This unique 1 bedroom vacation flat is located in a 17th-century 'hotel particulier' in the heart of the Marais district in Paris. Owned by a photographer, the apartment is a clean and well distributed space providing luxury, light, and comfort. It is on the 4rth floor, up 3 flights of stairs, encased by windows looking onto the courtyard (no elevator – sorry). Newly renovated in 2011, this Marais apartment rental features five large windows opening onto the rue des Blancs Manteaux, overlooking a park next to a church. You have no vis-à-vis or otherwise neighbours violating your intimacy.
The apartment is a haven of peace in the heart Paris. Rue des Guillemites and the rue des Blancs Manteaux are two of the loveliest streets in Paris and very central in the Marais. You most certainly will be charmed by the village feel of the Marais quarter.
I treat my rental as a ‘boutique hotel’ so there are many amenities that come with a weekly rental: cleaning, towels and linens, wifi, free phone and tv, Morabito soap & shampoo, hand soap, hygienic paper, paper towel, filtered water, nespresso capsules, a welcome food basket and wine, flowers and plants, a supply of ethanol for the fire place and various cleaning products.
This elegant Paris vacation apartment features a large main living room with designer furniture, notably a Zanotta couch ensemble, which gives into an open kitchen / dining area. The living room features an ethanol fireplace, a remote controlled retractable flat screen TV, DVD player, a designer HiFi stereo, telephone with free local / international / mobile calling**, and unlimited high-speed Internet access (WIFI and ethernet). The Italian designed fully equipped eat in kitchen seats four and is equipped with dishwasher / washer-dryer / electrical oven / induction plates / microwave oven / a small fridge with a freezer / electrical kettle / coffee machine / toaster. All of the cooking utensils you will need are provided, as are plenty of plates, glasses, and cutlery. The owner has provided a few CDs and DVDs as well as a collection of design, art and architecture books.
This clean space provides all of the luxury, comfort, and style of a boutique hotel and is the perfect 'chez vous' to come home to after a day spent wandering the streets of Paris. It is a perfect spot to wind down in your lovely vacation rental in the Marais. The bedroom features a beautiful Maxalto French Queen size bed (160cm x 200 cm or 5’25x 6’56) with a quality mattress and bedding which will ensure you quality sleep. The designer bathroom has a large Italian-style walk-in shower with all the fluffy towels you will need and an independent heater. The entrance has plenty of closet space and toilet room.
Of course you will discover the various art works that the owner has selected which, tastefully, will submerge you into a contemporary art environment. The sleek lines and luxury of this apartment will appeal to a young and hip clientele.
