Fabulous Paris Apartment with a view to die for
Review Submitted: December 18, 2008
Date of Stay: November 2008
Lived as Parisians for the month of November in a very special location in the heart of Paris. Out of the window St Severin Church, down the road the beautiful river Seine, and Notre Dame Cathedral, a sightseeing paradise. Location location location makes this elegant apartment a joy. Come up 3 flights of winding stairs carefully through the various security codes into a world of your own. Unless you have front windows wide open to St Jacques below the double glazing keeps the apartment peaceful, a large comfortable double bed in the master bedroom at the back where one can sleep with the windows open away from traffic noise is to be treasured. An adjoining bath and shower a few steps away from the master bed is very handy and luxurious, a separate toilet for if there are guests. A very helpful fluent English speaking French lady who is on call to service the apartment at request gives peace of mind. Use the Tues, Thurs and Sat market at Place Maubert and the adjoining butcher and boulangerie for your french bread plus the Boulangerie on Rue Galande for good patisseries. A pattiserie a day keeps the doctor away, we often had two! Cooking your passion? The Place Maubert market even has fresh fish for you to cook in the apartment on and there is the gorgeous Place Maubert cheese shop closeby for dessert with grapes. A microwave in case you get take aways from the Chinese Restaurant downstairs so you can heat it up next day! A huge fridge to keep your goodies fresh. A very elegantly furnished apartment of large proportions with excellent facilities including TV and phone, iron and iron board and a dishwasher and washing machine/dryer, even a drying clothes horse. A number of beautiful coffee table books on Paris/France. An apartment clean and appealing to the eye and very much loved by its owners in New Zealand. Very much to be recommended to visitors to Paris, everyone should be so lucky to go and live as a Parisian at 17 Rue St Jacques with cuisine so delish at famous restaurants such as Procope and I'llot Vache and of course all the famous sights easy to get to such as the Eiffel, Le Louvre, Montmarte, go cycle around! The attractions, activities and restaurants are endless. A fabulous folder full of ideas and instructions to get around Paris await you when you arrive to help you get the most of your Parisian adventure, do take the opportunity, enjoy!
