This very special apartment (1000 sq ft) is situated in a fine period building, a registered historic landmark, in the very desirable rue Jacob. Entrance is via heavy street doors, with security code, into a lovely garden courtyard, filled with trees. The apartment is at the rear of the courtyard, on the second floor, accessible by two flights of stairs. The location is wonderfully central, and convenient for all the charms of St Germain des Prés with its animated atmosphere, chic shops and galleries, restaurants, cafés and bistros. Just a few minutes walk away is the Rue de Seine and Rue de Buci, with their lively outdoor food and flower market. The décor is elegant and stylish with billowing silk curtains in soft colours at the windows, antique and contemporary furnishings, antique prints and artwork, all set against pale walls. Period architectural details include handsome ceiling mouldings, polished wood floors, antique gilded mirrors, and luxurious designer fabrics. The living room has two enormous sofas, each of which can be made up as a very comfortable super-sized single bed. Further amenities include TV, DVD, CD player and high speed internet connection. A minimum stay of five nights is allowed at this apartment.
