Even before arriving to the building door, you will begin to notice that this is a special place- you must first enter an enclosed cobblestone courtyard with beautiful trees and gardens, a secluded and quiet area. This transforms the entire atmosphere as you are off the street and nestled away in this gorgeous newly renovated extra large Paris home. This is a 2 bedroom plus loft sleeping area with two full bathrooms. The main part of the apartment is 55 m² and the loft measures 22 m², for an approximate total of 825 sq feet.  Including the large sofa-sleeper in the living room, the flat can accommodate up to 8 adults. See Floor Plan here.

The extra large spaces, especially in the combo living room/dining-room and kitchen area where everyone can gather make this a very comfortable apartment. The views are really splendid, looking over the Parisian rooftops and lots of open sky!

This is a top floor apartment (another added bonus that reduces any potential noise since no one is above you plus it is the only apartment on the floor!) on the 4^th floor European count (4 flights up - no elevator). It has been tastefully renovated and decorated in April 2006, with all new appliances and furniture, including quality comfortable beds. The master bedroom has a Queen size bed for 2 people, the second bedroom has a trundle double bed (pulls out second bed from underneath) and the loft has also a Queen size bed (with reduced height/head space or approximately 5 feet high). There is a large comfortable sofa-sleeper in the living room (also trundle style which pulls out to form a Queen sized  bed). The first bathroom has a tub and shower (fixed to wall) plus WC and the second bathroom has a shower plus WC.

This is the true Marais area, so central and close to many interesting sights/things to do, just minutes to two metro stops- either the St. Sebastien Froissart on line 8 or Arts et Metiers on lines 3 and 11. You are an easy stroll to all of the fascinating shops in the Marais, plus great restaurants. You can easily walk to Hotel de Ville, the Seine, Chatelet or even Place des Vosges. A bit further just crossing the river is also Notre Dame Cathedral, (free organ recitals on Sundays!).

The full size kitchen is very spacious and the full size dining table easily accommodates everyone. You can really use this great kitchen if you want to cook and/or entertain, as it has has a large fridge/freezer, 4 point stove-top, plus all the necessary appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, oven, toaster etc. For your added convenience there is a washer and dryer ( separate units for ease/speed) in one of the bathrooms also.
