Located right in the very centre of Paris, in a charming side street of the historic Marais area, this lovely apartment combines the very best of traditional Parisian features, including exposed ceiling beams, with modern comfort and style. This quartier has a delightful village-like atmosphere, with a rich and lively street life, including cafés, restaurants, boulangeries and other food shops, and a local open street market in Place Baudoyer, only a minute’s walk away, and open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. The area also abounds in interesting galleries and boutiques, with the nearby rue des Francs Bourgeois, the only shopping street in Paris open on Sundays. You will also be within walking distance of many of the sights and monuments of Paris, including the River Seine, Notre Dame cathedral, Hôtel de Ville, the Louvre museum, the beautiful Place des Vosges, the Pompidou Centre, and the charming Ile St Louis, as well as the Latin Quarter and St. Germain area, just over the river.
Access to the apartment (50m2) is by security code and up three flights of stairs (no lift). Entrance is into the main living space comprising a seating and a dining area. The interior design is modern and stylish, with crisp clean lines, natural colours, dark wood parquet floor and tall French windows. Old ceiling beams are painted a soothing pale grey, integrating perfectly with the modern designer look. The seating area features a large comfy sofa (which unfolds into queen sized bed as required). Both seating and dining areas are designed to accommodate 4 guests in comfort. The kitchen is semi-open, built into a large recess, next to the dining area.
Upstairs, the bedroom is very spacious and comfortable, with a high quality king-sized bed, fitted cupboards and a full-length mirror. A leather desk and chair offer the possibility of working if required (the apartment has wi-fi internet). The view overlooks the pedestrian square, and double-glazing means that despite the lively central location, the room is quiet. The bathroom has a bathtub and wall-mounted shower, a heated towel rail, a stylish rectangular washbasin resting on a slab of exotic teak wood and a hairdryer. Further amenities include air conditioning, a stereo, cable TV (channels include CNN, BBC, Sky News), a DVD player and a telephone with free phone calls to 70 different countries, including USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Italy, Spain, Israel, China and Ireland.
