Live in the heart of the Marais!

Description

This beautiful, perfectly maintained apartment is in a 17th century building in superb condition on Rue Vieille du Temple in the heart of the Marais in central Paris. It's close to multiple Metro lines, including Line 1, the best in Paris, but you can walk everywhere too! (Notre Dame, Musee Pompidou, Latin Quarter.... Seine is a four-minute stroll.) You're also surrounded by more than 30 restaurants, cafes and bars... plus your boulangerie, fromagerie, boucherie, primeur, many parks, etc. Numerous shops are just out the door. If you're here during the two-week Olympics period, note that this apartment is NOT in one of the restricted tourist zones. It'll be easy to get around. The apartment itself is accessed through a security door into a private cobblestone courtyard, then through an interior building door. There's a large (very large for Paris!) elevator and a dramatic, wide circular staircase taking you up to the 3rd floor (or French deuxième étage). The apartment has multiple tall windows that open wide and overlook a large, secret, cobblestone courtyard with trees, a garden with roses, and other rooftops. This beautiful view is another unique perk of this apartment. The apartment has ancient beams on the ceiling, is beautifully furnished, and has a large bedroom with a queen bed, a comfortable pull-out sofa bed in the living room, a marble dining table, a large desk, a fabulous multi-function shower, kitchen with all you need, washer/dryer, lots of books (including plenty on Paris that you can enjoy), a built-in smart TV, etc. The apartment is light-filled, quiet and peaceful. No AC (few old buildings have it) but it stays remarkably cool in summer thanks to the courtyards and old stone walls.
