As you step into your vacation home away from home, you'll be greeted by a bright and welcoming apartment. The first thing you'll notice are the floor to ceiling picture windows which cover almost the entire wall with a view over the large courtyard. The furniture is contemporary in gray tones with pops of bright primary color. Mirrors, glass and dark wood, as well as Ansel Adams-like photographs and Christo prints decorate the space. The gray parquet floors and up to date furniture offer comfort and visual appeal with a clean stylish look. With the spacious open floor plan of the living/dining area, it's the perfect place to chat about your plans for the day, relax, or watch TV. Leather chairs are tucked into the smoked glass extendable dining table designed by none other than French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Extra chairs are provided for seating for up to six. The sofa opens to a queen size bed with an extra thick mattress that can sleep up to two guests.

A solid wood and frosted glass sliding doors separates the bedroom from the living room. Cozy and nest-like, the bedroom is equipped with a large closet on one side, the picture windows overlooking the courtyard on the opposite side. The double bed is of the utmost comfort, tucked cozily between vertical shelves, perfect for storing a bedtime book or reading lamps. An air-conditioning unit is located in the bedroom, and with the door open can cool the entire apartment. Electric shutters in the bedroom block out any daylight for a restful sleep. Peaceful and cozy – what more could one want for after a long day out?

The separate kitchen is located conveniently off the dining area. Invigorated with orange counters, it's fully equipped with a full-size refrigerator with freezer, a dishwasher, a microwave a ceramic cook top with oven as well a washer/dryer combo. You'll find all the necessary items including a kettle, toaster, French coffee press, American style coffee maker and more-- perfect for serving those special treats from the local markets.

The bathroom again features bold color with turquoise tile and provides a nice-size bathtub to relax in, with handheld or attached shower. The owner has thoughtfully provided some conveniences of home including a full-size mirror as well as a magnifying mirror, a scale, and a retractable clothesline, as well a hair dryer. The WC is separate and located in the apartment entryway.

The owner of this apartment has thought of every detail to make your stay perfectly comfortable. A thick house book has been carefully compiled with interesting and useful information, from restaurants to the history of the various Parisian neighborhoods, to measurement conversions, to a listing of all the museums in Paris. 

Once out of the apartment, the neighborhood breathes both elegance and history. The Seine is just down the street where you can hop on a Bateau Mouche, which takes you through the center of historic Paris for a stunning tour of the city. The Champs de Mars, which is the expansive garden surrounding the Eiffel Tower, is just a three-minute stroll away. This park is fun for everyone, offering pony rides, puppet shows, lots of grass for playing ball, or picnicking and just relaxing. Or why not ponder what was, in 1889, the world’s tallest man-made structure? And don’t miss the flickering of its lights at night every hour on the hour—a magical experience. Just beyond the Champs de Mars is Trocadero, where you’ll find the new architecture museum, the anthropological museum and the aquarium, and offering a fabulous view of the Eiffel Tower and surroundings.

Heading in the opposite direction, just a few minutes from the apartment, there are excellent bakeries and restaurants. Shops selling everything from cheese, fresh fish, vegetables and fruit, or the newest line of clothes and accessories. And so easy to hop on a metro or RER if you want to explore other areas of Paris or even just outside Paris, like the Château de Versailles, only a half hour ride away.

Comfort and convenience with this apartment ensure that you will have the best Paris holiday possible!
