7 Rue du Vivivier is a marvelous find! My husband and our 3 sons (13, 12 & 9) stayed here for a week in March. The upstairs loft-like area is perfect for teenagers/young kids. The apartment was in a fabulous location; we loved walking around the corner to the market and to grab a night cap at Cafe Central. It is also a very short walk to the Metro. The wi-fi, washer and dryer, and umbrella stash were also terrific perks! We had a little confusion getting the code to the main door and also getting the key to the apartment, but this was quickly solved when one of Alexandrine's neighbors (across the courtyard) phoned Alexandrine and helped us. The only other issue we had was that I discovered I am severely allergic to birds; while the pet birds were not in the apartment at the time, the bird dander was still a huge factor. I switched beds 4 different times until I found the one farthest away from where these pets normally stay. This allergic reaction was, of course, in no way the hostess's fault, but it did make for some sleepless nights and difficult breathing. Otherwise, we would absolutely stay here again. It is quaint, cosy, unique, and conveniently located. Merci, Alexandrine!!
