Our Paris Apartment is spectacular; it is sunny, 700 square feet, south-facing with the added bonus of a balcony, so you can enjoy your cafe' au lait there every morning. Gaze right and see the Eiffel Tower, with its magic light show with 20,000 twinkling lights after dark!
It was featured on The Fine Living Channel's program 'Around the World in 80 Homes' and has also appeared in Maisons et Décor, a well known French decorating magazine.
Our apartment rental matched our demanding requirements for a great stay in Paris: there had to be a superb view and location in unquestionably one of the best and safest neighborhoods in Paris.
This Paris apartment rental is perfect for two couples; or a family of five with young children.
Enter our apartment to find powder room on your left, with toilet and sink for extra 'getting ready' room. It is tiled in white carrara marble with a gray and pink geometric border.
The kitchen is next on your left; newly remodeled with contemporary pale wood cabinets and pale granite work-tops. A heavy sliding glass panel with simple, sandblasted design slides shut to close off the kitchen, providing an attractive feature when viewed from the living room. Kitchen is fitted with all appliances: refrigerator/freezer, microwave, oven and dishwasher, toaster, etc. With a full array of cookware, you can shop the local market and prepare your own gourmet meals.
Next to the living room is the powder room with water closet and sink. You enter the piece de resistance on your right, the living room. It is southwest facing and has two sets of French doors which open onto a sunny balcony. This sunny double room has beautiful, original oak parquet floors, white marble fireplace and mirror. The view is special: looking down the tree-lined Avenue de la Bourdonnais, over a low red-brick turn-of-the-century school and directly into the trees of the Champ de Mars to the right. Look right and you see the Eiffel Tower, only a block away! A round marble bistro table and chairs sit on the balcony for you to enjoy croissants and café au lait each morning. This is a romantic apartment and the view is especially beautiful at sunset.
It’s wonderful to watch the day unfold below: parents taking children to school, people buying their morning and evening baguettes, coming back from the market with their shopping baskets full, or joining friends for an espresso in the café on the corner. We believe that a great view is an important factor to consider when choosing an apartment in Paris.
It is extremely difficult to find these kind of apartments; we say they must have the ‘Wow!’ factor when you walk in the door. As a result, our selection is small relative to most, but we are uncompromising in our standards.
The living room of our is a double room that we opened up to create a single, spacious room during the day. Special sliding panel doors of maple and sycamore doors were made to open up the room during the day and slide close as needed, making a separate bedroom to sleep two. TV, DVD player and sound system make it a comfortable room for relaxing in after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. Our apartment has a security safe for your personal valuables. We have also installed a free wireless ADSL line for your computer!
The first half of the living room includes an antique bistro table next to the fireplace, useful for working or reading. The round, beechwood dining table is on the other side of the fireplace and expands to seat six. The second half of the living room is furnished with an Empire-style 'lit bateau' daybed that is attractive and practical as it provides comfortable seating during the day and pulls out to make a comfortable twin bed or dual king at night. We believe our guests prefer these deluxe beds to what is generally available in rental apartments.
There is a beautiful antique commode and mirror on the left wall of the living room, facing the French doors. A built-in closet provides extra hanging and storage space in our Paris vacation rental apartment. You proceed down the corridor to find the first bathroom on your right, which has a full fixed shower and sink, tiled in beige Limestone. Washer and dryer are in the closet next to the bathroom.
The corridor widens to a reading room which becomes the second bedroom, to sleep one or two. This room is naturally lit by a large window in the corridor, overlooking the quiet courtyard of the building. This cozy room has built-in bookshelves, lamps, built-in closet and Empire-style wooden daybed. The daybed is similar to the one in the living room, with twin mattress and second pullout twin bed underneath. The beds can be joined to make a king as desired. This is a nice room for quiet reading or napping, as doors close it off from the entryway and master bedroom.
The master bedroom of our Paris apartment with en-suite shower come next, with large window overlooking the inner courtyard of the building. It feautres a dual king bed which can be made up as twins or as a king. There is a built-in closet with television above. All windows and French doors are new and provide excellent sound and thermal insulation. The compact second bathroom is en-suite, with full, fixed shower and handmade sink, painted with flowers. It is tiled in beige French limestone with halogen down lights.
We leave lots of Paris guidebooks for you to peruse during your stay. This is a Non-Smoking apartment. We think you will be delighted to stay in our Paris vacation rental apartment! Please let me know if I can answer any other questions. |
