You can enjoy a restful comfortable stay in this fully renovated (January 2011) studio! Located on a quiet street with great restaurants, cafes and five minutes away from an authentic daily farmer’s market...the Place Maubert Market.

This comfortable short term rental studio has all new furniture and furnishings and has a surface area of 30 m² (320 ft²). All new appliances, new flooring, updated electricity and new state of the art beds imported from Italy - see pictures below as they are quite different! 4^th European floor easy walk up with stairs only, no elevator, in an authentic building of the early 17^th century. This is a fantastic area near the Sorbonne University, Jardin du Luxembourg and Saint Michel and also a view of Notre Dame Cathedral if you lean out the window!

This area is quite central with a 10-11 minute walk to Notre Dame, crossing the Seine river, and about 13-15 minute walk to the St. Michel and Odeon areas with so many restaurants and cafes/bakeries, etc! But, do also explore the famed Latin Quarter, so named because they actually spoke Latin when the University was founded, back in 1257, almost 200 years before Columbus struck out! You will revel in the rich old history of this great area, kept alive today by all those lively young students frequenting the many small pubs and cafes around…! You can even stroll to Luxembourg Gardens in under 15 minutes!

                                 Sleeping arrangements

Murphy Bed: A fold down ‘Murphy’ type double size bed by Clei Italy, very easy to pull down and prepare - this sleeps 2 adults.

Sofa/Sleeper: An innovative sofa-bed combo. During the day it's a normal sofa for 2/3 people, but also lifts up to form 2 twin size ‘bunk’ beds, one over the other. While 2 adults can sleep here, due to the configuration of beds, we recommend at least one be a young adult.  This unique one of a kind piece of furniture, it instantly becomes a bunk bed, with simple movement and no strain.

The Rolls Royce of sofa beds, the patented mechanism allows for easy switch from comfortable sofa to bunk bed. Simply lift the sofa cushion to activate the mechanism, pull the lower bunk out, and watch as it lifts up into place, use the integrated ladder to lock the bunk into place. Maximum weight supported by each single bed is 150 kg (330 lbs).

Lower bed mattress is 193 cm (6.33 ft) long; 80 cm (2.6 ft) wide; 12 cm (4.68 inch) thick
Upper bed mattress is 191 cm (6.27 ft) long; 68 cm (2.3 ft) wide; 10 cm (4.29 inch) thick
