The apartment is located on the 4^th European floor (5^th US) of this 19^th century building with an elevator and overlooks the gardens and golden domes of the Russian Orthodox Church. But don’t worry, they only ring once at 10am! No cars are permitted on the street so it's very quiet.....a peaceful retreat in one of the busiest areas of Paris.

If the great location were not enough, the apartment owners have completely renovated this large two bedroom flat, using high quality furnishings and furniture throughout. The apartment has all the charm of a 19^th century Parisian apartment with high molded ceilings, hardwood floors, a fireplace (decorative only), wood molding on the walls, iron work on the balcony, bow windows – all this with the comfort and modernity of new appliances.

There is a master bedroom with a queen size bed for two adults. The second bedroom has separate twin beds which can be pushed together to form one large king size bed, which includes a top mattress when formed together. Please specify your preference at the time of booking.  There is a quality double sofa sleeper in the living room, that can sleep two adults comfortably as well. A total of 6 adults can occupy this large apartment, with its 66 m² (@730 ft²) size.

The apartment has two bathrooms, each is located just off the bedrooms; see the floor plan below. The larger of the two is in the master bedroom and offers a tub and handheld shower, plus sink, but no WC. The smaller bathroom off the second bedroom has a shower, sink and WC. For easy access this bathroom and the WC, it conveniently has a second door which opens to the living room.

The apartment’s kitchen has all newer cabinets, newer appliances and includes a dishwasher, combination oven and microwave in one unit, stovetop with electric burners, coffee machine and toaster. There is a combination washer/dryer unit in the apartment as well. There is both a dining table for six people as well as a bar counter. There is another important feature for such a large apartment that accommodates six people, which is the gas furnace for "never out hot water".

The owner kindly requests no children under the age of 10 years.

• The food & wine lovers will walk to the best gourmet shops in Paris (Dalloyau, Taillevant, Hediard) and will spend hours cruising the most quintessentially Parisian market in the nearby rue Poncelet. The rue Poncelet market is particularly inviting as it has a combination of fruit, vegetables and produce stalls lined up alongside some of the best food stores in the city. Even in the windy cold of November these little shops open their fronts to the streets in a symphony of color, sound and aromas. Sample the best assortment of French cheeses at Fromagerie des Gourmets at 7 rue Poncelet or some excellent and typical French baguette at PAUL bread shops. It's a unique experience!
  
  
• The classical music addicts will just die to be literally two steps away from the city’s main concert Hall - Salle Pleyel – which reopened after its most radical renovation to date, a $36 million makeover that involved gutting and redesigning its main auditorium. You actually can see the back of the building from the living room and – if you are lucky – on a summer evening may hear pianists practicing.  In the summer, why not just walk to the Parc Monceau and attend its annual Chopin Festival?
  
  
• The joggers and nature lovers will not believe they are so close to the Parc Monceau; only about 300ft. Known as one of the most attractive parks in Paris, Park Monceau, the brainchild of the Duke of Orleans in the 18^th century, has become a favorite resting place for those looking for some peace and quiet away from the busy city. Stroll among its pretty flower gardens and interesting array of statues, relax along its little ponds, grottos and waterfall or jog in its alleys. This is just one of the most romantic places in Paris at you door steps.
  
  
• The architecture and history buffs will wake up to the stunning view of the Cathédrale St-Alexandre-Nevsky, probably the most beautiful Russian church in France. The style is Byzantine-moscovite, with bulb like pinnacle domes, a gilded ball and a cross at each apex. Enjoy a sunny lunch on the living room balcony overlooking the church gardens or just admire the view from your bed through the bedroom windows. The bells only ring once at 10am in the morning, so you’ll just enjoy the peaceful view.
  
  
• The fashion victims will not resist the luxury fashion shops going down on Faubourg St. Honoré towards the presidential palace (Élysées). From Chanel to Hermes and more, just walk them all!
