Paris Apart. 2 bedrooms?

I've had two trips that were scheduled and cancelled due to hardships and timing. Now a friend found tickets for only $500 rnd trip air france boston to paris.
Her SO will be joining us so we thought if we could find an apartment in maybe the 4-5-6-7
It must have two bedrooms but I've been looking getting bleary eyed
as we hope for one $2000 a week at the most but the problem is, everyone I found had only a shower. One of the two others wants a full tub. Any suggestions?

I am sorry I don't know how to make this a hyperlink, but here is the apt we stayed in, it has a bathtub, a bedroom in the loft ( double bed) and a double bed in an attached room, I believe the door shuts. It is up a stair case. The bathroom is separate form the toilet, which is nice. It has a washer dryer and computer. It was very near the metro station and there was a market within walking distance. The owner, Phillepe, was a peach and will show you everything, as well as has detailed instructions for everything. Seemingly there is not view, however there are skylights and you can see the Eiffel tower from them, as well as the top of the Arch De Triumph from the kitchen, so nothing terribly senic, but still fun. There were only 2 drawbacks for me, one was the WC was down stairs form the bedroom and I am a once a nighter and I am going alone on this next trip for 3 weeks. So it made sense to look for something that was all on one floor, and smaller. The other thing was that while there is an elevator there was still a flight of stairs or so, however if you are interested and this troubles you I would contact the owner as he said when we were there a couple of years ago that they were going to install a elevator to the top.

Here are links to two apartments that fit your needs. I have no experience with them--I liked their looks so have added them to my list for future trips.

http://www.vrbo.com/123825 It was reviewed somewhere on Tripadvisor, I think.

http://www.city-apartments.org/apartments.htm Not sure where I found this reference.

Good luck. It's great that you're going back. Love that airfare price.

swiss. I sent the same two to the others but one is a fifth floor and the elevator isn't working which might deter one of the two others.
For me, my thighs can always use a workout
Thanks to all of you.
MUAH!!!

Mimi, just a reminder that Vacation In Paris prices are listed in dollars, not euros.

The first says in the caption to the photo of the 1st bathroom that it has a bathtub and shower. Best to verify that, since the tub doesn't show in the picture.

The second, under overview, says rates are 1400-2200 Euro. Didn't know when you are going, so I though it might work.

I will look through my lists of apartments and also will ask our friends in London.. they are always popping off to Paris for a weekend or more and they like apartment stays better than hotels.

muchas besos to you
Scarlett

oh Mimi!~~ Yippeee for you! So glad I came over to the Europe Forum just to dream! You are going so soon!

I wish I could recommend an apartment but the one we stayed in was 3 bedrooms with two showers.
