MARAIS at ARTS ET METIERS, Up To 4 Guests  

Description from the manager

PARISIAN LIVING IN A PARISIAN QUARTER

Located on the 3rd floor (French) of a 19th Century building constructed in 1830, this apartment measures 40sqm (or 430sqft) and offers quiet, charm, comfort and lots of natural light. A complete renovation was achieved in July 2010 with the assistance of a local young talented architect and interior designer, Romain Dard. The common areas of the building have also undergone a renovation with an eye to preserving original design and beauty. Ideally southwest oriented, the apartment enjoys full natural light all day long. The main room measures 25sqm (270sqft) and consists of a living area, dining ar...ea and an open kitchen. The living room is perfect for relaxation after a full day of exploring and discovering Paris. There are two very comfortable club chairs and a large sofa bed. The entertainment system consists a large flat screen TV offering more than 100 channels in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian and other languages, a sound system (please feel free to listen to music from our personal CD collection), a DVD player and a Wi-Fi connection made available to all guests. Unlimited free phone calls from the apartment telephone are available for all calls within Europe, Canada and the USA (except special and mobile phone numbers.) The dining area is located at an angle by windows and consists of a contemporary glass table with chairs.

The kitchen has been painted a brilliant red and is fully equipped with a dishwasher, an induction cook-top, a combination traditional and microwave oven, a large refrigerator and freezer and a clothes washing machine. Within the Chinese cabinet and in the kitchen cupboards are located eating utensils, dishes, glasses, tableware, napkins, place mats, kitchen towels and cooking equipment.

The bedroom is large and contains a queen size bed, very ample closet space and is separated from the living area by double sliding doors. There is also a large window looking on to the inner courtyard; the window dressing consists of outsized darkening drapes, which allow for isolation and complete quiet for late morning sleep-ins. During renovation much attention was given to materials for the bathroom, which offers a contemporary style washbasin, toilet and enclosed shower. The bathroom floor is of slate and the shower walls are done in stone from Italy. The result is a wonderful spa-like experience conducive to calm and relaxation.

Additional Location Information

The 3rd arrondissement has become in the past several years one of the preferred areas of Paris for residents of the Capital as well as visitors in the "know". As the 4th arrondissement has become increasingly saturated with chic and expensive boutiques and restaurants from the Place des Vosges to the very exclusive Ile de la Cite, the 3rd has come into it's own. Bordered by great boulevards on its northern eastern and western boundaries, the atmosphere of the old Marais still dominates here with its array of narrow cobbled streets. Restaurants and cafes, markets and boutques in this district are more reflective of a true Parisian life style than are other more frequented areas. That's not to say that the 3rd is lacking in major sites of interest, some of which include the Archives Nationales, the Carnavalet Museum, the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers and the Picasso Museum. Food shopping streets also abound such as the rue de Bretagne with it's well known open market of Les Enfants Rouges and the rue Rambouteau, while the famed rue Montorgueil is not far away. Art galleries have also established themselves here in force and on particular nights of the week one can take in the contemporary art scene sampling one gallery's exhibition after another while enjoying wine and champagne during the frequent vernissages or "openings" which take place within the 3rd arrondissement.

  Tidy and efficient apartment

  Left on 03/29/2012 for a stay in March 2012
  
  

  I stayed here with my husband and parents for 4 nights. We enjoyed being able to have some light meals - the market place at rue Montorgueil was within walking distance and for the basics, the Monoprix is on rue Sebastopol. We explored the 3rd and 4th arrondisments on foot and found some lively spots near Temple & Rambuteau. Some quick facts: It is three flights up to to the apartment so be sure you travel light. The bathroom is modern and has a heated towel rack. The beds were very comfortable. Wifi worked quickly. There is a folder with useful information in it as well as a local map. We enjoyed being able to open the windows verses forced air you find in a hotel. I imagine it could be noisy in the summer. It was my first time choosing to use an apartment instead of the ease of checking into a hotel and I would do it again.
