PAIRS OLYMPIC SPECIAL STUDIO APARTMENT

Situated on a pedestrian area of the Seine River left bank, in a tiny street between Quai Saint Michel and Rue Saint Severin, this charming Parisian studio apartment is located on the 2nd French floor of a 17th-century walk-up building, featuring an intercom (although the staircases need renovation). The studio boasts half-timbered walls, straw-colored tones that complement the old-style brick red tiled floor, and two large windows with net and Bordeaux curtains that open to the pedestrian street. The 24m² total surface area is divided into a little hall, a living room, an open recessed kitchen, and a bathroom. The hall includes a built-in closet.

The 12m² living room is furnished with a double sofa bed, a small wooden folding table with two similar chairs, a wooden piece of furniture with drawers and shelves housing the TV with an embedded VCR, and a Hi-Fi stereo with CD player. Three design halogen spots are installed under the 6m² mezzanine, which features a queen-size bed and a wall-mounted lamp, accessible via stable wooden stairs (without handrails). The practical kitchen, open to the living room, includes an L-shaped white worktop, equipped with two electric burners, a microwave, a small fridge with a freezer compartment, a washing/drying machine, and a stainless steel sink. Utensils are stored on a wooden sideboard on casters and on a set of shelves, with blue rolling blinds protecting the window.

The bathroom is partly white-tiled, with a bathtub and wall-mounted shower protected by a plastic curtain, a white ceramic washbasin with a mirror above, built-in ceiling spotlights, and a toilet. This studio is in a lively pedestrian area with various restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops, located just beside the Seine River and Notre Dame Cathedral, in one of the most youthful areas of Paris, the Quartier Latin, historically known for Parisian education. The nearest metro station is St Michel (Line 4 and RER B). Amenities include air conditioning, cable TV, DVD, internet, laundry inside the apartment, a dryer, and smoking is permitted. Pets are not allowed, and there is no elevator.
