Central Paris! 2-Floor, 2-Bath Apartment Between Notre Dame and Blvd. St Germain - near the Sorbonne and bordering the Latin Quarter!

Our charming and spacious (63m2) fully-furnished, one-bedroom / two-bathroom duplex apartment in central Paris is located just one block from the Seine and just 300 steps to the cathedral of Notre Dame. The apartment is located on the rue des Trois Portes at the corner of rue LaGrange in the 5th arrondissement.

Featuring a bed and bath on one floor and living, dining, kitchen, sofa bed and a second full bath on the floor above, this apartment is ideal and spacious for a couple on sabbatical and is also perfect as a short-term rental for two couples traveling together or for small families. The apartment could be dangerous for small children because of the semi-open, interior staircase linking the two floors.

Guests can easily walk into the Latin Quarter, up to the lively rue Mouffetard, across the Seine to the islands Saint Louis and de la Cité and from there into the Marais district. Stroll the Seine on a picnic outing or enjoy a riverside walk to the Louvre Museum.

California-based owners are only in Paris for certain months of the year to rent out the apartment directly to guests. We update this website periodically with available dates that work with our plans. Feel free to write to us about other dates that are of interest to you, and we will let you know if we can accommodate your request.

For rental inquiries and quotes, please write to us (with your requested check-in and check-out dates and the total number of guests who would be staying in the apartment) at the following e-mail address: troisportes@gmail.com. For long-term stays, we can only accommodate 2 persons. Small families or two couples are more appropriate for short-term stays. These restrictions allow us to keep more careful oversight on the maintenance costs.

Please visit our blogspot (www.ruedestroisportes.blogspot.com) for more information, additional photos and for previous guest reviews.

Thanks for considering a stay in our central Paris duplex. No matter where you decide to stay, have a luminous time in the City of Light.

This is an elegant and comfortable apartment. On a small street, only a block long, and in a quiet building, one is near the bustle of Place St Michel and Notre Dame, but not of it. It is a short walk to the metro stop at Place Maubert, and the Place has a good market and shops. We come to Paris nearly every winter for 4-6 weeks and usually we take the metro when we don’t have time to walk or the weather isn’t good, but this year we walked nearly everywhere. The apartment is close to shopping, great restaurants, tourist sites, and to great cinemas. Once inside, your luggage can go to either floor via the lift, and you can choose to walk the few flights or take the lift. The owners have the entire 3rd (French) floor, and share the 2nd floor with one other apartment, so there is little foot traffic in the hallways. The shared areas are secure and kept very clean. The apartment is secured by a digicode at the street, a keyed entry to the stairs and lift, and good deadbolts on the entry doors. There is a phone system to “buzz” in guests. The owners’ talent in architecture and design is evident the moment one walks in. Artfully chosen colors complement the furnishings and art from around the world. Unlike many Paris apartments we have rented (I think 10), the furniture, in addition to being stylish, is comfortable. Everything has been designed to make the best use of space, and while having everything one might wish for a long stay, the apartment doesn’t feel cluttered. And unlike many apartments we have rented, everything here is of fine quality—natural fibers, good kitchen equipment and dishes—so it does not feel like a rental. We are academics and were pleased to find reading lamps to be plentiful and well placed. Along with the desk and fast internet, I could work when I needed to do so. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a full-sized refrigerator with freezer. Downstairs, both a washer and a dryer. These are rarities in Paris. Another rarity is the two shower rooms and two wcs. After having spent time in Parisian showers the size of a coffin, it was great to have roomy, stylish showers with good water pressure. The owners have thought of everything. Normally we travel with many household items or buy them once we are in Paris. Mitch sent us his detailed inventory so we left just about everything at home, and wanted for nothing. We had a visitor for a few days and it was great for her to have a very good convertible bed, her own bathroom, and her own space on a different floor. Everyone had adequate storage and closet space for settling in. I especially appreciated the detailed instructions. In our rental experience we have had lots of misfortunes—broken water pipes, nonfunctioning toilets, internet failures, dead lightbulbs, polyester sheets, flimsy towels and no spares while clean ones air dry during a Paris winter, delicate washers—but at Trois Portes, the manual detailed everything—how to use the appliances, how to handle emergencies, where to shop and dine. When we had a very small problem, the owners came right away to make repairs. The apartment is spacious for two, and I imagine it is fine for additional guests for longer than a few days, but I am glad we didn’t have to flip a coin for rights to the 2nd floor suite. We appreciated the attention to detail in this stylish and warm apartment.
