You always do better by calling. Tell them exactly what you want - the rooms are usually different if not unique. OTher advantages are immediate confirmation and they can answer any questions or special requests you have.

Online is the least personal way of communicating with a property should only be considered as a last resort.

I havent stayed there but the Beaugrennelle St Charles is def not in the 7th; it is in the 15th. That name gives it away. I was just by it today actually, I like that neighborhood and one of my favorite restaurants is there.

This is for the couple that is honeymooning in Paris for 5 days. I took three teenage girls to Paris for a week and rented an apartment in the 16th arrondisement. It was so reasonable (compared to a hotel) that I had to refund money to the other parents. We were in a residential neighborhood, where the girls went grocery shopping at the local supermarket, picked up special items at the Sunday market for the dinner they cooked for me at home. They made friends with Madame at the patisserie, so much so that one night she prepared a grab-bag of items that they hadn't tried yet. Our apartment had a couple of bedrooms that looked out on a courtyard, reasonable bath and kitchen, and LR/DR. In the 16th we were out of 'tourist Paris' and so were a novelty in the neighborhood. I paid 900 euros for a week, which is 32 euros per person per day. For more space than I ever found in a hotel. You are more isolated than at a hotel, perhaps, but my landlord lived upstairs, so we were never at a loss. Something to consider.
