227 Luxury Latin Quarter One Bedroom Penthouse  

Description from the manager

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

Gorgeous apartment on one of the oldest streets in Paris which includes a large living room and one bedroom totally remodeled to accommodate four in luxury. 3 minutes by foot from Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte Chapelle and the rue de Buci market street. The apartment is also located barely 7 minutes from Saint Germain des Prés and the Louvre and d'Orsay Museums. Whilst the King and his Court were on Ile de la Cité, Church and students had to find land for the University; they chose the left bank and the Sorbonne was built. As these true scholars spoke Latin, t...he Latin Quarter was born and remains until today.

The area is at the corner of Boulevards St. Germain and St. Michel, the building on rue de la Harpe, in the one of the most evocative and romantic streets of Paris: a series of cobblestone streets that give the place it's very unique charm. The streets have little traffic and are very lively. Restaurants, bars and even a jazz club line the streets. A romantic scene!

The apartment, an extremely quiet and bright penthouse, is located on the 6 th European floor (7 th US). The building is over 400 years old but nobody really knows the exact date, probably around 1600, records have long been lost, but there is an elevator. The building has been recently restored to its original beauty and enhanced with warm tones of beige that complement the parquet floors and the original high beamed ceiling restored and has two doors for added safety.

A typical old wooden door gives entrance to your apartment and you are in the living room. A large sofa that sleeps two, is facing a beautiful limestone fireplace, decorative only, two comfortable chairs, large wooden dinner table that easily fits five and a fully equipped kitchen with an enchanting view on the street below. It’s the perfect setting for romantic dinners and lazy mornings in. An original beamed ceiling rises over the entire living and dining room!

The decoration is a tasteful mixture of classic furniture and the apartment is all about shades of green! A charming brown stone as the kitchen counter, closets filled with everything needed to make that so Parisian dinner. It features a built-in microwave, full size dishwasher, convection oven, coffee pot, toaster, and a four burner electric induction stove. Not to mention the clothes washer and separate dryer conveniently located side by side. The kitchen of this apartment rental in Paris comes complete with all of the pots, pans, and utensils you’ll need, as well as a full complement of porcelain dishes, cutlery, glasses, and quality linens to set an immaculate table.

The bedroom has an extra wide queen size bed, a small desk in the corner, a pretty wall and table lamps to make working or lounging in bed a pleasure. A large window shines natural light and provides romantic views of Paris rooftops. A second flat screen TV and dual standard DVD player and parents can entertain themselves here while children socialize in the Living Room. (click here for FLOOR-PLAN )

The bedroom features an en-suite bathroom decorated in beige tile and features a toilet, a sink sunk into a curved counter, and a full-size bathtub/shower combination with both fixed and flexible shower heads behind sliding glass doors.

This is one of two properties that we offer that occupy the whole top floor of a historic building right in the Latin Quarter. Together, the apartment can accommodate 10 person. The other apartment is ID 226.

This apartment requires a “Meet and Greet” - guests will be met at the apartment and given keys at that time.Read more

  Great location

  This is a great little apartment in the St Germain area. There is a real "vibe" to the area with lots of night life and eateries. Its a noisy bustling neighborhood (lots of students) that can be shut out in this 5th story location. The location s close to all the metro stops and Notre Dame. The apartment is small by us standards but just right for a Paris "pied d' terre". The interior is well done with some nice touches. Much cheaper than a hotel and you can cook with the local produce from the nearby markets. The elevator is so small that we had to travel separately from our luggage. That just added to the fun. This is a good deal for travelers. We would stay there again.
