Beautifully appointed, with a baby grand piano in the living/dining area, original oil and watercolor paintings by contemporary artists, this typically Parisian apartment combines classic charm with modern conveniences. Two bedrooms with top-of-the line mattresses, a fully-equipped modern kitchen, an entry hall stacked with hundreds of CD's and books, (many Paris guidebooks) a parquet floor throughout, two marble fireplaces, and original cieling moldings from 1901.
The master bedroom is in a peaceful all-white color scheme, with a full-sized bed, an antique dresser with inlaid mother-of-pearl marquetry, and a floor-to ceiling window that looks out to a quiet courtyard. The second bedroom has two twin-beds and is decorated with toide de Jouy fabric in red and white. Shutters perfectly seal the apartment from outside noises and light. The bathroom is modern, and has big fluffy towels and a walk-in shower (no bathtub).
The apartment is just a few blocks from Abbesses, the new "in" area of Paris, filled with sidewalk cafés and cutting-edge clothing stores, as well as the Moulin Rouge cabaret, and the Sacre Coeur Church. However, Damremont street is an authentic neighborhood street with cheese and wine shops, several green grocers, a butcher, several bakeries and small, intimate restaurants and bistros.
Two excellent bus lines (80 and 95) and four subway stations (Blanche, Lamarck-Caulaincourt, Place de Clichy and Abbesses) are footsteps away, making the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, the Champs Elysees, and department stores just minutes away. You can walk to the Place du Tertre and get your portrait done, and walk to one of the 3 close-by movie theatres.
You will be greeted by our charming bi-lingual assistant who will provide the keys and show you the apartment. A neighbor, she is ready to share her tips on the neighborhood. I'm sure you'll love our home in Paris, close to all of the famous tourist sights you want to take in.
