Seeking 2 bedroom apartment help in Marais

Hi everyone-
I always know that I'll find the specific help I need on these boards!
We will be in Paris in May, and I have stayed in the Marais many times- almost exclusively using Homeaway/VRBO with success.
This time around, I am specifically looking for a real two bedroom apartment, ideally with a tub on or very close to the specific streets-- Rue Vielle du Temple; Rue de Tresor, Rue de Rosiers . My budget is about 1700-2000 euros per week.
Am having trouble locating specific properties that work, and am hoping you guys might be familiar with some in that vicinity. We will be there in late May, so I'm begining the search fairly early. Have found some great apartments on those sites, but most appear to be closer to the Beaubourg, Rue de Saintonge or Rue de Turbigo area.
Any help appreciated!

I think this apartment fits the bill - it's a couple of streets west of Rue Vielle du Temple

We rented a different apartment from the same owners - and another frequent poster here has rented this particular apartment and recommended it. The owners are terrific as is the local manager.

We had good luck with airbnb.com in the Marais. Great location just north of the Place des Vosges. www.airbnb.com/rooms/218151
It's not 2BR, but a steep staired sleeping loft for the nimble and a nice bedroom. There were lots of other possibilities nearby when I was looking.

The thing with airbnb is researching the reviews carefully.

Elizabeth's suggestion looks great, too, doesn't it.

Tell them Liz from Toronto referred you - they're lovely people and their apartments are even more beautiful than the pictures.

A little frustrated as I have not heard back from owner of the property, despite two inquiries. I don't want to risk annoyance, but usually hear back almost immediately -- its been three days. Any recommendations appreciated-
