Paris - where to stay

God looks after fools and children.

I'm to old to be a child but man i have some of the greatest "fluke" luck in the world, it doesn't seem to matter what it is but basically i always seem to squeak it in and everything works out perfect.

So basically after hunting around for various hotels (we were planning on staying in paris for 1 week with 3 adults) or various furnished apartment rentals we absolutely scored in the area/apartment we ended up staying with eve though we started looking for something totally different.

We found the apartment through http://www.parisaddress.com/ though orginally were looking to stay on the "left bank" because thats where it is cool etc but after spending 2 weeks here in 3 different locations i can tell you that you might want to check out the Marais area

Basically the whole apartment for 7 days was only around 1,000 euro so less than $US400 for the week per person.



It's on the 4th floor of a pretty narrow stair case but faces a super quiet interior court yard on a small quiet side street but while still very close to shops, supermarkets,food etc so worked out perfect.

Google maps - 11 Rue Beautrellis, Marais, Paris, France

Basically because of it's location on the Number 1 Metro line (Bastille or St Paul were our closest stops - http://www.aparisguide.com/maps/metro.htm ) it made it supereasy to traverse east /west through paris and then jump on the appropriate north/south metro if and when we eeded to change.


Cheers,
Dean
