Located on the fourth floor (French) of an 1860's Directoire-style building with elevator, the apartment has been completely renovated. It features wood parquet floors, double-glazed windows finished with beautiful silk curtains, a mixture of antique and modern furniture, original art, and modern conveniences including wireless Internet, a flat screen Cable TV, a DVD player and Bose stereo system. It is ideal for a family of four to five with older children or for four adults open to sharing a single bathroom and separate WC (toilet room).
The entrance hall, featuring a decorative antique stove and ample storage/coat hanging space, opens into a brightly-lit living room/dining room. There is a marble fireplace (decorative only) with a Directoire-style mirror, comfortable sofa and chairs, the TV/stereo equipment and an oriental rug. The dining area features an antique 'bibliotheque' in rich walnut and a matching dining room table that can expand to seat eight people. The kitchen is entirely modern and equipped with gourmet cookware and recipes for people who enjoy cooking as well as a microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher and easy-to-use espresso maker for those looking for speed and convenience.
Both bedrooms are bright and comfortable, with windows overlooking the street, and air conditioning that can be requested in the warmer months. They are outfitted with luxurious sheets, feather pillows and comforters. The queen bedroom, with its cream and gold tones, features side tables, individually controlled reading lamps and a walk-in closet with a dresser and additional space for clothes. The larger bedroom has a king-sized bed (which can be converted into two twin beds), a built-in bookcase, two small closets and a long side table, which can be expanded to form a large desk.
The bathroom has been completely remodeled, with recessed lights, a large mirrored cabinet, a spacious walk-in shower, a sink with a large shelf below, and a towel warming rack. The toilet is in a separate room at the end of a curving hall hung with interesting photographs. Laundry facilities (a separate washer and dryer, both new) are located behind sliding doors.
