Vivaldi, In Paris' Marais, in Historic Palace, Artfully Restored large apartment

A magnificent 18th century palace on a quiet street in the beautiful, and now chic and trendy Marais District of Paris, offers a special apartment for fortunate guests. Enter through a high portal into a quiet and beautiful courtyard lined with boxed Magnolias. Then enter through a private door directly into the apartment. The light from the courtyard enters the apartment, but cunning glass French doors prevent any prying eyes from seeing inside, while the insiders have an unobstructed view of the courtyard. The large entry hall, lined with 18th century stone is still modern and welcoming, with planted lemon trees, interesting antiques from the owners' travels, and attractive paintings. Add to this every modern comfort. The apartment is on two floors with two separate living rooms. There are two master bedrooms on the entry floor each with its own modern bathroom, and one double and one with two twin beds, and its own sitting area, on the lower floor. The two floors are separated by a charming spiral staircase. There is a beautiful dining room which seats 10 easily, a nice kitchen, and much more.
It is located in one of Parisians' most favored locations, the Marais. From the mid-thirteenth century, the Marais became one of the most important aristocratic areas of Paris. By World War II the Marais had declined, but a major effort was made beginning in the 1950's to renovate the area. The main palaces and mansions were restored and turned into museums: the Picasso Museum, the Paris Historical Museum and the Cognac-Jay Museum are now prominent and worthy of a visit. In turn, this building has been returned to its former glory by an eminent designer/developer and a very few privileged owners have apartments in it. The Georges Pompidou Museum, France's national Museum of Modern Art and one of the world's most important cultural institutions, was built on the western edge of the Marais. Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano were the architects of this architecturally revolutionary building. The Marais has become incredibly chic and you will find trendy shops, countless art galleries, and all varieties of restaurants and cafes. You can shop away and dine very well between museum visits!
The Pompidou, Picasso, Carnavelet Museums, the Place de Voges, The Seine, the Cathedral of Notre Dame are a 10 mn walk. You will also find the Opera not far away. Two metros are less than a 4 minute walk, RER a 7 minute walk, 2 bus stops within 2 Minutes.
Please note there are no pets allowed.

A wonderful apartment in a great neighborhood.
Our group of six completely enjoyed staying in this lovely apartment. With four bedrooms (and eight twins), plus a large dining table and three bathrooms, it is large, comfortable, very quiet, and gives you a sense of its history. We loved our stay!

Wonderful VRBO. Beautifully decorated apartment in a quiet area. We came from a week in Germany (family of 5 adults) and found a clean laundry mat within about 500 feet. The VRBO management company and the owner were were wonderful and responded quickly to any inquiries.

Great location, quiet neighborhood
Location worked very well for our stay. We were a group of 5 60+ with 2 30-yr olds, and we walked to Notre Dame and the Louvre areas. Metro stations are close (within 10 min walk) in several directions. Neighborhood is quiet, especially at night. The apartment itself is lavishly decorated. More than I usually like, but I appreciated the effort. You enter on ground floor, which includes living, dining, kitchen areas as well as 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Basement includes another living area, 2 large bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Basement bedrooms were great for sleeping. Cool and dark and quiet. Beds and linens super comfy. Slept so well! Only issue was spiral staircase to get to basement — EXTREMELY tight and steep. A normal size adult had to walk up and down carefully. We would not let my 89-yr old mother go down them. Not sure how we got suitcases up and down, but somehow we did. Hosts left a gift basket with snacks and wine, which was a lovely gesture. They were attentive to my texts and calls. The safe in the closet never did work, but we had no issues. Wish they had left a roll of paper towel and more toilet paper, but we survived.

Wonderful property/great location
This property had great separation of space. Our son and daughter -in law had their own private space downstairs and my husband and daughter had our own private spaces upstairs. The only downside was that the bathrooms and downstairs had some moisture issues. Hopefully the owners will address those soon so that others can enjoy the terrific location. We were able to access three different Metro stations form this location, which made siteseeing super easy. Loved it!

Great location fun place to stay
It's hard to find a place in Paris with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, but we found a nice one here! This is in a great location, and it's incredibly clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows are fantastic and the showers are perfect after a long day touring. The dining room allowed us to have a fun meal together as a group and we were able to make a fabulous bouillabaisse in the kitchen. People have written about the challenge of the spiral staircase, but honestly, you'll find those in a number of restuaruants in Paris. One suggestion would be to include a tea towel for washing up the dishes. Thank you for a lovely stay. This was a lot of fun.

Great Location. Upstairs is wonderful. Circular stairs leading to downstarirs was tight and small
The property is great. The upstairs bedrooms and living room are very nice. We had no idea that the only way downstairs was a very small circular stairway that was difficult to go up and down let alone with luggage. And there were ceiling fans for the upstairs bedroom but not overhead for downstairs. The showers were great. Plenty of room and hot water. Could have used more towels. The gentlemen who showed the place is very nice and thorough

OLD WORLD PERFECTION
Six adults spent six wonderful nights at Vivaldi. Beds comfy and linens crisp and clean. Music system well stocked, but string quartet music enhanced our 18th century surroundings. Small kitchen exceeded our needs since we only ate breakfast at home. Fresh pastries and fruit available in less than 5minute walk as early as 6:30 AM. Awesome clean fast and uncrowded laundromat 5 minute walk too! Location is perfect for main metro stations and many premier Paris attractions. Quiet neighborhood and flat. A++++++!

Great Marais Option
Our two families (4 adults and 3 kids) stayed here for almost two weeks in July. The apartment was in a great location close to two different metro stops, lots of restaurants and other sites. We found the neighborhood very Parisian so we felt like we were locals. The apartment it self is good size and is as described. Two bedrooms on the main floor and two downstairs. To get downstairs you have to go down a very narrow spiral staircase, so we let the kids stay downstairs and spent most of our time upstairs. There's a little living room, then separately a large dinning area attached to a kitchen. Everything was comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Room for All
We all loved the property and appreciate the ample space to relax after seeing all the sights. Our family of 7 spanned from 70-15 and the property fit everyone’s needs. We kept grandparents upstairs so that they did not have to navigate stairs. We really appreciated Michele meeting us at the apartment and showing us how to use everything in a cheerful and welcoming way. Also appreciated her giving us guidance on the neighborhood. Grocery store was right around the corner. We enjoyed the key pad entrance into the property as we never had to worry about a key and if members of the group wanted to come back early there was no worry! We would certainly stay at this property again.

Cozy stay in a fun neighborhood with a large group
First of all I would like say that the booking process and check-in was fantastic, seemless. Overall we had a great stay, I loved exploring Rue de Bretagne just a couple blocks from the apartment. The restaurant Le Taxi Jaune, just across the street, was a gem. We were a group of 8 friends and were very comfortable. The beds are large and the bedding was cozy. Plenty of towels for 8 women. The kitchen is small but we enjoyed a few evenings sitting around the dining table eating cheese. My only complaint would be that the downstairs was a little musty. Some people are more sensitive to this so It could be an issue or maybe not. Overall having 4 large comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms is hard to find in Paris and it accommodated us well.

Paris in Marias district
The apt is beautiful and the neighborhood was nice but we were so busy touring the sites of Paris we didn't tour the neighborhood except to get to our destinations. The owners/managers left helpful notes throughout the place that helped us navigate their beautiful home. We didn't have luck getting our clothes dry and a tea kettle might be nice addition to heat water as the microwave was also a bit confusing but neither of those restraints are major. The bedding was upscale, the house was spotless and 6 adults had room to visit each other or find their own cubby. One other note that wasn't a problem for us but could be a concern for others is two bedrooms are down a very steep spiral staircase and there are no windows at that level, otherwise the place is as advertised. Thank you for making our first visit to Paris welcoming and comfortable!

Great
It was a great place for a group on the move. Perhaps the best part was the attentiveness and responsiveness of Arthur. We had a few follow up questions - even some unrelated to the maison - and he was most helpful. The staircase to the two downstairs bedrooms is narrow and tight. Though we are in our fifties and sixties, that space requires good mobility. It is fine for young people or agile older people. There are two upstairs bedrooms and two baths, so it was spacious and easy. The weather was hot, hot, hot during our stay and there is no AC. Downstairs stayed cool, but upstairs needed fans. We did not do much in the kitchen, other than make coffee and put together a cheese platter; but cooking would be tricky in such a tiny kitchen, but not impossible. When I am in Paris, I am not doing my own cooking at all. The location is great. Loved it and would recommend. It accommodates a group rather well. Would be really good for families or girls/guys trips.

Surprised and disappointed
Beautiful old Villa with exposed stone and very nice to look at, however very difficult to live in. The downstairs very difficult to navigate the circular stairwell but once there the rooms were comfortable and bathroom usable. The upstairs bedrooms were very small and offered little privacy. Bathroom in the Master was ok but the other one meant exiting your room and going thru the entire house to get to it. Sitting area small but usable.....the kitchen .....well we did not use it really other than washing the glasses in dishwasher .....we presume that all needed items might be in this area.....but no order to it nor instructions on how one might use some of the ones we might have used. Biggest disappointment was the lack of outside sitting areas.....inside courtyard very nice and offered security but no furniture to use and only drew loud ire of upstairs neighbor when we tried to use it to smoke. The garden area ......nice to visit if you wanted to walk to it......short walk.......but totally useless to renters. No seats and more ire probably if went over there to enjoy a smoke. Have been to Paris a few times and the area is fine.....walkable to local Metro which all should learn how to use as it is the way to travel since the traffic in the city is difficult. This Villa is really suitable for a small family to share but not for the 4 couples that we were part of .....could not really handle us properly. Paris is a magnificent city and we shall return but unfortunately not to Vivaldi.

Disappointing
My friends and I, a group of 7 retired women, recently spent 7 nights at this property. We often travel as a group and typically stay in a home/apartment that allows us to do some meals "in". While the ad for this property said the kitchen was "functional", it was far from that in our estimation. The kitchen is half the size of a normal galley kitchen. This very small space also included the clothes washer. It did not include a full oven, but merely a small convection oven. There was virtually no available counter space for food preparation. A full bathroom was at the end of the galley kitchen. The kitchen in no way met our reasonable definition of "functional." In addition, two of the bedrooms and one bathroom are in the stone basement of this "palace." The area was not only difficult to climb down into on the narrow spiral wrought iron staircase, but it was very damp. In fact, we found mold growing on the ceilings and some of the walls. The caretaker installed a de-humidifyer upon our arrival so we assume other guests had noticed the dampness prior to our arrival. Worse still, the narrow spiral staircase was the ONLY means of egress from the basement bedrooms. I do not know the laws in France, but this would not likely be a legal rental in the United States. When I mentioned our dissatisfaction to the property manager during our stay, she dismissed my comments stating she had clearly disclosed the conditions of the property. Perhaps she should try using different words in her ad that better convey the property's shortcomings.

Vivaldi - Marais Review
Multiple layers of management as the people coordinating our rental were not the property owners. Rental liason's were wonderful and very responsive. Unit is a bit tired and spiral staircase is a hazard for most adults. Also steps into dining room and then steps down to kitchen. 2 of 3 showers were tubs with HIGH clearances and 3rd was shower only but not floor level (big step up). For people with mobility issues, beware. I have MS so sensitive to mobility issues. Having the steps taped, may help? My older sister took quite the stumble in the kitchen and she does not have MS! The lower level was horribly musty after the deluge of rain to the point of hazardous to health. The owner's rep were not very responsive. We had unbelievable difficulty with the keypad lock to the point we could not get in/out the door and spent an inordinate amount of time, trying. On the 3rd day of the rental, we got a key (thank goodness). I recommend a live demonstration for renters!! The written instructions did not cut it and being told it was our user error was not well received. Location is wonderful and other occupants seem to be commerical. Very quiet and felt safe. Having a place to gather was a bonus for our group. Didn't feel this rental was good value for the money given all of our issues. It was available last minute so served our purposes.
