APARTMENT DESCRIPTION:

Le Marais, the old narrow streets, barely wide enough for a car, that navigate through 400 years of 17th century Paris. The Marais, a melange of hip boutiques along the Rue des Francs Bourgeois, the Jewish ghetto of the rue des Rossiers that dates back to the 13th century and some of the trendiest cafes, brasseries and restaurants in all of Paris.

This cross section of ethnic cultures and Renaissance Parisian architecture is home to the Musee Picasso, the Musee Carnavalet and the grandest of all old squares in Paris, the Place des Vosges, a masterpiece of brick facades and harmonious stone arches.

Our recently renovated, two bedroom, two bathroom apartment on the Rue des Tournelles is less than a three minute walk from the Place des Vosges.

This 835 square foot apartment, on the first floor (second floor American with elevator) of a 19th century "Regency" building has been lovingly renovated and restored. The old herringbone floors shine as they reflect the light from the floor to ceiling windows. The grand plaster molding sits majestically atop the 12' high walls, and a gold leaf Napolean III mirror once again hangs above the 19th century marble mantel of the living room.

What a joy to wake up to coffee and croissants at the slate counter-top of our open style, fully equipped kitchen. There are lots of bakeries and food shops minutes from the apartment door. In fact, the largest outdoor market in Paris near Place Bastille on Rue Richard Lenoir is just a 5 minute walk away.

There is a "very comfortable" large queen sized (160cm/63" wide) mattress in the master bedroom and large (90cm/35.5"wide) twin mattresses in the 2nd bedroom which can also be made into a (180cm/71" wide) king size bed. Both bedrooms look out onto a very quiet courtyard.

The 11 sq ft shower of the master bathroom is roomy and comfortable, and the 1920's Metro tiles help evoke a wonderful retro feel to the otherwise contemporary second full bathroom.

Everything was chosen for design and practicality, from the Miele washer-dryer to the LCD television to the code free DVD player. Even the quilts are hypoallergenic white Hungarian goose down. Everything is top notch, right down to the large black and white landscape photographs by American artist, Stuart Rome.

Services included in the cost; local phone calls, cable TV with CNN, BBC and lots of English movie stations, free and unlimited high speed WIFI internet, linens, towels and the final cleaning.

Our bilingual associate will not only meet you at the apartment to give you the keys, she’ll stay and walk you through the particulars of the appliances. And, she'll just be a phone call away if you need any help during your stay.

In the apartment you'll also find our guidebook to the neighborhood; favorite restaurants, cafes, wine shops, bakeries, and markets. You could spend a week in Paris and never leave Le Marais, even though the Seine, the Louvre, Notre Dame and the Musee D'Orsay are just a short walk away.

    • From the moment that we arrived at 62 rue des Tournelles, I knew I had made the right choice. There were four of us, me, my husband, mother and aunt, (mother and aunt are in their early eighties). I breathed a sigh of relief as the big heavy outer door clicked open onto a quite courtyard with timeless light. The inner door to the actual building opened onto a "perfect" stairway and tiny elevator. We could have been in any era at that point. Finally, the door to the apartment opened to reveal a lovely, bright and elegant apartment that we truly enjoyed and relaxed in each and every day. The location is unbelievable----it was our first time in Paris, so perhaps there are other equally well located spots, but truly, we felt so chic and safe. Our contact, Tamara, was so kind and polite and helpful. The Place des Voges, the restaurants, the Chemin Vert Metro literally right around the corner, the neighborhood feel, the peaceful sleeps----we can't wait to return to Paris. Adrienne Spector

    • The apartment was much more than we had hoped for. It was obvious that a lot of thought and effort had been expended to anticipate our every need. It was beautiful as well as comfortable, and, perfectly situated. We were close to many of the smaller museums, great local restaurants, and when possible, walked where we could. Of course, we were able to use the Metro extensively as Bastille is just a short walk away. Our experience was enriched by having a superbly-equipped kitchen in which to prepare the gorgeous provisions gathered from the fabulous market on Richard Lenoir: a food-lovers' paradise. Once again, thanks for your hospitality.

    • Dear Jonathan and Gretchen, Thanks for all the help and info you gave us. The apartment is in the perfect location to use as a home base. It is so easy to get anywhere, with the Metro just a short distance away. It was so nice to come "home" to after a long day of sightseeing! Our family of four found the apartment to be just the right size for us, and so well furnished and equipped. The wireless internet connection was great!We had just a wonderful time on our first visit to Paris, and hope it won't be the last! Peggy and Anwar Bhimani

    • We rented the apartment and studio below and both were perfect. What a treat to be located in the middle of such a cool area and have your own home away from home to come back to after a busy day. Jonathan is a terrific resource and his binder of helpful tips and favorites makes your stay that much more enjoyable.

      Dear Jonathan and Gretchen, Thanks again for all your hospitality in March when we stayed in your 2- bedroom apartment in the Rue des Tournelles. From the moment we arrived, when Brigitte, your representative, concierge and solve-anything expert, met us at the outside door, to the day we left, when she arranged a taxi while the student strikes slowed down everyone else, we felt well taken care of. Some small samples from our vacation in your apartment: Looking out the expansive 2d floor windows, wide open on a spring day, and seeing friends walking down the street on their way to meet us.... Discovering similar tastes in music in your CD collection... Reading a newfound book about Paris in your library, putting it down and walking a few blocks to see the site mentioned in the book, in this case the half-timbered houses from 1350 near the river... Being able, on an impulse, to go have dinner in any one of your neighborhood's terrific restaurants... Being able to walk to almost any destination from the Marais location -- Pere Lachaise, the Luxembourg Gardens, the Musee Jacquemart-Andre... We have already recommended you to neighbors here and look forward to being able to do so again. Best regards, Sam and Deborah Hastings-Black

      Hi Jonathan and Gretchen -- We had a wonderful time in paris. we loved the apartment totally and completely. having the whole thing to ourselves (no kids) was such a luxury! We thought the beds were extraordinarily comfortable. We used many of the guidebooks, especially the little card deck of 50 walks in paris. we ate at several of your restaurant suggestions, including le pre verre, le relais d'entrecote (excellent and fun -- and the best slice of chocolate cake I have ever had in my life -- that was a nice surprise!) and, on the last night, chez janou -- which was a great way to end the week. I can't think of a better part of paris to have stayed in. we loved the n'hood, proximity to place des vosges square, the shops of rue des francs bourgeois, and the picasso museum was quite incredible! We walked the entire city. We were so sad to leave.

    • We were thrilled with our accomodations in your apartment! It had all the charm you would expect from a Parisian apartment with all the modern conveniences to make our lives easy. The location was fantastic. We were able to get around with ease to any of our destinations for that day. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and always felt safe no matter what time of day or night. It really helped make our trip perfect to have a place, such as yours, to relax in at the end of a busy day of soaking up everything Paris has to offer. Thank you for adding to our Paris experience. We can't wait to come back again ! The Platzman Family

    • My wife and daughter stayed at your lovely apartment during our daughter's audition series for The Paris Conservatory of Music. It was a most comfortable retreat for them, especially convenient to the Metro and taxis for travel to the school. We would certainly be pleased to stay there again.
