Looks like a good choice, actually. Hope it works out fine. It is true this isn't prime tourist season yet, not like May through September, probably. I think people who want apartments are somewhat different than hotels, also -- businesspeople won't be renting these apartments, for one thing.

We stayed around the corner 2 years ago - if you want to pick up a few groceries there's a Monoprix on Ave de l'Opera and Rue de Ventadour - supermarket is in the basement.
24 hour groceries/wine east on Rue des Petit Champs 2 or 3 blocks on the south side.

thanks for coming back to let us know - look forward to hearing how it turns out, both the property and the company.
BTW, does it really have two bathrooms? According to the site it has 2 WC's but only one bathroom. Does look like the bathroom has both a tub and separate shower.
Safe travels!

Thanks for your good wishes. And thank you Elizabeth for supermarket info.
Seamus, sorry, when I said 2 bathrooms, I meant 2 toilets - essential for 5 people, especially four of them being kids! All other bathroom issues don't fall into emergency category- they just require patience which is not a bad thing to practice...
I'll let you know how it turns out.

BTW if you don't already know about it, Rue Saint Anne is a place with great Japanese food 
And there is also this intriguing restaurant / boulangerie I want to try out called Aki:

It is a fun area-be sure to go walking in the Palais Royale garden area-it is a nice place to hang out.

Wow, jpie, I checked out the link you posted to Aki boulangerie- thank you. I think that will have to be our first stop... I'm also addicted to sushi, as are my kids, so now location looks even better! Thank you!
