3rd Arrondissement Le Marais Vacation Rental apartment: Paris Arrondissement 3

This is the latest addition to our group, another stunning renovation of a 17th century apartment with all of the charm of the original floors, stained glass window, and beams, plus the modern amenities that make a perfect marriage of the old and the new. Central air conditioning (rare in Paris apartments) makes this bright, totally renovated apartment an ideal spot for a short or long visit to the City of Lights.
*Please note rate in euros = 210 euros/night, quoted USD rate conversion may vary depending on currency exchange rate.

One flight up from the ground floor, the original 18th century staircase takes you back in history to a time of elegance and sophistication. The separate bedroom is on a quiet inner courtyard, and the large living room has a niche with a new comfortable sofabed that allows another two guests to have a private area for sleep or to sit and look out the large windows facing a quiet tree lined street.

Design plans for this apartment are a bit different than our usual-that is, with a more modern, contemporary European flair, rather than the traditional French antiques as in most of our others.

All of the 21st century amenities are there, including central air, heated towel racks, Cable, Wifi, CNN, washer/dryer and dishwasher.

Conveniently located close to public transportation in the Marais, and just blocks from the Seine, it is in walking distance to almost all major attractions in Paris including the Louvre, Place des Vosges, Bastille Opera, Notre Dame, Picasso and Carnavalet museums.

A nearby hotel provides housekeeping, 24-hour concierge services, computer access, chauffeur service to and from airport, and breakfast for a nominal fee. The hotel concierge will meet you and give you your keys and acquaint you with your home in Paris.

3 - it's comfortable - large sitting areas provide comfort and conversation niches
