This is a superb apartment in perhaps the best location in Paris for a visitor. We are an American couple in our early 60s who have visited Paris annually since 2009, renting apartments in different neighborhoods. This is a property we hope to stay in again and again. The photos in the apartment listing are accurate. The apartment is well laid out, spacious, very clean and decorated in a sophisticated, minimalist style. It can easily accommodate two couples. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and exceptionally well equipped. The main bathroom is large even by US standards, and the big soaking tub and walk-in shower with rain head faucet are fantastic. The sole toilet, located in a separate water closet, appears new. The bedding and the living room furniture are very comfortable. Good light and ventilation are provided by the windows facing the terrace, and there is a back window in the second bedroom that can be opened to create a cross breeze. The terrace, which is wide and runs the entire length of the apartment, facing the tree-lined street, is a wonderful outdoor space for dining or relaxing. The building, entered through a gated alley, is secure. Even the elevator is terrific, with room for four people. The building is located along a stretch of Rue Montmartre that is part of the semi-pedestrian zone between Les Halles and the Grand Boulevards. From here, it’s a short walk to many of central Paris’s major attractions, including the Louvre and the Palais Royal, the Pompidou Centre, and Ile de la Cite (Notre Dame, Saint-Chapelle, Le Conciergerie). Metro station Sentier, on the #3 line, is just two blocks from the apartment. The #3 line runs east-west through the center of the Right Bank, and connects to most other Metro lines, so it only takes 15-20 minutes to get to other neighborhoods and attractions on this side of the Seine, including the Pere Lachaise cemetery, the Marais, Opera Garnier, Parc Monceau, Trocadero, etc. Also near the apartment are Metro stations Etienne Marcel and Les Halles, both on the north-south #4 line, which can quickly take you to the Left Bank in the Latin Quarter and the St. Germain area. Additional attractions are even closer to the building, including two important churches, Basilica of Notre-Dame des Victoires and the Church of St. Eustache, as well as Place des Victoires, Galerie Vivienne, Jardin Nelson Mandela, Tour Jean Sans Peur and Square des Innocents. Also, running parallel to Rue Montmartre, just one block away, is Rue Montorgueil, the best and most colorful market street in the city. Rue Montorgueil’s wide variety of specialty and prepared food shops and grocers make it simple to put together delicious and economical meals to eat in the apartment without cooking. There also are five supermarkets and four boulangeries close by, including one each in the same block as the apartment building. (Supermarkets carry large selections of wine at cheaper prices than wine stores.) Plus, on Sunday mornings a farmers’ market...
