If like me you have been curious about those elegant 19th century double doors with brass fittings scattered around the Parisian side streets then i can at last satisfy your curiosity . They lead to a primary building of apartments or pied a terre before going onto a courtyard with adjoining 5 story buildings .All very French ! This apartment was in a courtyard building on the third floor and over looked the court yard area .The layout was one space including a seating area that converted from a sofa bed with a rustic dining table in a sparse room . The kitchen consisted of a microwave , a sink , a fridge , a kettle and some crockery and utensils .I located the washing machine in the bathroom . The location was in Montmartre and was excellent with great walks and restaurants plus good metro links around Paris . My shower was ok but could have benefited from a shower door or curtain .Overall the space could do with an upgrade in furnishings and linen .
