44 Maison Don Pedro Two Bedroom Apartment  

Description from the manager

Please inquire for Availability. Availability calendars may not be accurate.

If you would like a spacious vacation rental apartment in the center of Paris, which is quiet and comfortable - this is it! This large apartment with high ceilings is 110 m 2 and has the bedrooms on opposite sides of the apartment. Plus, something that is rare to find in Paris...an oversized living room. Tall windows bring in lots of light and grace the adjoining dining area, which opens up the space even more.This is the very heart of Paris, near Les Halles and the Pompidou Museum and square, with several metro stops only a few minutes walk away. Chatelet even... has the suburban RER trains calling, so it is a direct shot to/from the airports or Gare du Nord for the Eurostar.

You will be within strolling distance of so many places to see, Notre Dame about 5 minutes, the two little islands in the Seine with all their cafes and shops only 10 minutes, the Louvre only about 10 minutes away and just beyond is the Musee d'Orsay as well.

This is a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. The master bedroom has a queen size bed for 2 adults and has an 'en suite' bathroom of rose colored marble with both bathtub and a separate large shower. The WC is just 5 feet outside the bedroom in the hall. There is a window in the bedroom out to a small service area on the back of building, with several large closets and features an ink painting from North Korea.

The second bedroom is located just off the living room area and is partitioned by Japanese style sliding 'Shoji' doors, which open completely during day to make it a nice sitting area as well. There is a very comfortable European style queen sofa pullout sleeper which measures 160 cm. The full bathroom is also ‘en suite’ and has both a tub and shower combo with the shower head affixed to wall, sink and WC.

The apartment is furnished with some upscale furniture, Roche Bobois sofas, Mies van de Rohe chairs and coffee table, original paintings, Travertine floors, and Oriental carpets. The open living room has a sofa and bench with cushions, which can also can be slept on, but these are only recommended for children or young adults as the sofa (not a pull out, but rather just a normal couch) measures 60 cm (24 inches) wide by 185 cm (73 inches) long. A built-in bench has 2 cushions on it and is the same width as sofa but a little longer at 210 cm (82 inches) in length. A set of sheets will be provided for these if you request beforehand, which must be made up by guests directly.

The lovely dining room sits next to the large oversized windows that view out to the courtyard and provide a charming place to dine or just to sit and relax with a beverage. The kitchen is a conventional French style with older appliances and offers place settings for eith or more people. This is a grand old building, with huge wooden entry doors at street level and an inside staircase that has been declared a historical monument. On the 1 st European floor (2 nd US) with an elevator as well. The apartment is on the backside, which means a very quiet atmosphere and stay for you.

This is a large comfortable apartment where most guests will enjoy their stay and gets good reviews. But there are what some might consider a few "worn areas" which the photos may not show. Most notably the bathrooms and kitchen have older cabinets which are worn and while clean may, look "tired" - some cracking or peeling of cabinet wood is apparent. The decorative marble and especially wall coverings in the large bathroom are worn and sometimes do not stay in place. Throughout the light colored marble floor is a stone and has many small natural openings which can appear dirty even though it has been cleaned.Read more

  44 Maison Don Pedro Two Bedroom

  Left on 09/17/2009 for a stay in August 2009
  
  

  The apartment is centrally located in a very good area. You can enjoy nice walks to restuarants, Notre Dame, shopping and bars at night. The Louvre and tube are within walking distance. However, the condition of the apartment definitely needs a "face-lift" or major cleaning. The pictures look a lot better than actual. I was disappointed to find out that the "2nd" bedroom is not a permanent bedroom. It was equipped with a sofa bed and the mattress was soiled and too soft. We had 4 adults and requested a 2 bedroom apartment. One of us had to stay in the couch in the living room. It is a bit pricey for this kind of arangement. We could have booked two nice hotel rooms instead. There were only 2 rolls of toilet papers for 4 of us over 3 days' use. It is hardly a "luxury" apartment in my opinion.

  Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We do agree with you that the apartment does have some well worn areas as stated on the webpage. The property has never been listed as a luxury. We think for this very large apartment (110m's) it is very well priced. In regards to the 2nd bedroom, you are correct that it is not a permanate bedroom, but is partitioned from the living room by Japanese style sliding doors. Again, this is noted on the webpage. I'm sorry that you were not completely happy with the choice of apartment. We hope that you will contact us again in the future and we can help choose an apartment that better fits your needs.
