Located in the 4th arrondissement, the heart of the Marais, our one bedroom apartment offers guests a sophisticated blend of traditional Parisian and contemporary style. The apartment is just a couple of minutes away from the Metro station St. Paul, making it easily accessible for both travel to/from the airport as well as your Parisian city travel. Should you prefer to walk you are only minutes away from the Seine, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and Centre Pompidou – not to mention all our neighborhood favorites such as the Place des Vosges, the Picasso and Carnavalet museums, the Jewish heart of Paris, and countless boutiques, restaurants, and bookstores. On the third floor of a typical 17th century building, the apartment features an open layout where the traditional poutres (original ceiling beams) have been exposed and, along with the parquet floor, finished in a rich, chocolate brown. The whole apartment is suffused with natural light from large, south-facing windows. The completely renovated and redesigned apartment consists of a large living room, a fully equipped modern kitchen, a dining area, a separate bedroom, and a full bathroom with shower and bath. Carefully selected furnishings create a space that is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and practical. The sleek modern design of the open kitchen provides all amenities for the gourmet cook as well as space for extra storage. Among the amenities you will find a 4 burner stovetop, dishwasher, microwave/convection oven and refrigerator as well as coffee and espresso machines, an electric hot water kettle, and all the tools you need to prepare everything from simple breakfasts to gourmet dinners (there are wonderful food markets in the area). The dining table adjacent to the open kitchen accommodates four guests. The living room features a full size pull-out sofa which sleeps two adults, a variety of coffee tables, a leather armchair and a built-in bench which serves not only as an entertainment center but provides seating for guests and additional storage. Cable TV with major international channels and Ipod player as well as a phone with unlimited local service are provided. You will also find a well-stocked selection of books and maps about Paris and France. The bright and airy bedroom has a queen size box spring and mattress as well as excellent closet space. In addition, a custom-built work area is equipped with an IBM laptop computer giving you access to free high-speed Internet.
