Paris Arrondissement 4 apartment description

Located in the Marais, one block from the Place des Vosges, this lovely vacation apartment is sure to become your home-away-from-home in Paris. Set on the second floor of a very quiet and charming 17th century building, it is reached easily by a wide flight of stairs.

The apartment shows the highest standard for quality and comfort. It will charm you with designer furniture and touches of traditional French antiques. Splashes of dramatic color pleasantly energize the décor and the newly refinished wood floors shine. Gracious and thoughtful amenities are included throughout. An airy and sunny 520 square feet of space, beautifully renovated and furnished.

The living room has three large French windows facing a courtyard. There is a Ligne Roset sofa which easily becomes a comfortable bed for two. Two easy chairs and an ottoman accent the room's color scheme and modern design. Beautiful, sleek lamps give plenty of light for reading and other activities. Cable TV, stereo and CD player are conveniently located for use in the room. Wireless internet throughout.

The bedroom also has a large French window which faces the courtyard. The Ligne Roset bed is queen-sized with a padded headboard (perfect for reading in bed) and a firm mattress. Linens are 100% cotton and the pillows and comforter are extremely comfortable. The walk-in closet provides plenty of storage space.

The kitchen is large and has an antique table with matching chairs. New countertops, cabinets, ceramic sink and sage green floor tiles create a wonderful environment for cooking and eating. Fully equipped, the kitchen includes a dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker.

The bathroom has a glassed-in shower and bathtub. A towel warmer, hairdryer and plenty of space for your things add convenience to this room.

This wonderful apartment is ideally located on rue Saint Gilles, one block from Place des Vosges in the heart of The Marais, this is the Paris so often see idealized in films and on postcards. The Place des Vosges, the oldest and one of the most beautiful squares in Paris, is a favorite of Parisians and tourists alike - a place to relax, stroll and take in the beauty of the city.

The Marais and nearby Place de la Bastille is home to some of the most important figures and events in Parisian history. Victor Hugo made his home at number 6 Place des Vosges and Balzac and Dumas resided in le Marais. The Picasso Museum, nearby at the Hotel Sale, is home to the world’s most significant collection of his work. The Musée Carnavalet on rue de Sévigné is one of the most interesting of Paris museums. It illustrates the history and development of Paris up to the present.

The bustling nightlife of the Marais is vibrant with its restaurants, club scene, concerts, cafés, and jazz bars. Less than a 10-minute walk will take you to the year-round program of opera and ballet at The Opera Bastille.

You can easily walk to Centre Georges Pompidou, Le Louvre, Forum des Halles, Notre-Dame, and many other Parisian landmarks.

Every Thursday and Saturday morning, there is the large outdoor market on Boulevard Richard Lenoir and a well-stocked, small supermarket, G20, has opened on rue Saint Gilles. Within the neighborhood are many wonderful specialty food shops and bakeries.

Métro Lines: About one block from Métro: Chemin Vert (line 8). About 5 minute walk to Métro: Bastille (lines 1/8/5) or Métro: St Paul (line 1).

We have agents in Paris available to solve any emergencies should they arise.

Last year, I stayed in the apartment for a few days and loved it so much I returned for a longer stay earlier this month. As mentioned in other reviews, the apartment is in a great location with easy access to two metro stations and tons of restaurants, shops, etc within a few blocks. The apartment was well-maintained, clean and very comfy. It's a cozy place that's perfect for 2 people. Will definitely be returning!!

We rented this apartment for 8 nights in October 2013. It was our first experience renting an overseas apartment so I was a bit nervous, especially traveling with my husband who was recovering from shoulder surgery. It all worked out better than I had hoped! Joelle was extremely helpful before our arrival and there was an apartment book filled with great suggestions for favorite pastery shops etc. The apartment was exactly as described...very clean and we felt extremely safe wandering throught the nearby streets. The Marais district is an easy walk to Notre Dame, the Seine, the Louvre. We loved it!

This jewel of an apartment in the Marais is our first choice for visits to Paris. Bright, clean, comfortable and quiet with all the amenities. We just completed our 4th stay here for 12 nights. Feels like home (we wish!) when we walk in the door. We stayed in many other apartments before discovering Le Beaumarais, and none compare. This is the sweet spot in the Marais.

Everything that has been said in other reviews is completely accurate. The size, the location, the great light, the bed...all exceptional! The metro has 2 stops that are close by allowing one to get anywhere in a matter of minutes. Having traveled the world, staying in many accommodations, this one meets or exceeds all expectations. An excellent choice.

My partner and I enjoyed our stay here in the apartment. We generally stay in hotels when away however this time we tried a few privately owned apartment rentals. We were definitely not disappointed. The apartment was very clean, perfectly located and the size was fantastic. Much larger than a hotel room with much more on offer. The pictures of the apartment are current and gives you an accurate insight as to what your are renting. From the moment I booked the apartment until this review, Joelle, the host, was very helpful, sympathetic and understanding to or needs. Joelle even gave up tips and detailed information for transport to and from the train and airports to make the journeys pleasurable. There was even lists on where to eat and buy your provisions to make you stay more enjoyable. Having these lists helped immensely and we felt like a local keeping away from the touristic haunts. The apartment is ideally located close to everything and a convenient metro stop is at the corner if you need. I can confidently recommend "Romance in the Marais" to travellers who are looking for that special Paris hideaway so they can enjoy the city and taste the local lifestyle. Well done Joelle on your little piece of Paradise...

My husband and I spent four nights in the Beaumarais apartment. We have visited Paris many times, but this was our first apartment rental as opposed to a hotel stay. What a great value for your money! We had more space than in a hotel, all the comforts of home (including a very comfortable bed and good wifi), and a location in one of our favorite neighborhoods in Paris. Steps from the Carnavallet and Picasso Museums, four minutes from the beautiful Place des Vosges, and surrounded by excellent local restaurants. It was a pleasure to get a taste of daily life in Paris, starting with a visit to the boulangerie in the morning. Joelle was a perfect host, the source of copious information on many topics, very prompt to respond to inquiries. We would definitely come back.

My husband and 2 kids and I loved the apartment and its location. It was a delight interacting with Joelle and she was prompt with her responses to all of my questions. Her apartment is clean, filled with everything you will need. (My husband used the iron and board that was there!) It was a wonderful experience and we hope to return to the apartment next time and stay for a month!!

A beautiful apartment to return to at the end of a long exhausting day of sightseeing. With all the necessary comforts and an extremely comfortable bed to boot. Ideally located within walking distance of a host of attractions and the Metro close by, for when your feet give way. This was a perfect place to immerse oneself in the Parisian lifestyle. Clean and in a quiet neighborhood we loved the ambiance of the apartment and the Marais district itself. The supermarket across the street was handy to replace those items confiscated in customs. Boulangeries abound so each day starts perfectly, but of course it's imperative to try as many as you can. Joelle was a pleasure to deal with, prompt in responses and more than helpful in all matters.

Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

We just spent 5 nights at this vacation rental. It was our first time renting an apartment abroad, rather than staying at a hotel, and we were very pleased with our experience. We particularly liked the very comfortable bed, having a washer/dryer, the wifi and free telephone calls, and the extensive and incredibly thoughtful written information the owner provided about the apartment, the neighborhood and Paris. The apartment is also quiet and comes with more guidebooks on Paris than one could imagine exist. The owner clearly puts a lot of effort into thinking about what visitors will want and supplying same!

Let me start at the end. Our trip to Paris was wonderful. Our favorite view in all of Paris was waking up and looking out of our bedroom window. Then of course we could move to our living room, enjoying our coffee and continuing to enjoy our view of Paris. We hope to return to Paris, and indeed hope to return to this very apartment when we do. The apartment is as described and met all of our needs. In particular, we found the bed to be especially comfortable. The walk-in closet with it's extra space was a pleasant surprise. We loved the free wifi so that we could keep connected as we wished. It was also wonderful having a super marche' directly across the street so that we could pick up various items as needed. The apartment is in a perfect location, within easy walking distance of so much that we wanted to do. Making arrangements with the owner was very easy and pleasant. Obviously she cares about her apartment, and we go to reap the benefit. Without hesitation, we would recommend this aprtment to anyone.

Owner info

Year Purchased: 2002

About the owner: I was born in France, Lyon and I have lived in San Francisco now for 30 years. I live with my boyfriend in the Castro area of the City. I have an 21 year old son who just graduated form the French Culinary Institute in New York.It has been a pleasure hosting so many nice guests through out the last few years. I am looking forward to have you too! :)

Why the Owner Chose Paris Arrondissement 4:
It is simply the most hip area of Paris, yet full of history, good restaurants and attractive shops. It's centrally located, walking distance to many of Paris' greatest museums and landmarks, and easily accessible by metro. Simply the best area in town.

The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
Designed for American tourists by a French native who has lived in the States for 27 years. I had you in mind. The apartment is very quiet, very comfortable, clean and beautiful. The tub has a regular shower in it (something that you don't always get in Paris). The bed is so comfortable that I bought one for my own place in San Francisco. I've had several renters tell me that it is the best bed they have ever slept in. Moon, my Paris contact is the best!
