Situated in a 19th century building, on the corner of Rue Beaubourg (famous for its Pompidou Center) and the quiet Rue Chapon, this Parisian apartment rental is perfect if you're looking for a spacious loft-style apartment with a contemporary feel. The Marais was home to the French aristocracy in Paris, after King Henri IV built the Place des Vosges for his Italian wife, Marie de Medicis. You can visit some of these beautiful residences, such as the musée Carnavalet, or the Archives. The area had been deserted in the mid-19th century, when The Baron Haussman built his 'new Paris' and everybody wanted to live in new buildings with modern amenities on the new large avenues. However over the last thirty years, the Marais has been rediscovered and restored to its former glory, with beautiful paved courtyards behind magnificent doorways, beautiful staircases, high ceilings and windows, making beautiful, light spaces. Just a few streets away, you will find a myriad of fashionable shops for clothes or decorations, many bars and restaurants and a bustling street life in the heart of historical Paris. Being so central, it is really an ideal place to explore the city from. You can walk to Notre Dame, Bastille, Place des Vosges, the Pompidou center, The Montorgueil area, or even the Louvre, and there is a metro at the end of the street (Arts et Metiers) from which you can go anywhere you like.
The apartment is on the 1st French floor, with large windows all along one side of the living area and wooden parquet floors.
You enter the apartment by a small entrance hallway with the kitchen to your left, which is very well equipped, with a 4 burner vitro-ceramic stove, a microwave, a French expresso and regular coffee-maker, a toaster, citrus fruit press, a large refrigerator with ice compartment and a dishwasher.
The main room ahead of you is 35 sq.meters (376 sq.feet) with a separate sleeping area (with japanese-styled sliding doors), which makes another 5sq.meters (54 sq.feet). It has been tastefully furnished to make you feel at much at home as possible, with original artwork, objects and art books. The windows have simple white blinds and overlook a very peaceful courtyard. There is a large L-shaped sofa in the living room which can also serve as a very comfortable bed for two people , a dining table for four, a large flatscreen television with home cinema surround sound, dvd and hi-fi system.
The bedroom sleeps two guests comfortably in a 140cmX200cm double bed. The living area can also sleep 2 other guests on the sofa bed.
The bathroom on the other end of the living room is equipped with an open plan modern shower with a glass separation, toilet and wash basin, under which is a washer/dryer combo.
There is plenty of storage space in mirrored cupboards in the living room next to the bedroom.
There is of course free Wifi internet access, cable television and free calls to landlines in most countries around the world.
