DESCRIPTION
This 1 bedroom apartment is located on Rue des Bernardins, walking distance to the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral and several great Parisian cafes and restaurants.
Located on the first French floor, the apartment overlooks a quiet interior courtyard and was renovated in 2012. The signature design feature of the apartment is the antique wooden beams which give it an earthy and homely feel, contrasted with sleek stainless steel finishing and somber colors.
Entering into the apartment you will find the spacious open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen which carries the same Scandinavian-Esque theme throughout. The kitchen is compact but fully equipped while the living room has all the comforts including a double sofa bed, cable tv, and wifi access. A dining table for four is right next to the kitchen, separated by the same solid wooden structures, but running through both areas as a clever design feature to service both the kitchen and dining area. For food preparation, the kitchen has a toaster, oven, microwave oven, stovetop, coffee machine, full fridge and freezer and a dishwasher for efficient cleaning. There is also a washer and dryer in the apartment.
The bedroom is cozy with a queen-sized bed, wardrobe, and view over the courtyard. It is right next to the modern bathroom with towel rail, with WC and shower.
While small, the apartment makes maximum use of its space to create a comfortable stay of all duration.
All of the exclusive Paris apartments rentals by welcome2france are located only in central Paris, one of Europe's safest and most beautiful metropolitan areas.
Metro: Maubert Mutualité.
NEIGHBORHOOD
Most refer to Saint Germain as the true heart of Paris, and certainly this district has a long cultural history - home to the famous cafes where philosophers, writers, artists and musicians debated, discussed, and brought their ideas and inspiration to life.
The Latin quarter (Quartier Latin to the locals) was built by the Romans eons ago, and owes its name to the classes once taught in Latin at the cultural icon - the Universite de Sorbonne. This educational history creates a fertile area for more intellectual discourse between schools, colleges and museums found in the area.
Within walking distance is the Institute of the Arab World right on the banks of the Seine (with a great view of the city at its top level), the Mosque of Paris (taste the mint tea in a Moorish café), the National Natural History Museum (a fantastic gallery of evolution with the Menagerie), the acclaimed Jardin des Plantes, the National museum of the Middle Ages (visit its thermal baths), the Pantheon, the Huchette Theatre ... the list goes on.
And for a break, amble along the bustling Rue Mouffetard with its restaurants. Make time as well for a coffee in Saint Germain des Prés with the Cafe de Flore and the Deux Magots, or even the famous Brasserie Lipp.
Don't forget to visit the beautiful Luxembourg Garden and one of the most famous meeting points in Paris - the fountain of Saint Michel.
Shopaholics worry not - many luxury boutique brands are represented in this area: Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent and many others.
