Hemingway's Hood between Luxembourg Gardens and Montparnasse

Every thing about the apartment is top of the line. Comfortable beds and living area, well-appointed kitchen and excellent location are but a few of the advantages offered. A quiet, residential neighborhood but within easy walking distance of many shops and restaurants and the Luxembourg Gardens, #8 rue Huysmans is an excellent choice for a stay in Paris.

We thoroughly enjoyed spending a month in Paris and having this wonderful apartment as our base. It was beautifully furnished and comfortable on a quiet street in a nice building with all the touches that make a place feel like home. We enjoyed the well-supplied kitchen and the lovely linens the owner provided. Joe, the apartment manager, did everything to help our stay be perfect. He met us when we arrived and came to see us off. We walked to the Luxembourg Gardens and dined at the nearby local restaurants. Great location for seeing and knowing Paris. I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Paris.

My retirement dream was to return to favorite places and immerse myself in day to day life, in this case as a Parisian. We stayed here for the month of October 2024. This property afforded my friends and I the chance to have that “authentic” experience. The apartment was spacious and beautifully furnished. It has a fully stocked modern kitchen including dishwasher and washer and dryer ( separate units that were easy to use), microwave and coffee maker. The kitchen was stocked with spices and coffee as well as laundry detergent, trash bags and every necessity one typically has to purchase upon arrival to a rental unit. The beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms clean and modern, plenty of hot water and great water pressure. It also included an Italian bidet and Dyson hairdryer. The location is exceptional- 2 metro lines within a 5 minute walk, the amazing Raspail market on Tues, Fri and Sunday was down the street; a small grocery store, pharmacy and outstanding bakery on the same block and Luxembourg Garden gates just about a 7 minute walk. The host was the best. He sent copious notes sharing favorites restaurants, patisseries, museums, etc as well as where go if we had a medical or dental issue . He checked in with us several times to ensure we had everything we needed. We also took advantage of the free nights at the owners Chateau in Normandy and stayed 4 nights - what an exceptional bonus! Highly recommend this property!

The location is amazing and the apartment is beautiful. Unfortunately when we were there there was construction on the road and someone doing renovations within the building that made it quite noisy. We enjoyed our time in Paris!

Beautiful, well-appointed apartment in a terrific location! Spacious, quiet and clean, in a building with elevator. Air conditioning was lovely, and communication with the owner and manager was great. Owner does everything possible to make your stay as smooth as possible. Very accessible to help if anything is needed. The apartment is stocked with all the Paris resources you could imagine. The location is excellent, on a quiet street near the Luxembourg Gardens. Easily walkable to great restaurants, groceries, and wonderful boulangeries. We look forward to returning sometime soon!

The apartment was wonderfully appointed & very comfortable. The location could not have been better. On a side street so very quiet. The Jardin du Luxembourg 5 minutes away was a great bonus. We really appreciated how the owner checked in with us to make sure that we had everything we needed.

This was a fantastic property. Perfect location on a very quiet street. Convenient to everything. Highly recommend this property!

The apartment is clean and you have everything you need. The design is a little bit old but it’s really didn’t bother us. We were 3 women and each of us had her own room. I recommend this property to families, group of friends and I’m sure you love it. Thank you Peter and Joe for wonderful vacation.

This apartment is in a building that was built in 1913 and the ornate detail is fabulous. While very close to everything including excellent bus and metro lines, the neighborhood is very quiet. There are any number of bakeries, bistros, grocery stores and an open air farmer’s market within a few blocks of the apartment . Not to mention that Luxembourg gardens is just minutes away. This apartment is very well maintained, well supplied with all one needs including good linens, kitchen supplies, etc. The manager, Joe, is very quick to deal with any requests one might have.

My family and I had a wonderful experience renting this lovely apartment in Paris. It is centrally located close to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and the Metro. Thankfully it is a quieter area than if you were to stay closer in to touristy spots which are only a short Metro stop away. It is also very close to the Luxembourg Gardens and most amazing gelato shop. Couldn't ask for a better location. The property was in fabulous condition. It was clean, plenty of room for my family of 5, terrific amenities, and everything worked great. We received fantastic customer service from the property owner and the property manager. The manager took time to show us around and explain things and was available if we had any further questions or concerns. If you are traveling with children, which we did, they had several games for us to borrow and having the washer/dryer was great. There is also a very small elevator that was helpful when our littlest kiddo didn't want to walk up the stairs after a long day of walking. We didn't really see neighbors who lived in the building while there. It was nice and quiet, which was lovely. We would highly recommend renting this apartment and when we return to Paris would absolutely stay here again. I miss it already, it was wonderful.
