Hi, we are considering a change in apartment for our April trip (this is strictly due to elevator problems combined with health matters). The selection has dwindled since I first booked so I need your help. Can anyone offer input about condition/location for 4 adults of VIP 55 %26amp; VIP 191.
Need to decide asap. Thanks!

#191 on Ile St. Louis looks lovely. The location alone beats #55.

Tough call, although the 191 has a nicer interior. But it costs $100 more per night, which would make me choose #55, which is in a fine location, though not as quiet as the Ile St. Louis.
You also mention health issues, and neither apartment is very close to a Metro station - both appear to be about 1/3 of a mile from the closest Metro. Note also that 191 is on the second French floor, which means the third floor, with no elevator.
Have you tried calling VIP? We just got back from a trip using them, and found them extremely helpful.

I agree. They even offer unsolicited (though appreciated) advice on the downside, if there is one, to an apartment. You should definitely ask them if either apartment is better suited to your requirements than the other.

Which company are you using? have you been satisfied with their units and service?

Thank you all for your opinions/suggestions. VIP has been very helpful going over the available apts that meet our needs with me; thus we narrowed the choices down to these two. In spite of the economy, there aren%26#39;t too many apts left to choose from. We%26#39;ve gone ahead and taken the 191, which we%26#39;re told is in a very central location. At least we now know that our maximum stair climbing is two floors. VIP did tell us that our original choice SHOULD have the elevator up and running by mid Feb. However, it became a question of chancing another breakdown when there are even less apts available, so we bit the bullet now. BTW, they charged $50.00 for the change since we%26#39;re less than 6 months from travel date.
