Where We Stayed

Teri had a great idea while we were planning the trip: Stay in an apartment. She did quite a bit of research, and found Rentals In Paris, a company that acts as a broker between apartment owners in Paris and people who want to stay in them.

It could not have worked out better! We stayed in an apartment on the 6th floor of 9 Rue de Bouloi, a short distance from the Louvre. The apartment was clean, bright, comfortable, and convenient. It cost us $900 Euro for the week, which was cheaper than any hotel and much nicer.

This gave us a lot of room, a kitchen for cooking, and a location close to everything we wanted to see. The building was very secure-- we used a code to get into the lobby, and a key to get into the stairwell/elevator.

We would definitely stay in this apartment (or one of their other units) again.

Here's the link to the specific apartment where we stayed: Rue Bouloi2. The photos on the website are better than any I took-- it looks just like it! Although I think the bonsai tree must have died... it's not there any more.
