The Picasso Museum, Georges Pompidou Centre, best contemporary art galleries - all are an easy walk from the studio. Shopping chic just around the corner... One of Paris’ most popular restaurants with a terrace, Chez Janou, practically across the street from the this Paris rental, and a choice of many others minutes away. Why look elsewhere?

On the ground floor with plenty of light and sun as windows take up the whole southern wall, and the next building is good 80 yards away. There is also light from the other side of the living room - a sound deadening double-glazed window looking out on the street, but higher than the passers by, so it gives the room a dynamic light from both sides.

A small entrance hall - to the left is the living room (about 20m²) and - straight on - the bathroom (repainted January 2013) with a big bathtub. It's difficult to explain, but after the bathroom there is a sort of a patio with a covered with a see-through hard plastic roof, which has become a tiny kitchen with a sink and a work surface and a very flashy two burner stove top but no oven. The kitchen has just been updated (January 2013) with new paint, tiles and sink.  It offers a built-in ventilation and is meant to be used for cooking so that you don't have to smell up the living room, which also has a kitchen corner all in oak-wood, comprising of a refrigerator advertised as the most quiet running in the world, a microwave, toaster, Nespresso coffee machine, an electric kettle and cupboards for dishes etc. - meant for preparing snacks and breakfast.

The living room is furnished with an antique round oak table and a smaller antique rectangular table, a vey comfortable sofa bed with a real mattress, that opens to sleep two people plus a sofa that can sleep one, a bookshelf, CD and cassette player, TV and a clothes cupboard. The ceiling is high, so even though it's not very big, the place feels spacious.

This apartment requires a “Meet and Greet” - guests will be met at the apartment and given keys at that time.
