This apartment was an absolute great place to stay, and working with them to arrange a changed arrival date was a breeze. The apartment is beautiful, and located very near a Metro station, and Montmarte, and always felt very safe! We will definitely stay here next time we go to Paris (Which hopefully will be very soon!)

Great Use of space Peter!!! What a nice cozy place for a wet and cold trip to Paris in March!!! The tub was a nice secluded spot with plenty of hot water and the art work was especially eyecatching and soothing...after the Metro trips!!
The chill/lounge CDs were especially nice!!
Thanks much for your promptness with everything from e-mail, details of the area, and the refund of our security deposit, very much appreciated Peter!!

Great apartment, very modern and everything made very easy for us with the booking. Very conveniently located and renovated. Only criticism would be that it's two single bed units joined up with bed linen into double bed, but fine if you expect it. Owner was always prompt with responses and very friendly & helpful with booking. Deposit returned very promptly. Would recommend it and would stay there again. Many thanks for the hospitality!

I just wanted to say thank you, my first trip in Paris was amazing and i plan to make several more. The apartment is gorgeous and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. The bathtub is ideal to chill out in after taking in all the sights and the flat istelf is great value for money with a Plasma TV and Kingsize bed included. I will definitely be rebooking on my next trip, which hopefully shouldnt be too long away. Thanks Again-

After learning so much about Peter and Rita?s Montmarte studio: the Luxury, we arrived with lots of curiosity and excitement to be part of the ?fame? for a few days. The studio lived up to it to the last word. We found it highly functional, artful, unusual, interesting, peaceful, elegant, incredible, stimulating and challenging, and all in one. You really don?t need to leave it; you?ll get the whole Paris there through videos, books, maps, the finest coffee along with the super comfortable bed, the soothing bath, the well equipped kitchen. The quality of the studio combined with Peter?s extremely kind, patient, understanding, helpful and informative communication during the entire process made our visit very enjoyable. We will definitely return.

we went to paris with our 4 month old baby at the
end of november and wanted to stay in a place
which felt like home rather than in a hotel. we
contacted peter and our stay was arranged within
minutes. he was very nice and accomodating and
made sure we were well taken care of. we had a
great time. the apartment is super confortable,
everything is made to make you feel good and
never want to come out! we actually didn't go out
as much as usual when in paris and spent a lot of
time lounging at home, drinking espressos,
watching movies and taking baths! we will definitely
be back next time we come to paris!-

Met 3 stellen hebben we voor een kleine week zowel Romantic, Feng Shui als Luxury gehuurd. Een mooie combinatie om bij elkaar in de buurt te zijn en toch privacy te genieten. De lofts zijn ingericht met heerlijke designers gadgets, lekkere luxe waaronder bijzondere baden en fijne bedden. Aan alles is gedacht en de inventaris is compleet! Het duurde even voor we alle bedieningsknoppen onder de knie hadden. Allereerst schroomde ik het volledige huurbedrag vooruit te betalen; ik snap nu waarvoor dit dient. Peter Bracke is een echte gastheer, die het niet moe werd ons van adviezen te voorzien. Super aanrader! Ik kom zeker terug! Hartelijk bedankt! Selene-

Very nice property. Mr. Bracke has paid close attention to detail and has
created a very romantic and smart setting. The appliances, bathroom and
kitchen area are first quality and provide a very modern contrast to the
building. I've stayed in many vacation rental properties and was impressed
with and grateful for the high quality of amenities made available to the
guests. Excellent books, including many guidebooks, a great selection of
DVDs to play on an incredible flat screen TV, the wonderful hot tub (even the
towels, bedding and pillows were very high quality) made time in the
apartment a very relaxing escape from the fast pace of Paris. The building is
located on a relatively quiet street and has easy access to three different
metro stations. The apartment is perfectly suited for a couple in search of a
romantic time away.-

Simply put, this is a wonderful place to stay!! Comfort, location and practicality are my positive focal points in retrospect. An accurate description would be a luxury hotel room on steroids.
After nearly booking a room at a fine Paris hotel I changed course and was fortunate enough to find Peter's apartment. I was hesitant at first about paying a large amount of money up front and sending a security deposit overseas but Peter proved to be an individual of unquestionable character and generosity. My wife and I are better for having stayed in this charming space and for having the good fortune of interacting with Peter Bracke.
If you have any questions about our stay or experience please feel free to contact me anytime.-

It's important to understand why we would unhesitatingly refer it to any
couple visiting Paris: Amenities & Location. The room has a giant plasma-
screen television and sound system ready to put to shame any BestBuy store.
The fully-electrically-adjustable futon is king size (good luck finding that in
any Paris hotel, there's a Miele espresso maker in the wall, fridge, q-t little
dishwasher, and a bathroom that's lifted straight out of Modern Architect. Oh,
who could forget the bathtub? To be short, if this room doesn't put you in a
romantic mood, you're dead. Secondly, location. It's about a 7-minute walk to
two metro stations on separate lines. It was the jumping-off point for all of
our visits . The street is quite and small, and the windows let in a wonderful
breeze. What else could we add? Nothing, except the best part of all - Peter
Bracke. He answered all our questions and made me at home even before I
left our airport J-

Accomodations were high-design, high tech, and of the finest quality. From
a modern kitchenette to the built-in capucino machine to the large Michael
Graves bathtub and fluffy robes, Peter Bracke's attention to detail and
personalized service enhance this wonderful Parisian get-away. We
recommend it highly to anyone desiring a quality, conveniently located
apartment near the heart of Paris. You will want to visit the many incredible
wine shops, fromageries, patisseries, and boulangeries as you walk back from
Paris up Rue de Rouchechuart to l'apartement. We, without reservation, give
this apartment a "10" rating. You will enjoy it.-

Wonderful! My best friend and I went to Paris to celebrate her 30th birthday. Prior to leaving, Peter was wonderfully responsive to the multitude of emails I sent his way. The apartment was lovely - the design was gorgeous and the attention to detail incredible (word of caution for coffee lovers: you will need to be pried away from the fabulous Miele espresso maker!). The neighborhood is charming and many hours were spent exploring (and sampling) the fromageries, patisseries, and wine shops.

Quite honestly, this apartment is dangerous. Within the first five minutes of my arrival, I felt so pampered that I did not want to leave it. I would have been perfectly content to spend the rest of my visit to the world?s most beautiful city sunk deeply in the cloud-like duvet listening to the strings of Verdi?s Four Seasons surround me as though I were in the center of a concert hall. (I could write PAGES about the sound system alone.) My daughter tolerated my self indulgence for about half an hour and then dragged me (not kicking and screaming, mind you) to the nearest patisserie for le pain au chocolat before we set out for the Magritte exhibit. (Chocolate and art?she knows what buttons to push.)
I might say that the photos of the apartment speak for themselves but they really do not do justice to the thoughtful planning and exquisite taste that have create this oasis of comfort and class. Some accoutrements that you cannot possibly determine from the photos include:
? It is AMAZING how the water in the enormous tub stays hot soooo long (and here?s a tip?if you have one of those horseshoe-shaped inflatable airplane pillows?take off the cover and use it in the tub to keep your head afloat so you don?t drown if you fall asleep
? The bathroom has almost every conceivable toiletry that either men or women might need (even designer colognes)
? Also, the fridge and kitchen cabinets have plenty of goodies for a late night snack while watching one of the FIFTY or more DVD?s.
? FOR WOMEN ONLY: The following statement is NOT politically correct but I feel obliged to issue the warning anyway.
The audio-visual equipment has about FIVE of the coolest, most fun remote control devises ever made which was fine for me because I left my husband at home and took my daughter this trip. However, if you are there with a man, you may want to consider making him stay out in the hallway for 5 minutes while you HIDE the remotes someplace where he will never find them. Don?t say I didn?t warn you.
? Finally, YES, the apartment is romantic but it?s not JUST for couples. On previous trips to Paris, I have returned after a full day of sightseeing to tiny hotel rooms and other apartments with postcard perfect views but nothing compared to the luxury and comfort of Peter?s apartment. I would say it was like coming home each night?.but, quite honestly, the hot water in my house just doesn?t last that long.
