Paris Apartment! I can't decide! Your thoughts?
 

These are all priced well, available and seem to be in good areas. The one on Rue Montorgueil seems to be a great location. The other 2 look good and are decent locations.

60 rue du Vertbois - http://www.vrbo.com/28130 - 9 nights, 650 euro

62 Rue Montorgueil-http://www.vrbo.com/81565 - 9 nights, 800 euro

rue de Pastourelle in the Marais - http://www.vrbo.com/161782 - 9 nights, 770 Euro

What would you do?

richardab,

Like I said on your other thread, I would go with the one on rue Montorgueil. It is in a funky and fun little neighborhood. Great location to get around Paris.

Early morning noise could be an issue at Montorgueil- not car noise but pedestrian. But otherwise that location is excellent.

It's kind of hard to choose as there is not much information on the last two. The second one doesn't have hardly any decent photos, unless I"m missing something. I wouldn't rent it just because they seem to be hiding what it looks like. There isn't even a photo of the bed that I can see. It doesn't like like much otherwise.

The last one doesn't have any decent place to eat, I mean no real table, but I wouldn't ever rent a place without a real bed. That foldout couch does not look queen-sized to me, even though they say it is, but maybe it is some distorted camera angle. It's unusual in that it seems to fold out sizeways, which isn't like most fold-out sofas I've seen, but it does not look queen-sized in width.

I think they are all good locations, though, but I guess I'd take the 1st or last if you don't mind the bed and table issue. I would not take it myself because of the bed. I didn't really think the couch looked at all comfortable on the first one, though, but you can't expect a lot for those prices.

Thanks for the input so far, my comments...

I don't mind morning noise too much, I need to get up anyway!

The first one - concerned about the location.

Montorgueil seems like a fun location. I love market food. The owner did send me a few exta pictures. There are lots of restaurants in this area. I wanna see the bed...

The third one - I am not worried about the table. I won't be making Thanksgiving dinner and I am 1 person. They most i will do is eat a croissant or wine and cheese. Is this a boring location? The bed doesn't look too bad.

Anymore thoughts?

Here is another its the one on rue St Martin

Richardab, we recently stayed on Rue Marie Stuart in an apartment off rue Montorgueil and found it to be a wonderful street with lovely restaurants, cafes and food stores. I don't think noise will be too much of a problem it is a pedestrian street generally. It is wonderfully convenient to all the sites of Paris in walking distance. Try out Storers for beautiful pastries and savoury dishes too.

I still haven't booked yey, anymore suggestions?

FYI, I ended up renting through rentparis.com at their apartment at 22 rue Rambuteau in the 4th. i couldn't be happier, at first i thought the apartment was tiny, but I got use to it real fast. The neighborhood is primo, shops, bakeries, cheese stores, market, produce stands, butcher, wine store... everything is right outside my door.

Lat time I was here I stayed in a place at the St Paul metro and rellay liked it, this time I like rue Rambuteau better! This is a very friendly neighborhood!

This is it...

Thanks for the update, Richard. The apartment sounds perfect for you. I'm looking forward to reading more about your trip.

I have so little to report on this trip. I've been here for 10 days and only went to one sight (Versailles). I was sort of here to chill and relax.

I will be posting some restautant thoughts next week and my review of the apartment.

Richard, that's how I'd like to spend my next trip in Paris... just chill and act like a local instead of hitting all the touristy spots.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Richard I think that you are within shouting distance to Le Hanger. You wanted to try it last time but didn't make it, it's still very good.

Thats funny because my apartment was nearly right above it! I could see the doll museum outside my window! Oh yes I have been to Le Hanger, I didn't like it that much....
