Just spent a week in the Rue Vieille du Temple apartment and it was great! There were 4 of us: me, my sister in law, and our two girls. There was room for us all and we were quite comfortable in the space. The furnishings are attractive and modern, the beds are quite comfy and the location is superb.
Xavier was very helpful and friendly, answering all our needs. We needed more towels and he immediately brought them over. The dishwasher door had a little issue and he promptly fixed it. Great service!
A few words of caution: While the bathroom is modern, clean and nicely appointed, the space is quite narrow. I am not sure that a big man could fit in the shower. It was okay for us and we were happy to have good plumbing in Paris! Also, the loft, where my daughter and I slept, is so cute and a really efficient use of space. But I am 5' 7" and I could just stand at the peak of the sloped ceiling. I didn't mind and my daughter loved staying up there!
The kitchen is very nice and we used it but it is limited. I don't think many people are doing a lot of cooking there, but why would you when you have so many options for eating out?!
Overall, we loved our time there. We went daily to the little cafe down at the corner. There is a great creperie up a block on the Rue des Rosiers, along with a highly touted falafel restaurant. There is an Amorino ice cream shop just a few shops down the street that has really yummy flavors that they serve in cones that they make look like roses of ice cream! I recommend the Monoprix market on Rue de Rivoli for basics and it is excellently air conditioned which was a bonus for us during a week of high temps.
Thanks for a lovely week in Paris!!!
