Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Sunny, bright and newly decorated, there are two main rooms, both opening through French doors to a balcony with plants, a bistro table and chairs; plus a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with tub and shower, and separate toilet. The bedroom has a new, very comfortable queen size bed. The living room has a new modern sofa that converts to a comfortable, extra-long double bed, as well as a dining table and chairs. All rooms open separately to the entry hall; the two main rooms can be separated, or the French doors and curtains between them can be opened to create one large space.
On the 6th (French) floor with elevator, there are windows with a view in every room including a view of rooftops and gorgeous sunrises from the kitchen. From the balcony one can see the Promenade Plantée, the clock of Gare de Lyon, sunsets, and tree-lined streets.
There is secure digicode entry plus magnetic key/intercom entrance to inner lobby door.
The neighborhood is full of cafés and shops. Rue Faubourg Saint Antoine has restaurants, films, and upscale shopping. Take a shortcut through Passage du Chantier to the rue de Charonne and rue de Lappe quartier where many small restaurants are to be found, including Chez Paul and Pause Café, site of the film "Chacun cherche son chat" ("When the Cat's Away"). The film presents this quartier as typically Parisian, like the people who live there. Bakeries, patisseries, antiques, supermarkets, banks, pharmacies abound in this virtually tourist-free neighborhood.
All Paris sites can be reached quickly and conveniently by nearby Metros. Metro line 1 goes directly to the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Champs Elysées, the Grand Palais. The Marais, in the 4th arrondisement, and the Jardin des Plantes, in the 5th arrondisement, can be reached easily on foot. There is also a bike-sharing rental stand right across the street and a bicycle path outside the door of the building, which makes it easy to take advantage of the new Paris bike-sharing program.
Nearby metros are Ledru Rollin, Bastille, and Gare de Lyon.
