New tastefully appointed Marais Flat |

This completely renovated apartment is a stunning
example of Paris chic,
a touch of drama with a black crystal
chandelier greets you as
walk in to the double salon front doors.

The owners have taken this apartment of the Haussmann period,
located in the heart of the Marais, and transformed this space into
an elegant, well-appointed and comfortable space for up to 6 people
(FLOORPLAN).
Rue St. Croix is a darling street with wonderful shops and the best
Gelato at Amarino, not to be missed; it’s the best way to end an
evening stroll home to your apartment. The owners have undertaken a
complete floor to ceiling renovation and have transformed this
lovely space into a two bedroom and one bath apartment with quality
furnishings and finishes. During the renovation, no detail was
overlooked, not only are the kitchen, bathroom and water closet all
new, but also all systems have been updated, electrical, plumbing
and heating. The new furniture and décor have been selected by the
owner who is also a designer. If you love to feel at home while
traveling, this place will feel like your own Paris apartment.
The
apartment faces a large peaceful courtyard with off-street exposure,
assuring restorative nights sleep. Speaking of sleep, the beds and
linens are new as well. The sheets are 460-thread count, Egyptian
cotton, coupled with custom embroidered linens. With 52 m2 of space
(approximately 560 sq feet), there is plenty of room for all.
The
apartment features 2 full bedrooms, the master with a queen size bed
and the second with two twin beds, and can be put together if you
desire. Additionally, there is be a full size sofa-sleeper in the
living room that sleeps two. For your convenience the half -bath has
separate entrance (a WC with sink + mirror). The bathroom has a
towel warmer and all small electronic needs have been provided –
hairdryer, curling iron and straightening iron. The walk-in shower
boasts a refreshing pan showerhead for your comfort.
The Owners
themselves use this chic apartment when they are able to visit
Paris, so they want to ensure it is fully equipped with everything
you need. The apartment boasts two flat panel TV’s; one in the
living room and one in master bedroom with cable featuring CNN, BBC
and Sky News. If you love music – be sure to bring your IPOD, there
is a docking station with surround sound for your tunes. For your
communication needs there is both an apartment phone with free local
incoming and outgoing calls, as well as a rechargeable cellular
phone to use while you are enjoying the city of Paris. The apartment
also give the guest Internet access with WIFI for your
computer.
The kitchen is an open or “American Style”, facing out
to the living room, for ease of access and a spacious feeling where
everyone can gather in the combined rooms. The kitchen is fully
equipped with all updated appliances as well as a dishwasher. The
barware, dishes and serving ware insures that if you want to shop
the wonderful markets you can prepare your gourmet meal here.
The
apartment is safe and secure, with digi-code access and in a safe
neighborhood. If you like to shop, discover art, or eat like royalty
you will love the Marais. The apartment is in the middle of many key
attractions- The Pompidou Center, Hotel de Ville and Place de Vosges
flank the apartment with Notre Dame cathedral just a 5-minute stroll
(we timed ourselves)! There are wonderful galleries, design shops,
clothing and restaurants just steps from this apartment, always
lively and happening.
The nearest metro stop is just a few minutes
away, on line 1 at Hotel de Ville. This is the central line that
will take you quickly to most major attractions in Paris. Besides
discovering (or ‘re-discovering’!) the fabulous Marais district,
with all it specialty shops and great cafes, you are just a few
minutes stroll to the Louvre and Picasso Museum. Along the Seine
remember to visit the “ bookenists” that open their metal ‘armoires’
to reveal the treasures of old and antique books, magazines, post
cards and some odd knick-knacks!

If you are reading this, you have the great fortune to
be staying at Chez Ste. Croix. This a beautiful base of operations, in
a location that couldn’t be more central. If you are going to spend
real time exploring Paris, it doesn’t get more ideal.
Care for a few recommendations?
1. The French are quite proud of their language, learn just a few
phrases, and the world of better service awaits.
2. That cell phone that comes with the apartment is super handy. You
and charge it up with a card you can buy any Tabac, but if you call
the U.S. it can be pricey.
3. The bakery downstairs ROCKS!!
Best of luck,
