In the heart of historic Marais, just a step from the 17th Century Place des Vosges and five minutes to the Place de la Bastille and the Opera, Picasso Museum, not to mention the best Sunday market in Paris and much more - the Marais is where it all happens! Sidewalk cafes, restaurants, boutiques from designer to funky, and medieval streets with a surprise at every turn. Ten minutes' walk will take you to the banks of the Seine, the Ile St Louis, Notre Dame Cathedral and much more! Take a leisurely drink at our favourite Cafe des Phares at the Bastille and wait for the world to come to you! Amazing Sunday street market on the Boulevard Richard Lenoir is the best in Paris, and Monoprix for more mundane requirements both five minutes walk!
Look out of the living room window and you can see the Place des Vosges framed within a 17th century porch leading into the square - often with a free classical concert by buskers taking advantage of the excellent accoustics!! In a old well-kept building dating from the 17th and 18th centuries - a great central location for seeing everything or doing nothing! A cosy haven of peace after a hard day's sightseeing. Bright and light, on the first floor (one flight walk up) totally redesigned and refurbished recently to an excellent standard. Some 45 square meters. A traditional polished oak floor throughout, rugs and a happy mix of antique and modern furniture.

My husband and I just recently spent 2 weeks in this apartment. We have stayed in several other apartments in Paris before and this was our favorite. It has old world charm. It is in a very convenient location with 2 metro stops, a Monoprix, several cafes and patisseries and some wonderful restaurants very close by. In addition, there is a fruit stand/small grocery store almost directly across the street. The apartment itself was very clean and well-maintained with an extremely comfortable bed and good closet space. Plus I loved sitting in the window seat and "watching the world go by". For others my only concern would be if you are a light sleeper like I am. In the winter the windows and the doors to the bedroom blocked out the noise from the local bar and restaurant, but in warmer weather when you might need to have the windows open, the noise level might be a problem. Vicky was wonderful to work with. From the first time that we expressed interest in renting this apartment, she always responded to my e-mails immediately and we were always able to reach her or someone else at the Paris office with any concerns or questions that we had. Thanks to all of you for providing the home base for our wonderful time in Paris.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+.
