DESCRIPTION:
This completely renovated apartment is located on charming Rue Elzévir in the historic Marais district of Paris, France. This neighborhood provides the perfect Parisian experience from sunny, outdoor brasseries to the latest shopping on Rue des Francs Bourgeois to romantic walks along the Seine. Our quiet, light-filled one bedroom apartment (62 sq. m., 667 sq. ft.) is located on the third floor of a 17th century building.

The interior of the owners’ personal apartment has been recently redone by a Swedish architect. The décor is urban modernist, "Paris meets Wallpaper*". The American-style kitchen opens into the spacious livingroom which has oak floors and warm light from both the historic Rue du Parc Royal and the quiet cobblestone courtyard. In the bedroom is a queen-sized bed created by Amsterdam artist Maroeska Metz. The well-equipped kitchen can be used to prepare everything from a petit déjeuner to a gourmet dinner. After spending the day in Paris, you can pamper yourself in the granite and mosaic tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate tub.

Although this apartment is ideal for a couple, there is a sofa-bed in the livingroom which can sleep two additional people, as well as a small, rolled-up "Bed in a Bag" futon mattress and crib (in storage).

This is our second home and vacation rental, and therefore a home exchange does not have to be concurrent.

AMENITIES: Non-smoking, refrigerator/freezer, combined washer/dryer, dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster, cordless phone, Sony television, VCR which plays US and European video tapes, micro stereo with CD and cassette, linens and towels,hair dryer, metal safe.

Both of us lived and met in Paris. Ineke was there for 9 years while I was there for 4 years. Before we returned to the US, we decided to purchase an apartment to keep a foot in Paris that would "force" us to come back on a regular basis to visit our friends. Currently, we live in San Francisco in Cole Valley and return to Paris at least twice a year.

METROPOLITAN AREA: Center of Paris, Marais, METRO: St. Paul.

Within a five-minute walk of the apartment, you’ll find famous Paris cultural sites such as the Place des Vosges, Musée Picasso, Musée Carnavalet, Archives Nationales, Musée Cognac Jay and the Swedish Cultural Institute. Ten minutes further and you can be enjoying Hotel de Ville, the Pompidou Center, the Bastille Opera, the Seine River, Notre-Dame and Hotel de Sully. On Rue des Francs Bourgeois and other nearby shopping streets you can find stores such as Plein Sud, L’Eclaireur, Barbara Bui, L'Occitane, Zadig and Voltaire, Lolita Lempicka, Muji, Ordning and Reda and Christophe Delcourt, along with unique indie stores such as Les Mille Feuilles, Home Autour du Monde, Nickel and more.
