It is just one-half block from the Place Des Vosges, the oldest arcaded square in Paris, and minutes from all that the historic Marais and the nearby island of St Louis have to offer -- antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, the Richard Lenoir and other street markets, cafes, Picasso, Carnavalet and other museums, monuments such as the Bastille, Canal of St Martin and more. And it is also a haven- once you have closed the large entryway door behind you and entered the cobblestone interior courtyard with its trees and shrubs, you are (as many clients have told us) in “a quiet oasis in the middle of Paris.”

One flight above street level in a small and historic seventeenth century building, the apartment has been freshened up with new appliances and paint by its new owners who purchased it in May of 2008. We've had many happy renters here as the previous owners also offered the property through our service as well. Keeping the charm of its past - the decorative fireplaces, parquet floors, and ceiling moldings - it has also a travertine marble bathroom, galley kitchen that overlooks the living and dining areas, and an unusually large bedroom equipped with a king size bed which can be separated into two twins on request. The 55 m2 (580 sq foot) apartment is spacious and sunny. There are the usual amenities: TV, wireless Internet connection for your lap top computer, clothes washer, gas stovetop, microwave, small refrigerator, and all necessary kitchen equipment. An additional service is a free phone service to any land based line (not mobile or cell phones) to the U.S., plus a welcome bottle of wine.

To accommodate two couples separately or up to 6 persons total, book this apartment and our Place des Vosges Treasure- ID #127 together (apartments are right next to each other in the same building).

We invite you to enjoy this very nice flat, which is quiet and peaceful, on a handsome courtyard and in an excellent area of Paris to explore!
