If you would like to live like a Parisian, shop like a Parisian, eat like a Parisian and drink wine like Parisian, then this apartment cannot be rivalled. It possesses charm, history, atmosphere and everything you need to be comfortable. It is quiet and full of light. The perfect place to paint or write. The quintessential top floor loft space with a rooftop terrace and the modern convenience of a reliable lift, plenty of heating/air conditioning, hot water, comfortable beds, a surprising amount of space and a bathtub in the largest bathroom space I've seen in Paris! It is truly lovely. A hot bath with a glass of champagne after a day exploring The Marais is too good to be true. The toilet is seperate from the bathroom which is incredibly convenient. On this, my fifth trip to Paris, I stayed here for a month and did not want to leave. Whether you like dining out or eating at home, there are markets & supermarkets nearby, equipped with great wine as well as fresh produce. Relax in the quiet kitchen overlooking the courtyard or step outside into the bustling Marais where terrific bistros have the bonus of happy hour 5-9pm. Museums, gardens, day trips out of the city are all convenient from this apartment ('rollicking renifleur' on Instagram has captured many of the possibilities). The metro around the corner is incredibly convenient or take the bus north/south. Just buy a carnet (10 tickets) from any metro. Finally, Sebastien your host - he is like family and you are staying in his home. He's warm and hospitable and he responds to any and every communication. In this apartment, you may start as a visitor ... but you will leave as a local.
