I haven't used that site, it looks like a convenient way to reserve, and there are some discounts.
I'm not a big foodie so don't seek special restaurants that much, and of course, don't know most of the dozens they list. YOu might just go by the ratings and reviews, that's a lot of info.
In any case, Perraudin and Le Petit Prince are pretty good in the 5th arr. Chez Jenny is decent in the 3rd if you want that Alsacienne cuisine.

I used it for several reservations before our trip. The only one that had a promotion going was le Reminet, and there were no issues with the restaurant honoring it. (A promotion was not a factor in my dining decisions.)
I also called 2 restaurants that do not take online reservations, and using LaFourchette was much easier!
What price range and type of food/ambiance are you looking for?

Micheline - How was your stay at 60 rue Quincampoix? I am looking at an apartment there for a stay in October.
We stayed on Rue de la Verrerie in the 4th last spring and really liked the feel/vibe of the neighborhood.
Was it noisy at night or early morning? Weekend late night noise from the street?
Not sure if we would get the same vibe as we had last year, where we really felt comfortable. Apt is owned by same owner and we loved working with him.
Thanks and any neighborhood suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi DebitNM We really liked the studio we stayed in. It was larger than the pictures showed. we were very comfortable there but there is a club on the first floor so it was pretty noisy at night. Sylvain was a great host. Although it was close to everything the neighborhood is not my favorite. I have stayed on rue des Rosiers and in the Latin Quarter and prefer those locations.

Hi me again. I just realized that I remember when you wrote that you were renting Sylvain's other apartment. Wasn't there a pretty large cleaning fee? I just read one of your posts where you say there was no cleaning fee. I thought you mentioned negotiating a better price. I tried to rent it after reading your post and that' s how I ended up getting the studio. I've only seen pictures of the apartment but I think you will find the studio to be much smaller but still great for two people.

We paid no cleaning fee for the larger apt. There was no negotiation on the price, we paid the listed amount. Did you pay a cleaning fee for the studio?
How bad was the noise from the club? How late did it last into the evening?
I didn't realize that you actually stayed in Sylvain's apt; thought it was perhaps another rental at same location.
Was there noise from the elevator? It looks like it is right behind the wall where the bed is located.

I think it was the third (French) floor. There was no noise from the elevator. And no noise from the club itself but noise from the patrons standing outside taking a break was definitely an issue as their voices really carried until approx 1 a.m.
I guess I read someone else's post re the cleaning fee. We did pay a fee but that was last June and maybe it is now covered in the rent.
It is very close to the Pompidou. Even though it is not my favourite location I would still recommend it and may even stay there again.
Where did you find the listing? I only heard about it when I inquired about Sylvain's other listing and he sent me pictures.

It is now on vrbo. I didn't know it was his listing. I sent him an email about the larger apt. I was also browsing vrbo and found the studio. As I read the comments, I realized it was his. Any chance we could correspond via email instead of on here? IF so, same name at gmail dot com
