American writer’s Paris home combines perfect location, charming surroundings and Parisian elegance with US-style comfort. This cozy Left Bank apartment is on rue Mabillon, a quiet, small street in fashionable Saint-Germain des Prés. It is on the 5th floor (4e étage) of a small 1841 historic building, with new elevator. Its lovely wide-open views create a calm, luminous environment.

Architect-remodeled and designer-furnished in 2001, it is 45m2 (approx. 500 sq.ft.), with rustic red-tile (tommette) floors, unlimited hot water, recent wiring, individual heat, and electrical systems. It’s equipped with everything needed for long term occupancy in Paris.

Unlimited wireless high speed Internet is available via the TV cable at no charge. Telephone line with voice mail allows unlimited calling (charges paid according to actual usage). Thoughtful touches: hairdryer, phones in living room and bed room, iron, ironing board, extra lamps, electric fan.

Writer’s English-speaking friend meets you at apartment on arrival with bottle of wine, food for breakfast, bouquet of flowers. We also can have a driver meet you at train or airport (fee).

Supply of classical and jazz CDs, shelves full of English and French books, including tourist and restaurant guides. Other decorating touches: antique mirror with candleabras, hand-woven oriental carpet, matching coffee table and end tables, painted wood side table.

1930's style leather and wood armchair makes a comfortable reading spot. Lighting includes 2 large table lamps and a standing halogen lamp on a rheostat. Soft, warm-toned draperies frame east-facing floor-to-ceiling window which looks out to wide-open sky and the length of tiny rue Lobineau.

Modern eat-in kitchen is fully built-in, with Italian ceramic tiles, mid-size refrigerator, many wood cabinets, a large cupboard with antique wooden door, antique table and 4 bistro-style chairs. Provencal tablecloth, place mats, matching napkins and small table lamp complete decor.

Two bedside tables have lamps, seconded by adjustable wall-mounted reading lamps above 1930's inlaid wood headboard. Large 1930's style mirror completes decor.
