Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 3-6)

Charming, spacious, sunny, completely renovated, nicely furnished, 120 m2 (1300 square feet; which is one of the largest you will find in Paris for short term rental), duplex apartment with panoramic views of the historic Le Marais District. Perfect for a couple with friends or small family.

(Apartment previously lived in by American owner who understands American standards of comfort: i.e. individual gas heating, lots of hot water and closet space !) The apartment is tastefully decorated with a mix of contemporary and antique furniture and modern art and photographs.

The apartment is on the 5th. floor without an elevator. ( Up 1 floor to the mezzanine, down a hallway and then up 4 short flights ). Not a difficult climb if you are in decent shape but can be a problem for babies, the elderly or people with mobility problems.

The apartment manager will greet you upon arrival and help you carry your bags up the stairs and, if necessary, back down again at departure.(SEE COMMENTS IN GUESTBOOK BELOW, that is probably the best recommendation you can get !)

  • My friend and I rented this fabulous apartment over the Christmas holidaysm and I highly recommend it. It was spacious, extremely comfortable, equipped with everything we needed, and very WARM - which we loved on the 30 degree days. The stairs ended up being much less a problem than we anticipated. Making the rental arrangements with Annabelle was easy and professional. I have rented VRBO apartments all over the world, and this is easily one of the best I've stayed in.

  • This apartment was a perfect fit for our stay in Paris. The location is excellent and the apartment is a very good find for Paris for size, quality, and location. Owners were excellent and so was the concierge and his wife. It could not have been better, we will come back again.

  • We had four people in this roomy, well kept apartment and loved the location in the center of the bustling Marais district. Miguel and Annabelle were very helpful with pre-arrangements. The district is perfect for walking to a variety of activities and very convenient to enjoying many cafe's and shops up and down the quaint streets surrounding the apartment.

  • This is a beautiful and well-kept apartment. We stayed here as a group of five for a week in February, and found that we had plenty of room. Annabelle is wonderful in every way, and was always available to answer all of our questions over email. The apartment is very well located, very secure (with a concierge who always popped out to ask us about our day or to offer us directions), and extremely quiet. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this apartment.

  • This apartment is just wonderful and Annabelle and Miguel are great! This trip was my 3rd to Paris, for work and pleasure. The location was wonderful for sightseeing, getting to the Metro for work, and for seeing much more of Paris than if we had been at a hotel the entire trip. The accommodations were first class, and very comfortable. The building is also so quiet, and the neighbors very friendly. We met 2 neighbors who were gracious and very kind. I would highly recommend this apartment. It is comfortable, in a great area for dining, shopping, and walking to other arrondisements. Thank you for a great stay!
