The second link is asking if I want to stay somewhere in Mexico, but the first one looks pretty great. I have no, um, standards? Frame of reference? Knowledge about Paris, geographical or otherwise, certainly. But the views and interiors look wonderful.

So long as the lifts work okay, I would go for the 11th floor place over the 3rd floor place, myself.

My basic thoughts on the Paris options:
1) I'm very jealous; I'm so overdue for a visit.
2) The location of the first apartment is probably better if you plan on taking the métro a lot to get around the city and SEE ALL THE THINGS. It's right near République station, which is a major hub; I think 5 or 6 lines cross there. (Also a major gathering spot. All the great protests start there.) Neighborhood-wise, it's nice but there's not a lot; however, it is right on the Canal St. Martin, which is lovely for quiet, contemplative walking à la Amélie.
3) The second apartment is more in the thick of things, not a ton of stuff right there, but very close to some of the best walking-around neighborhoods in the city such as Le Marais, the more lively Bastille, and the lovely Place des Vosges in between. Also, depending on your definition of walkable, anything in the center core (arr. 1-6). This would be better the better option if you want to just wander and soak up atmosphere.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
If it were me, I would go with the 2nd option (3rd floor studio near the Marais) for the more central location.

I want to see a manager about the human digestive tract. ETA: am also envious at the thought of trips to Paris. I haven't seen Seattle, yet, even. Passe or not, maybe I can put together a posse to make some of those things happen.

Thanks for thoughts all. Keep them coming. I’m making my decision tonight.
