Spacious (54 sq. meters) Loft on a Private Courtyard

.
Formerly an artist's atelier, the north wall given over to an enormous window, this is our cherished pied-a-terre which, as retired teachers with flexible schedules, we are pleased to share with guests on a short or occasionally long term basis. The apartment is located in a private courtyard at the end of a cobblestone street just off Place Basch, the bustling heart of the XIV arrondisement (once described by the NYTimes as the best kept secret in Paris). Excellent public transportation (the #4 metro line two minutes away, the 92/38/68/62 bus lines directly across the street ) puts it within easy reach of even the more remote corners of the city as well as of all major universities. The neighborhood itself abounds in excellent restaurants , in convenient shopping from large supermarkets to specialty shops, in small tucked-away gardens or the magnificence of Parc Montsouris for a picnic on the grass. Even the Luxembourg Garden is a 15 minute walk or 8 minute bus ride away.
Entry to the courtyard is protected by a digicode and gardienne; we are on the second floor but, with double volume ceilings, this is the equivalent of a fourth (with elevator !). The exposure is north/south with light as a constant from the north window and from two windows on the second level facing south. On the loft's first level: a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area that seats six people easily, comfortable couches, an entry with ample closets. On the second level: the studio area with a single bed, desk and chairs; adjoining is the bedroom with double bed, ample closets, and the bathroom with basin, WC and large shower. Here too, ample closets! A short flight of stairs connects the two levels.
All linens, towels, etc. are supplied; the kitchen is completely equipped with microwave and fan ovens, washer/dryer, refrigerator, halogen 4-burner stovetop and all cooking equipment. Air conditioning in the form of a reversible ceiling fan recently installed.
A TV set, a printer/scanner are provided as is a free ADSL connection and WiFi, free telephone calls worldwide; all utilities AND maid service of 4 hours twice monthly included.
