Bright and quiet this upscale one-bedroom apartment with a loft is situated only a few meters from the Seine River and the St. Michel neighborhood, between Quai des Grands Augustins and Rue Saint-André des Arts. Sleeps 4.

Though being placed in the heart of the Latin Quarter only a few meters from the Seine river and the Notre-Dame Cathedral, this 75m² apartment is very quiet thanks to its exposure on a calm courtyard. However it is also very bright as it is south oriented.
 Intellectual core of Paris the Quarter Latin abounds of historical points of interest such as the “Sainte Chapelle”, in the Law Courts, build under Saint Louis from 1241 to 1248, “Cluny’s” Thermae (from the 3^rd century) Hotel (from the 15^th century) and Museum (from the19^th century), among others. In addition the Seine River, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Boulevard Saint Germain are in a very short walking distance and, a block and a half away, is the Sorbonne University. A large variety of nice shops, celebrated restaurants and cafes, and cinemas, as well as basic services such as supermarkets are found all around this neighborhood.

This large duplex apartment is located on the fourth European floor of an 17^th century historic walk-up building. The main entrance gate is protected by a security system and there is a concierge as well in the building. The walls are painted white and there are wooden beams on the ceilings and tiled floor almost everywhere.

The entry door opens directly onto the 45m² living and dining room. On the mezzanine is the first 7m² loft-bedroom. The kitchen is off of the dining room and separate. The master bedroom (15m²) is off the dining room, followed by the bathroom and toilet (one must walk through the bedroom to access the bathroom). See FLOOR PLAN.

The living room and dining room, have plenty of natural light from the three windows looking out over a pretty courtyard and the Parisian rooftops.

The living room is completed by a sofa (140 cm length), a comfortable armchair, carpet, TV, stereo, and telephone. There is a beautiful imported Italian marble dining table with its matching chairs and two antique appliqués on the wall.
