great for 1-2 people and possibly a small family, and it has anything you might possible need for a short stay. The living room with its double-hight windows is very relaxing and the small bedroom upstairs is quiet and cozy. The neighborhood is more than convenient, it is thoroughly pleasant, with good small restaurants, shops, food markets, and hidden architectural surprises. Metro, buses, and, at a short walk, the tramway will get you anywhere in Paris, with the extra bonus of staying in non-tourist neighborhood. I had one of my most pleasant stays in Paris - one of dozens short stays over the last 8 years - and since I know the city pretty well having spent a good part of my life there, I can say that both the apartment and the quartier are fantastic! Thank you to cities reference for making my stay and work easy and bright!

October 2011

Yes, I am enjoying the apartment greatly, it is amazing, it has a light, cheerful energy that got me from the moment I walked in, and is carrying me through! You are lucky to have it! I also love the neighborhood that I had never explored when I lived in Paris, and I am thrilled by the architecture, especially the 20s and 30s buildings around here.
Mikaela was very nice and helpful, and I am very glad I made the decision to get the apartment: thanks!! I will definitely recommend it to any living soul I know who travels to Paris! 

Tout va tres bien et j'adore l'appartement et le quartier, super!

Perfect location, oozing charm, great service from agency. Bathroom quirky - but loved it, and the bath tub was magnificent.

January 2011

beautiful appartment, good location, easy access, easy whay of booking and checking in/out, easy paying, clear

November 2010

Clean, compact & classy. Loft bed comfortable and pullout good too. small clothes washer w/good spin cycle & drying racks; small tv & bean bags; footy bath (keep hose totally inside tub while running water). good local shops incl market, boutiques & bakery. Pack light & shop; great metro run on #4. Enjoy

September 2010

Perfect Parisian loft. Is is attraction on it's own. Coming back from long walk through the city to this perfectly located (away from busy hasty downtown street) was a bliss. We felt like Paisans living in Paris. That is what we loved about it. The whole experience was a just amazing.

June 2010

I'd love to give a good review - everything was perfect and we loved and enjoyed our stay :)

June 2010

Great place to stay and get a feel for the city. There are narrow stairs to climb, so keep that in mind - but Paris is for walking...so just add the stairs to your total. Enjoy the location, its clean, very comfortable for a family of four - close to a Monoprix, so we saved some money by cooking at home, and we saved a lot of money on transportation, since we were close to all tourist spots. Loved it and recommend it!!!!!

January 2010

The apartment was wonderful--quiet, and perfect for watching the comings and goings on Moulin Vert. I loved sitting in the window and writing as life went by. We also loved the area. With luck, we can come again sometime.

And my child and I took great pleasure in the paintings, drawing along with them.

December 2009

Zwar ist die Wohnung hübsch und gut aufgeteilt, Spüle und Waschbecken sollten jedoch ausgetauscht werden da alt und heruntergekommen. Nostalgie ist schön aber es sollte gepflegt sein.
Bessere Isolierung der Fenster (starker Luftzug) wäre wünschenswert. Ansonst gute Lage.

November 2009

Guten Tag
Vielen Dank für die Willkommgrüsse und die Nachfrage.
Ja, wir hatten, gerade auch dank der schönen Wohnung in der rue du moulin, eine wunderbare Zeit in Paris. Die Lage der Wohnung ist ideal, zentral und doch ruhig gelegen. Die Metro und die Busse verbinden in Kürze alle wichtigen Stationen und Orte. Die Wohnung ist hell und luftig und geschmackvoll ohne viel Schnickschnack eingerichtet. Sogar in der engen Küche kommt man sich dank eines grossen Fensters nicht eingesperrt vor. Jedenfalls haben wir fast immer selbst gekocht und konnten uns mit dem vorhandenen Material und Geschirr gut arrangieren. Gerne behalten wir die Adresse für einen zukünftigen Aufenthalt in Paris bereit.
Dennoch wagen wir eine kleine Anregung: Geschirrschrank und Küchenkasten grosszügig ausmisten und eine geringere Anzahl von intakten Tellern und Tassen etc. einräumen.

September 2009

abituata a viaggiare, e a dovere stare a Parigi per qualche giorno di lavoro, questa è da lontano , la sistemazione migliore che io abbia trovato.
L'appartamento è pieno di " Charme", Angela che , ci ha accolti è stata gentilissima e puntualissima, la collocazione dell'appartamento è perfetta, (metro vicino, zona tranquilla, piena di cinema, ristoranti e supermercati)
tornerò.

July 2009

Nice apartment in a very nice part of the city. The apartment is small (the kitchen is very small), but everything is functional. I stayed with my wife and two daughters and we were very comfortable. Grocery, bakery, bank, post office, everything you need is within a 1 1/2 block of the apartment. Also, one of the best things about this apartment is that it is 1 block from metro line 4 which is a main metro line. You can get to 75% of the places you will want to go in Paris with 0 to 1 line transfers from line 4.

July 2009

die ausstattung war prima, die wohnung leise, hell und sehr sauber. leider funktionierte der dvd spieler nicht, was für unsere kinder etwas schade war. sonst: wirklich zu empfehlen. und die bäckerei auf der ecke richtung rue alesia ist ein gedicht.

What an incredible apartment. This place transformed our stay in Paris. We cooked every night (which saved us so much money!) and had such a great time doing it--there is a great supermarket 5 minutes' walk from the apartment, which we went to almost every day. There is also an adorable bakery a few minutes' walk which we treated ourselves to every now and then. It is unbelievably spacious: the ceiling in the main room is incredibly high, with little stairs leading up to the wonderfully cozy bedroom and cute bathroom. It had a delightful view on the street below and the charming building across the way, which has countless little red flowers on picturesque French terraces. It was, overall, one of the best choices we made. We will always remember our stay in Paris because of this wonderful apartment.
Also, Angela, the keyholder, was SO nice and accommodating, making us feel instantly comfortable. And for all internet-lovers, there is free wireless, which is a fantastic plus.
The only con I can possibly imagine that could present a problem to some is the location. It is about a 15 minute metro ride from all the major sites in Paris. If you want to stay in the more touristed center so that you can walk to most of the sites, then this could be problematic, but for us it was exactly what we were looking for. We would sightsee all day and then just return to the apartment in the early evening, so it wasn't problem it all. In fact, it was nice to get out of the crowded hubbub and go home to our quiet neighborhood each day. It really completed the apartment experience to be in a real Parisian neighborhood.
All in all, not a single problem, and I could not recommend it more highly!

Questo appartamento riassume in se' tutto il fascino parigino.Sobrio e originale allo stesso tempo, vi si respira ancora l'atmosfera di un atelier (testimonianza ne sono un paio di quadri). Rientrando la sera dopo una giornata di cammino per le vie e gli straordinari monumenti di Parigi è facile abbandonarsi alla fantasia e immaginare i pittori al lavoro nelle stanze lasciate ancora intatte come un tempo ma dotate di ogni comfort. Ottima posizione, quartiere piacevole, metropolitana a meno di un minuto (reale) a piedi. Molto al di sopra delle aspettative, piacevolissima esperienza.

January 2009

INTERNET - good; KITCHEN - dreadful. Tiny, poky and hard to clean.cooking equipment inadequate. Cutlery and crockery are stored in the living room which is VERY inconvenient.; BEDROOM - stuffy, cupboard-like alcove/loft. Too hot. Access to double bed from one side only. Bed linen is coarse and cheap. Owner needs to take a trip to Ikea.<br ; LIVING ROOM - heating is entirely inadequate. Windows are single-glazed only, so we were lucky that our time there was very mild (14 degrees C). Winter visitors would prob spend a lot of extra money on heating because apartment is draughty and badly insulated.; BATHROOM - dreadful. Wall next to bath is rotten and makes showering impossible.Baths only.; LIGHTING throughout apartment was dim and totally inadequate; PUBLIC TRANSPORT ACCESS - excellent
OWNER REPLIES I guess you can't make everybody happy, Rosalind. I wonder how comes you post this six months after your stay and not when prompted, feel free to contact me directly. You are the second Australian disappointed about the place. Please allow me to spend a word about this. Paris is a crowded place, we have nowhere near the space you guys have in your beautiful land. Kitchens are small, bathrooms are small... unless you double your budget or more this is as good as it gets. KITCHEN. The description says 'small' and there are pictures, this is the size we have for kitchens in Paris for apartments of these dimensions. We have bought some more pots, pans, cutlery. Pots and pans are stored in the kitchen, the rest is stored in the living/dining room. At the end of the day this is where you are supposed to eat.; BEDROOM. Stuffy? There is just the bed and the window and a bedside table. Too hot? Didn't you just say the heating was inadequate? Couldn't you just open the window? This is confusing at best. I'm afraid bed linen is IKEA already, not the cheaper ones though. LIVING ROOM. Let me spend a word on the single glaze complaint here, your countryman below was complaining about the sink for example. We are talking about a historical building here. The 4mts high winter balcony in iron and glass built at the end of the 800s has a great value and the mairie of Paris would thankfully sue me if I dared change that with double graze plastic and alluminium windows. The same goes for the sinks and the bath tub, they have been used by Fernand Leger over a century ago, we are talking one of the most important painters in world art history. I beg whoever would rather have silicon and alluminium to just ask me tips before booking, there is plenty of more modern alternatives on Paris Reference website. Rosalind, never we've charged anybody extra money for heating and you are one of them since you used an equivalent of 100 euro in utilities for a total rent cost of 500! You were indeed a winter visitor in January. Why all these contradictions? BATHROOM We have put tiles behind the bath tub and the sink, it is true it used to peel off every 4 to 6 months, but now this is all set. Mind you, there is a shower fix, only it is best used sitting. Rosalind, we both know you created a leakage from the shower to downstairs. We've dared telling you but never charged you anything. A little more attention on your part would have saved us this conversation I think or our silent acceptance of your damages. This is your way to thank us for the trouble. Well... thank you.

We had some nice days in Paris, and one of the best things was the end of the day; tired and exited.

Tercera planta sin ascensor. Escaleras pequeñas e impinadas. Arrendatarios muy amables y correctos. Muy bien equipado. Muy bien comunicado.

July 2008

RUE DE MOULIN VERT was a PURE DREAM. The moment I entered the flat I could sense the spirit of life in Paris. With a very delicate and special taste all the rooms have been decorated in a sense of purity and excellence. Walking over the old wooden parquet which could tell endless past time stories the huge old window welcomed the bright sun shining in. Turning around the best should unfold upon me. The steps leading to the second floor of the maisonette made me feel like a little queen. A bath room with an old fashioned bath tab was the ultimate hit for a foam bath to come. A peaceful heavenly sleep was guaranteed in the cute sleeping cabinet providing an overview over my most favorite Paris backyards. Last but not least even the toilet had an exciting view to offer, allowing you to observe the pigeons sitting on the chimneys indulging the sun setting.
So THIS FLAT could not be topped by anything for me ..... except the delicious greasy croissants from the bakery at the corner of rue de moulin vert and rue des plantes.... another HEAVEN!!!!!!

I have to admit that this was my first internet booking ever and I am glad to write such a positive feedback today. The services offered by parisreference.com were beyond my expectations and gave me a secure and professional feeling regarding any question appearing. A fast immediate response was guaranteed at any time.
I herewith show my highest respect for the outstanding excellences this homepage is offering. As soon as my next vacation is coming up I know that Paris Reference will make another dream come true for me.

July 2008

Wir möchten uns vielmals bei Ihnen bedanken. Wir haben uns in Ihrem Appartment sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage der Wohnung war optimal und wir haben 4 wundervolle Tage in Paris erlebt.
Die Buchung und Abwicklung klappte perfekt.

June 2008

Excellent apartment!!! Suitable for 4 persons! Very confortable, quiet and and very well situated near Alessia metro station. You can also go to the city centre in 10 minutes by bus 38!
Wireless internet connection went excellent!
Angela who is in charge with the apartment is a very pleasant and helpful presence!
Hope to come back soon!

June 2008

Well located in real Paris, near Alesia Metro Station. Enough room for a couple plus two kids, although kitchen is really small. Very nice and helpful staff.

June 2008

Angela was an absolutely delight. Prompt, helpful and so, so sweet and kind. And you I can thank heartily from all help and assistance in our planning. It could not have been better. Angela´s husband picked the key at noon on Monday, so even that went perfectly fine.
We loved the flat. It was tidy, comfortable, full of light, handy for travelling. There was everything we needed and the choice was excellent value for the money. The street was quiet and surroundings very pleasant - this means a lot, as at the airport we met a Finnish family who never slept for three nights due to the traffic and other disturbing noise. We slept happily as little pigs! Found the boulangerie and had the first enjoyment already early in the morning.

August 2007

Rather eccentric aparment in an excellent location but the refurbishment leaves much to be desired.
: Odd sanitary arrangements
: Very poor Kitchen
: Shower with no screen, curtain nor means of supporting the shower head
: No water proof wall treatments
: Very difficult stair to negotiate
I doubt we would consider it again in spite of the excellent location

January 1970

Beautiful apartment and a very nice location! We had a very good stay and we hope we can come back in future!
