Paris boutique apartments/hotel… Kitchenette & some outside space for baguette, wine & cheese!

Citadines, Fraser Suites, and Adagio are three hotel chains offering rooms with kitchens.

Hotel Louison has a lovely apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. https://www.louison-hotel.com/chambres. It’s in the 6th, not their preferred location, but is well located. A few years ago I gave 2 family members a trip to Paris. I put them up in what is now La Clef Louvre https://www.discoverasr.com/en/the-crest-collection/france/la-clef-louvre-paris?utm_source=google&utm_medium=gmb&utm_campaign=LaClefLouvreParisbyTheCrestCollection&y_source=1_NTg1OTcwNzQtNzE1LWxvY2F0aW9uLndlYnNpdGU%3D and they loved it. No balconies and not in the 4th or 5th. In 2014 (so long ago), we stayed in the appartment at Residence Henri IV. https://www.residencehenri4.com/rooms Nice spot in the 5th but no balcony.

October weather is not always conducive to enjoying balconies and terraces, especially in the later half of the month. Given the scarcity of accommodation with such features, I would treat this as a "nice to have".

I have rented from Guest Apartment services before and they're great. Maybe shoot them a note of what you're looking for and see what they can offer. https://www.guestapartment.com/

Without the budget the suggestions are shots in the dark. I like Guest Apartment Services. Another agency to consider is Paris Perfect, specifically, their apartments on Place Dauphine. Paris Perfect bought an old hotel and renovated it into a number of apartments available for short term rentals. Depending on your point of view, one great thing about that is that you have no locals in the building who are getting annoyed by short-term rentals. The budget will have to be in the over US$600 and more likely US$1,000 per night range for these apartments and much of October 2023 is already booked.

The budget is around 350 Euro a night. I looked at Guest Apartment Services and they look ideal, so have sent them a message. Thank you so much for your help!

Friends stayed in the Richelieu apartment through ParisNiceHome recently and were very pleased.
