The Marais is one of the most lively and historic areas of Paris. In its heart is the Place des Vosges, the city's oldest arcaded square. Here your neighbors are some of the city's unique small museums, such as the Musée Carnvalet tracing the history of Paris, and the Musée Picasso. Lively shopping districts abound along the rue des Francs Bourgeois, the rue St-Antoine and the rue de Bretagne with an array of tantalizing food shops, boutiques, cafés and restaurants along with covered and open-air markets.
Located near the lively rue de Bretagne neighborhood, this two bedroom apartment has undergone a complete renovation, enhancing its historic beauty while integrating all modern comforts. It is set in an 18th-century building on the 1st floor (see note below) with stair access. The apartment features polished herringbone parquet floors, crown molding, an original fireplace, tall windows and high ceilings. Furnished with both taste and comfort in mind, the decor includes handsome contemporary furnishings accented with warm antique pieces. To ensure complete comfort and convenience, the apartment is equipped with wireless high-speed internet access, all appliances, and the bedrooms are air conditioned.
The entry opens to the main living room with sitting and dining areas as well as a kitchen. In the sitting area is a large upholstered sofa that opens to a queen bed with extra-thick mattress. Opposite the sofa is the media center with large flat-screen cable television, a multizone DVD player and a stereo system with sound dock to plug in your I-pod. By the front window is a round wood dining table and chairs. At the other end of the room is the well-designed galley kitchen with all appliances, cream-colored cabinets and a butcher-block table providing extra preparation space.
Completing the apartment are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Both bedrooms are decorated with pretty bedcovers, curtains, side tables, lamps and ample wardrobe space. The bathrooms include tiled American-style showers, sinks and toilet facilities, and both have windows over an interior courtyard. A door from the living area leads to the master bedroom suite with a king bed, two large windows and ensuite bathroom. In the bathroom is a tub with shower and shower screen. The second bedroom, accessed from the entry hall, has twin beds convertible to king, a fireplace and a large window. Its bathroom is across the hall and includes a tiled shower.
An appealing Parisian home, well configured for couples traveling together and for families. An excellent value!
