We had a wonderfully-relaxing week at the Fountain House

We had a wonderfully-relaxing week at the Fountain View House in Menerbes. It was cold for few days, so we just stayed in the warmth and comfort of the house. We enjoyed our drives and walks to most of the "villages perches" in the area even though most places were closed, and there were just a few people on the streets.

Thanks again and a la prochaine fois – perhaps in New Orleans this time.

We had a wonderful time, and the location of the Cluny Suite was perfect. It was surrounded by many excellent small restaurants, and the historic street of the Latin Quarter only added to our enjoyment.

Thank you for the ease of reservations, and your friendly, rapid service.

The apartment is in a perfect location!

I have finally got round to saying how much we enjoyed our stay in Annecy. We had some spectacular walks as well as about a year's worth of fondue, raclette, etc.

The apartment is in a perfect location, was comfortable, and contained all that we needed.

The Vineyard Suite was better than the picture!

The Vineyard Suite was better than the picture – comfortable bed and good use of space. George and Jean-Pierre are the perfect hosts! We had a tour of the chateau and loved its classy style. The gardens were peaceful, and the stay made for one of our best vacations ever. We used the pool one day, and used the kitchen often. We also liked that the chateau was in the middle of a great wine region, and within an hour of most of the chateaus that we wanted to visit. We have recommended Historic Rentals to friends already.

We had staying in the Rooftop Suite in New Orleans.

Shirley and I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had staying in the Rooftop Suite in New Orleans. The room was perfect. My wife enjoyed the light every morning when we had our coffee. Being on the third floor, we had a good view of a small part of the Quarter and could see the spire on St. Louis Cathedral. The location was good, and was within walking distance to Bourbon and Royal streets. It was also very convenient having the grocery store across the street. Winston was very helpful and informative. Having lived in New Orleans in the 1970's, it was heartening to see the Quarter in such good shape. We hope to return again soon.

Thanks, again.

The Long View suite was perfect for our needs.

We had a safe return to the UK, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to France – especially our stay at the Château des Sablons. The Long View suite was perfect for our needs. The grounds are beautiful and inviting. We will recommend the chateau, and would definitely stay again.

Thanks again for all the guidance and directing us to great food, markets, the fete, gardens, and making us welcome in your home. We had a great time with you.

Château des Sablons is a hidden gem; charming, comfortable, and private.

I love the Pernety neighborhood and chose to stay there again, having discovered it last summer.

Thank you. I love the Pernety neighborhood and chose to stay there again, having discovered it last summer. This summer I had fun at the Bal des Thermopyles on the rue des Thermopyles. I also went to a lecture on the neighborhood at the vide-grenier. I even walked the back streets on the rue du Moulin Vert to Alésia discovering the Villa Alésia with the artstis' studios, the parks, and the village feel of this quartier populaire.

And yes, I trained myself to take buses and not to reflexively go underground. I look the 58 a lot and others to Montparnasse. The Place de Catalogne behind the gare Montparnasse is interesting too. Very Italian Futurist. I feel like I know Paris so much better now!

We would like to thank Historic Rentals for a wonderful stay at the Château des Sablons.

We would like to thank Historic Rentals for a wonderful stay at the Château des Sablons. Our family of four, including an 18 year old and a 12 yr old, just loved the Garden Suite which was very spacious. The town of Bourgueil was very pretty, and the Tuesday market is a must for anyone visiting the area. We traveled from Australia, and we would certainly love to come back. Just magic!

We enjoyed the Rosiers suite very much!

We enjoyed the Rosiers suite very much. This suite along with the Cluny and Luxembourg suites located on Rue de l’École Polytechnique are in wonderful locations. I'm not quite sure which one we will choose for our next trip (probably not until 2013). The restaurant L'As du Falafel was as described, and terrific. I particularly enjoyed the man who walked up and down the lines collecting for the meal and, if anyone hesitated more than two seconds in ordering, he told them what they were going to eat. The patisserie/boulangerie at the corner of Rue des Rosiers and Rue des Ecouffes were superb. I got a kick out of the cashier, an older man, who beamed with genuine delight when I was able to pay with the exact amount of cash.

We were indeed able to get tickets to La Bayadère at the Opéra Garnier by going to the box office as you suggested. For 10 € each we were seated in a box with a beautiful view of the stage. Problem was, we were in the third row which we had a perfect view of the backs of the heads of the people in front of us. There was a simple solution - we turned the chairs around and alternately knelt and stood, and thereby saw the entire ballet which was wonderful.

The Rooftop Suite is in an excellent location – only steps from all that the Quarter has to offer.

I've been coming to NOLA since 2005, and this is the most enjoyable stay that I have had. The Rooftop Suite is exactly as advertised. It is in an excellent location – only steps from all that the Quarter has to offer. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood, and there is even a small grocery across the street. I hope to stay here again on my next trip.

We enjoyed our stay in Annecy!

We just got back from France yesterday, and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in the Annecy Suite. It was perfect for us. The information you sent was very helpful. We especially appreciated the nice touches such as the flowers on the mantel, and the orange juice in the fridge. The keys are on the way back to you in the mail as of this morning. Thank you for all you did to help arrange our stay. We appreciate it very much.

My sister and I had a marvellous time!

My sister and I had a marvellous time, and enjoyed staying at the Chateau des Sablons even more than we had anticipated. The Garden Suite was beautiful and spacious, with a well-appointed modern kitchen that we felt very comfortable using. And of course, the location was perfect for taking short jaunts out to so many fascinating places: chateaus and charming little towns, great restaurants, etc. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

We have had a great time in Annecy!

I just wanted to let you know what a great time we have had in Annecy, and how much we have enjoyed the apartment. It is in the PERFECT location and, as everyone has said, the view is spectacular. We have only had one side trip - to Chambery - because we are enjoying Annecy so much. The air is so clean, and we love to stroll along the lake. The farmers' markets have been a delight, and it was fun buying food there and having an apartment where we could prepare it.

We have had a lot of rain and cool weather but if it not had been for the rain to clear out the volcanic ash from Iceland I think we would still be in the USA with no way to get here.

I am writing this from the apt so you can see we have had no problems connecting to the internet.

Thank you for the beautiful flowers. They still look good and we have one more day to enjoy the apt.

Thanks again,

Many thanks for a wonderful holiday.

We have recently returned from a week at the Annecy apartment apartment. We have been to many apartments in Europe and this has to be rated as the best to date. The location could not be beaten. We choose to self cater all the time, and every shop imaginable was right on the doorstep: patisserie, delicatessen, butchers, fishmonger, bread shops, etc. The fantastic street market is held on Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday morning, and is just two minutes around the corner. For other groceries there are two Monoprix close by.

The apartment was so homely and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The view of the little river, chateau, roofs of the old town, and mountains was simply wonderful. The apartment is very light and so quiet. We didn't hear a thing from anybody else all week.

We hired bikes and cycled round the lake which was glorious. Of course, we went on the lake and also had a couple of days out to Geneva and Aix les Bains, but were pleased to get back to Annecy on both occasions. Annecy is a very special place and this apartment is also very special.

Delightful neighborhood, comfortable apartment

When we couldn't find anything we could afford in the 4th adn 5th arrondissements, we checked out the 14th and discovered the relatively peaceful neighborhood by the Pernety Metro stop.

Even though you sense a calm atmosphere when you emerge from the Metro, the neighborhood has dozens of cafes, inexpensive restaurants, take-out traitteurs, fromageries, boulangeries, boucheries, etc. The charm of old Paris in this neighborhood outweighs the occasional modern building mixed in. The apartment is small, but its high ceilings and tall windows give it a light and airy feeling. The photos on the website do not do justice to the apartment's overall attractiveness. Someone has carefully thought about what a temporary resident might need and provided amenities like flashlights, sewing kit, extra towels, electric adapters, and shopping bags for the nearby supermarket. A laundromat is next door. The owner provides detailed written instructions and suggestions which are very helpful. The apartment looks over a courtyard with beautiful trees and is absolutely quiet. Unfortunately, you can hear the neighbors next door through the walls, but we mitigated this by closing the bathroom door, and since these elderly neighbors keep very reasonable hours they never bothered our sleep. Historic Rentals, which manages the apartment, did everything right and in an organized fashion. Madame Gelacio, the English-speaking housekeeper, came right over when we had to call her about a (self-inflicted) problem. All in all, we highly recommend this apartment and its neighborhood.

We stayed in the converted Slave Quarter Suite and enjoyed it very much

We stayed in the converted Slave Quarter Suite February 4 - 7, 2010 and enjoyed it very much. It is very cozy and convenient. Winston was incredibly patient with our arrival issues. He even checked in on us the next day to see if he could help with getting our lost baggage. We would recommend staying here to our friends, as well as look into it again for our next visit.
