Location: Paris Arrondissement 2, Paris, Ile-de-France (Paris Area), France, Europe (Within walking distance from all major Parisian attractions)
Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Live as a local, with all international comforts, in a newly renovated architect designed apartment (Caroline Hentschel DPLG),smack bang in the centre of Paris, near new and trendy rue Montorgueil (For those of you who have read "Almost French"-by Australian author Sarah Turnbull- we've been unintentionally living the live version as a Franco-Australian couple in the same area of Paris).
Our apartment is easy to find being conveniently located within 1-3 minutes walking distance of 3 metro stations, including direct connection to Gare du Nord (Eurostar terminal) and also close to Chatelet/ Les Halles (direct connection to CDG airport) and a taxi rank is near by. There is even a bike and rickshaw place which has just opened up downstairs.
Once you arrive, you won't need to worry about transport because you can easily walk to the Louvres museum, the Georges Pompidou Center, the Marais area, Palais Royal and loads of Paris shopping bars and restaurants.
At the end of the day, it's easy to relax in our modern minimalistic light apartment, but still typically parisian, with it's 18th century beams, which gives our (your) home a very cozy feeling. You've got all modern conveniences, internet (Apple G4) / free international phone to contact home, and TV and DVD etc (all listed below).
A feature is our garden balcony (with optional sail) where it is lovely to sit out and overlook all the roof tops of Paris with a nice glass of wine or with your "café et croissants" in the morning (we're on the 5th floor - no lift - easy daily workout, save money on gym pass!).
Upon arrival, Julien, Noella, Jerome or Vincent (who speak English!) will welcome you after your journey and be happy to answer any questions you may have. (They will then also be available for you during your entire visit, should you have any further questions).
73 has been a perfect home for us (Australian classical singer/ music theater director and French journalist/ doco maker) and all our international friends and family...we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we have!

Dear Joanne and the girls, we are so happy you all found a 'home away from home'. This is the biggest compliment that anyone could give us. Thank you. We hope you'll all be visiting us again before long. You were wonderful guests! Warmest Regards, Liz et Albert. (PS If you set the washer to "2" it gives a "quicker 45min cycle"..sorry, we didn't realise this earlier to tell you!)
