Marais Picasso 3 Br/2 Ba A/c Luxury Elevator

Description from the owner

FOR EXACT RATES FOR YOUR DATES PLEASE CONTACT MANAGER - 'MAKE INQUIRY' ABOVE. YOU WILL GET AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE (see below 'Additional notes about taxes and fees'). ***

'Marais-Picasso' was fully renovated by a leading Parisian architect in 2012. Works have been completed to the highest of standards to create what is very much a ‘luxury’ space at the top of the range in our portfolio. The kitchen is fitted with top of the range appliance and walnut work surfaces imported from the United States. Both the bathrooms and kitchen are decorated with tiles from Italy in elegant, natural tones.

'Marais Picasso' comprises 3-...double bedrooms (2 King sizes/2 twins), 1 fully equipped bathroom with tub and stand-up shower, 1 Separate guest WC, 1 shower room with WC, drawing room/dining room (seats 6-8), fully- equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washer-drier etc.

The apartment faces South and is bright. It is on the 3rd floor of an elegant 19th Century Hausmannien building in the heart of the ‘Marais’. Entered via an attractive (recently renovated) vestibule which leads to an attractive, peaceful private garden. There is an elevator which is somewhat of a rarity in this historical neighbourhood.

The apartment's address is 5, rue Froissart, 75003. The Place des Vosges, Picasso Museum and many other galleries and museums are within walking distance. As for restaurants and shops, you are simply spoilt for choice. The closest metro stop is literally a block away, main bus routes pass nearby. That said, it’s central location means that the best way to get around is by foot.

The parquet floors are magnificent (throughout) and unique. There are fitted and elegant wooden cabinets in all rooms, all cupboards, drawers and units for hanging clothes have been custom-made for the apartment. The windows of the Marais apartment look onto no other apartment/building yet over the peaceful courtyard belonging to the apartment’s building. The sofa bed has been tailor-made for everyday use. That said, with 3 bedrooms, you are unlikely to need it.

Fully integrated air-conditioning units have been installed throughout the apartment. Again, recognising that this is somewhat of a rarity in Paris, we believe it is important for those months where your comfort may otherwise be compromised. The apartment is positioned as a high-end luxury product to sleep 6-8 people – very comfortably and the property has been furnished accordingly. Beds include 2 King-Size beds and one Queen which also separates into 2 singles.

My promise to my guests is that they will be as comfortable as in a good 4-star boutique Parisian hotel and for a fraction of the price. To this end, my business model is such that I can offer what I believe to be unbeatable rates for such a high standard of accommodation.

We own a handful of apartments in Paris. My company, Pad-A-Terre (business registerd in France) is unique in that I personally own all the apartments in our portfolio. This means that we are highly streamlined from a cost perspective and can thus offer outstanding value for money for such a high standard of accomodation. Our directory 'Pad About Town' is accessed directly from our site and provides a wealth of information on restaurants, shopping, culture.

Pad-A-Terre has featured in a number of international journals over the past years, including, in the UK national press - The Independent ‘Traveller’ magazine. On the back of the high standard of accommodation that we offer, journalists from the same groups Sunday publication ‘The Independent on Sunday’, selected Pad-A-Terre as the definitive Parisian vacation rental choice: “Live like a local, the magic of moving in...” Both of these articles are available for viewing on our site. We in fact get frequent write-ups in a wide range of international publications. Others include - ‘The Boston Globe’, ‘International Living’ and and the US publication ‘Travel Agent Central:

Additional Location Information

In the historic quarter of the 'Marais', just across the river from Notre-Dame, life, art and culture pour out in a rich stream that splashes the streets with colour. Sip Jasmine Tea at the elegant 'Mariages Frères' where Parisian chic meets colonial ambience. Follow the ancient street signs engraved in stone. Explore medieval alleyways. Push open doors leading to romantic courtyards. Add a fairytale dusting of lavish "hotel particuliers" (private mansions) with gilded gates and graceful gardens and the Marais is the best of Paris distilled into a strong, seductive brew that will leave you thirsty for more.

  Fabulous!

  Left on 07/16/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  My family and I (2 adults, 3 teens) just returned from our trip to Paris where we stayed at the Marais Picasso. The apartment was perfect. Modern, sparkling clean, even fresh flowers on the table for us. Plenty of room for a family of 5 to spread out and relax. It was cool so we slept with the windows open with a cool breeze coming in, vey quiet neighborhood even with the windows open! The metro stop is around the corner, markets for meat, fish, produce, bread and pastries just around the corner on Rue Bretagne. Several wonderful restaurants within a block. Loved it!

  A perfect Paris apartment

  Left on 07/14/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  The six people in my family had a very comfortable stay at this Marais address. It is steps away from a Metro and down the street from cafes, boutiques and a wonderful historic market.
  
  The apartment is modern and clean with lots of windows and light. The owner Mr. Burgess was easy to work with and very helpful.

  Comfort and convenience in a really characterful area of Paris

  Left on 01/05/2012 for a stay in February 2012
  
  

  My partner and I had a really relaxing break staying with friends at this lovely light flat in the Marais. James, the owner, was really helpful in accommodating our preferred dates and arranging for check-in. We had stayed at another of James' properties near the Louvre a few years' ago when it was just the two of us but this was the first time we had rented this larger apartment. The flat was very clean and stylishly decorated, with a well-equipped kitchen and quality linens, and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. There was also a lift which is quite rare in Paris apartment blocks which would be useful for older visitors or those manhandling pushchairs. All of us are frequent visitors to Paris so most of our time was spent being lazy and just soaking up the atmosphere in the local area which was packed with small restaurants and bars and unusual shops tucked away in sidestreets. The food market at Enfants Rouges is great for picking up fresh French produce. However, for those intending to "see" Paris,the Marais is within manageable walking distance of most of the main Paris sights and we were right by a metro station for our occasional trips across town. We just wish that we had been able to stay longer.
