Annecy is a wonderful vacation destination!

The Annecy Suite is in the heart of the Medieval District overlooking the river canal and its borders which were full of life and flowers. The open air "marche" almost occurs next door. This is the sort of location and accommodation that one would expect a high-priced, very experienced travel agent to PERHAPS be able to make available.

Annecy is incredibly clean, beautifully situated, and has a lovely, large park within walking distance right by the lake. The town is very walkable. Historic Rentals provides a wonderfully complete book of household instructions and contact numbers for daily needs and emergencies. A superb arrangement – but be prepared for those circular medieval stairs!

On a side note: I STUMBLED on to the Historic Rentals website. I was seeking another that was close in spelling.... Thank God I did! It could not have been more perfect.

The Cluny Suite helped make this vacation one of our best!

We just returned from a 10 day stay at the Cluny Suite, and my husband and I both agree that this was one of our very best vacations, in large part due to our decision to stay in an apartment and the Cluny Suite in particular. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. We could not believe how large it was, it seemed as though it was recently renovated, and it was so well appointed, from the kitchen to the bathroom to the guidebooks, etc. The only thing we would add would be a few more hangers and that is literally our one and only "complaint." The bedroom is unique and so quiet. We rarely heard any noise from the street or the other units in the building. The location is ideal. So close to amazing restaurants and shops and we felt like we were removed from the touristy area although it was a very short walk to Notre Dame, Blvd. St Germain, Luxembourg gardens, and a single metro/RER ride to Versailles or to watch the French Open at Rolland Garros. We cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we return to Paris. Your description of the apartment is modest – we were thrilled with everything about our stay and will be back. Thanks again.

We really appreciated coming in and having the essentials provided in Paris!

We had a wonderful time in Paris, and the Rosiers Suite was a big part of that. It is lovely, comfortable, and in the most wonderful, exciting area. We really appreciated coming in and having the essentials provided (soap, coffee, tea, and staples, etc.) which allowed us to immediately settle in. The array of guide books also served us well to supplement what we had brought. You said to make ourselves at home, and you made it easy to do with all the information you gave us. Thanks again.

The Cluny Suite kitchen was well equipped...

On one of our last days in Paris, we shopped a local street market for some nice seafood and other accompaniments. I having been a chef in the past, found the kitchen well equipped enough to cook a simple dinner to rival some of the better meals we had enjoyed at restaurants in Paris.

The Market at the foot of Rue Carme and Blvd. St. Germain just 3 blocks from the apartment is amazing. The foods were much fresher and more diverse than my experience at home in Santa Fe. My first trip outside of the US was made very much richer by the rental of your suite. We will hope to rent the Cluny Suite again soon.

We really appreciated the small touches of the Cluny Suite!

We spent 9 wonderful nights in Paris in your Cluny apartment. We really appreciated the small touches (tissues, guide books, kitchen basics, etc.). The whole place is very comfortable and we felt very much at home.

The apartment was actually larger than I thought. Your photos are great, but it was better than I hoped. We found it to be so well located that most of the time we tended to walk.

When we went further afield, we took your advice and used the buses. As you said, It was just like the metro, but with views. Once you have it worked out, it is a breeze. We tried to get another bus map to add to yours since we used it constantly (and practically wore it out).

We will certainly be recommending your company to our friends. If you have any inquiries from Australia we would be more than happy to speak to them if they would like to know more.

Once again, thank you.
