I don't know anything other than what is on the web site, for Ortensia and Narcisse. Be aware that Guest Apartments does not take reservations more than about six months out - that used to worry me, but they won't be renting to anyone else either and it always worked out fine. I always figured that even if they would not commit to me more than six months in advance, it didn't hurt to register my interest, as it were.
Rose sold me because of the small terrace - it really is delightful in nice weather to sit out there with the breakfast croissant, or the evening champagne. That one is also one of my favorites because it has a fairly large kitchen (by rental flat standards, it's huge). Many places (e.g., Tulip) have very small kitchens.

GitteK, that's why I want to pay in US$. It's true that if you have to pay everything up front, it doesn't make much difference what currency you pay--at the point in time you pay it all, the price is locked in and any further falling of the dollar won't matter. The thing is, I don't think that agencies/landlords quoting prices in Euros or GBPs have lowered their prices to offset the dollar's slide (after all, tourists from the world over vacation in Paris). So, if someone's been charging 1750 Euros for the past several months for that apt., it has become increasingly expensive for anyone in the US as the dollar has fallen in value. As I was surfing the internet looking at comparable apartments with rents in either Euros or dollars, it seemed that when I converted the prices in Euros to dollars, those apartments were more expensive.....
