300 sq. feet apartment, 2nd floor with elevator. Separate
living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, WC. Sleeps two
persons.
Although small, the apartment has been ingeniously designed
to make maximum use of the available space - and due to
the inspired renovation of the apartment there is no lack
of freedom of movement and or any sensation of confinement.
The furniture is modern and comfortable and the original
Godin iron stove in the working fireplace conveys the 'fin
du siècle" spirit of the area with its elegant late 19th
century design.
The kitchen is practical, superbly equipped and ideal for
cooking meals with the ingredients easily obtainable in
the immediate vicinity. The bathroom (shower only) is "en
suite" from the separate bedroom and is equipped with elegant
fittings and a warm towel rack.
Rue de la Reynie is a tree-lined pedestrian street, so
little or no traffic but for complete quietness, there are
sound-proof windows. To avoid any excess heat in summer,
there is full air conditioning for both rooms.
EXTRAS: Cable Television (including CNN) and video player,
Hi-Fi stereo system for both cassettes and CD's, a washing
machine, and several convenient telephone connections enabling
easy access for computers/e-mail.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: Situated in the heart of the historic
Les Halles and Chatelet area, this is an apartment which
could not be more central. Walking distance to Le Louvre,
Notre Dame, the Pompidou Centre and Marais and the elegant
fashion boutiques in the shopping streets around La Place
des Victoires. The Forum des Halles is a four level shopping
mall with hundreds of shops, cafés and restaurants and a
50 meter heated swimming pool. Also, there are over a dozen
cinemas, many of which show original version US and English
films. Barely 5 minutes walk away is the famous Rue Montorgeuil
- a thriving remnant of the original Halles which is now
a gourmet food paradise with a choice of 5 boulangeries,
4 cheese shops, 3 fishmongers and a host of other tempting
speciality food shops - as well as several small supermarkets
for more mundane items. You'll find everything you've ever
dreamed of…and some things of which you may never even have
heard!
