Here is a colorful jewel in the heart of Paris.
In the bright and lively Fifth arrondissement, home to the Sorbonne,
the Jardin des Plantes, the Luxembourg and just a 5 minute walk
to rue Mouffetard - the oldest market street in Paris". Gardens is a wonderful jewel
of an apartment that awaits you as your home away from home.
Nestled on a quiet street, in a quiet interior
courtyard, this lovely one bedroom apartment of 42 m2 (450
sq. feet) has all of the conveniences that any traveler could want.
One of the first things you notice is how homey and welcoming the
owners have made this apartment. That is because, unlike an apartment
that has been furnished as a rental unit, the owners of this apartment
live here several months a year. They have set it up and furnished it
as they would like to live and you as their guests, reap the rewards.
Heated with gas heat, which also provides
unlimited hot water, the system’s remote control can be set to give
you the perfect temperature for day or night comfort. The
thermal insulated double paned windows and door to the garden are
designed to help keep the apartment comfortable, no matter what the
temperature. Large space saving radiators insure that heat is
evenly and efficiently distributed in all rooms making paying a visit
in colder months as much a pleasure as the warmer spring and summer
months. In fact, with less crowds to deal with, staying here in
the late fall and winter is a delightful way to experience a less
crowded Paris.
In the summer, a major plus is an air
conditioning unit in the living room, powerful enough to keep the
entire apartment comfortable. It is a two part system with the
smaller part that keeps you cool on the inside and the larger
machinery part on the outside.
Another wonderful thing about this apartment is
its lovely private garden. Hedged all around, the space is a private
little oasis in which to enjoy an afternoon drink or a pleasant meal.
There is a large wooden table which seats four comfortably or a
smaller round bistro table for more intimate moments. Two chairs are
available out of doors and two more metal folding chairs can be
brought out from the apartment. The French door in the living room
leads out to this wonderful added attraction.
A separate bedroom, with a large window looking
out on your private garden is sunny and bright. Ample closet space, a
comfortable double bed, a flat screen TV with BBC, a telephone for
incoming and local calls. Linens and pillows for two beds, including season appropriate
comforters ensure you will have a great night’s sleep.
The living room is spacious with a very
comfortable double sized high quality sofa bed, a drop leaf table which seats four
very comfortably, plenty of books to read and guide books to inform, a
CD-collection for your listening pleasure, a radio/CD/cassette
combination with great sound, a wonderful reading light. In addition
to the sofa, there are two incredibly comfortable Phillipe Starck
designed chairs so four people can relax in comfort. The coffee
table is on wheels and is very easy to maneuver to allow for the
opening of the sofa bed. A dramatic glass and iron display unit
contains wonderful pieces of glass and pottery collected by the
owners. Everywhere you look is the art work of a home that
reflects that someone lives here, not some sterile hotel room. As a
bed, the pull out sofa has exceptionally thick 7 inch (18 cm)
mattress with full support underneath.

The “American” kitchen has everything one could
want to prepare a meal. With all the wonderful markets nearby, we
know you’ll be tempted to try your hand at French cooking. But don’t
worry, there are tons of restaurants nearby and within easy walking
distance if the most you want to make is coffee. And we even have
three ways to make coffee, a French press, a regular coffee machine
and, for those of you who prefer, an espresso maker. A breakfast bar
with two stools allows for a quick bite. A very unique gas, stove,
oven and dishwasher (yes, in one unit) takes care of all your cooking
and clean-up needs. Plentiful pots, pans, casseroles and cooking
utensils are available as well.
The windowed bathroom has everything you would
expect and more. Two separate electric heaters (one near the shower,
the other near the toilet) are available to insure you are toasty warm
when you emerge from the spacious tiled shower. There are plenty of
towels and an initial supply of facial and toilet tissue.
Come and make our jewel in Paris, your jewel.
You will experience Paris as a local with more room than the high end
hotel rooms and much more personality. This is a non-smoking
apartment. Not appropriate for children under 6 years old.
