I would buy this apartment if it became available. The location is perfect: historic rue Quincampoix, a famed cobblestone pedestrian street that dates back to the Middle Ages. You're in the middle of everything, and yet it has a unique charm that makes it one of the most desirable streets in all of Paris. The apartment has been recently updated and has everything, including plenty of storage and (yes!) an elevator - vital, since the apartment is on the 6th floor.

The rental arrangements are handled by Paris Autrement, and I've now worked with them several times. They are professional, and I've noticed that the units they manage are all beautiful and well-kept. There's a consistency and high standards with them that I have not experienced with other companies. I highly recommend them.
