My husband and I are planning to be in Paris the first week in June. I understand that it can sometimes be very hot and muggy. Since I suffer from asthma, I was wondering if anyone has rented an air-conditioned apartment. Im just starting to do a search and have seen a few. We would like to stay in a one bedroom in the 6th or 7th. If you know of anything first hand I would surely appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!

Sally, I have just rented one for the end of July and first of August and had the same concern -- but not for the asthma.<BR> <BR>Look at it at www.sant.com<BR><BR>It is privately owned and rented by someone in San Francisco whom I have had numberous chats with. He has warned that if we are used to super cold air-conditioning, it won't be that, but unless it is a really major heat wave it will keep the place very comfortable and you can keep the place shut up. My bigger concern is usually that I can't sleep with the windows open due to early morning and late at night noise.<BR>This apartment looks very nice and has a great location!

Lest you think my chats were &quot;numbing&quot; that was a typo! I meant numerous.

Patrick:<BR> I will be very interested in your experience witht his a/c apartment. As i have suffered thru Paris with both asthma and street noise. Which district is this apartment in ? could you please add a little more info. Thnks <BR><BR>Buono NAtale

I have described the apartment and how I found it in greater detail in other posts. But you can look at it by going to its own website at www.sant.com<BR>It is in the 6th, right on Blvd. St. Germain in a very nice building, just about 2 blocks from the intersection known as Odeon. There is a picture on the website with a great view looking across the street and up Rue du Four, which angles off St. Germaine directly across from this apartment. Because the traffic could be noisy, I am also glad it is air-conditioned and quiet, although it also has the advantage of some cross ventilation as the living room faces St. Germain, but the bedroom is on the back facing a quiet courtyard.
