About this apartment rental
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.

Great stay. Terrific apartment in private courtyard. Near to bakeries and grocery. Walking distance to everything you want to see in Paris. Two levels great for families with kids especially. Very quiet and private.

Overall, a very nice accommodation in a quiet area of the Marais district. However, the step up to dining area from hall and kitchen are unsafe 'as is', resulting in repeated trips. Suggest a strip of warning paint or tape be placed as an alert and reminder. The basement rooms themselves are very nice, although the steep spiral staircase will be an issue for anyone with mobility issues or young children.Other issues noted include the following: The hosts should provide additional kitchen basics such as paper towels and perhaps cooking oil, some common seasonings, etc. Only one tea towel provided, which seems insufficient. There were no replacement plastic garbage bags although guests are requested to remove garbage to bins outside. There is definitely a need for detailed, printed instructions on the clothes washing machine and dishwasher. We also noted that the dishes in the cabinets were not clean upon arrival.There are an abundance of coffee-table type books (incl. some duplicates) scattered about resulting in a somewhat cluttered look; one or two power bars to facilitate charging of the inevitable electronic gizmos would be more useful.Overall though, I believe we'd recommend the Vivaldi with the changes noted above, and would stay here again.

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.
