After several inquiries, tons of research (as you can see here, Paris Apartments), we've contacted and contracted for this apartment: Luxurious Air Conditioned Flat -Center Paris - Centre Pompidou. I've had several pleasant e-mail interchanges with the owner, have gotten feedback from previous renters and received approval from Sammi (hope Jake agrees). A little nervous that the a/c is only in the living room, but there are fans in the bedrooms so I think it will be all right. It's a new location for me, but on a public square and high enough up that I'm hopeful for minimal traffic noise. Plus, it's the least expensive apartment we've looked at by about €400.

Now, to start organizing activities, research restaurants and book the airfare!

What a great view! You lucked out with that apartment.
I am debating splurging on a luxury apartment in Athens - it has a terrace with a stunning view of the Acropolis but it is far bigger than we need. These are 'happy problems' aren't they?

Congratulations! I've just started looking at places for a trip this summer with my brother's kids - maybe I'll just glom onto your research!

Love the view, too - I like ellen's term "glom" - I think I am planning to glom onto everyone's research myself, because you all do it so well.
