Overlooking a private courtyard, this southeast exposed one bedroom apartment is located on the sixth and top floor (considered 5th by Europeans) of a 19th century walk-up building equipped with a security system and an intercom. Located in the Gambetta Père Lachaise neighborhood of Paris, it also features magnificent views of the Parisian rooftops.
Adorned with parquet floors that nicely contrast with the white walls and high-ceilings, this apartment has stylish, yet functional décor. Its living room offers a comfortable couch to rest on after a long day hitting the City of Lights, and thanks to the wireless Internet connection available you can surf the web and keep in touch with your friends and relatives on your laptop. You can also sit around the dining table and enjoy homemade meals you prepared in its modern kitchen. The bedroom features a double bed and a desk, while the tiled bathroom is modernly fitted with a shower, wooden mirror, and shelves. This apartment might be the perfect spot for two persons visiting or a couple working in the French capital!
On Rue du Chemin-Vert and Rue Saint-Maur, your one bedroom apartment is located in a traditional Parisian neighborhood located between Bellville and the Gambetta Père Lachaise Cemetery area. Père Lachaise Cemetery is a tourist attraction and pilgrimage-like destination due to the number of celebrities buried there. Roam through the 100 acres (40 hectares) of tombs to find some of the most famous French novelists, scientists, politicians, musicians, and entertainers. Some of the most sought-after tombs are those of Oscar Wilde (which is stained with thousands of lipstick kisses), Edith Piaf, Chopin, Moliere, and Jim Morrison (where millions of die-hard The Doors fans have traveled to pay their respects) and many more! You can reach it after a 1/3 mile (approx. 1 km) stroll to the end of your very street, where you can also find the closest and most convenient metro station, Père Lachaise, on the 2 and 3 lines.
In the same distance to the south the renowned Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Paris (ESCP), a business school and the Voltaire station on line 9. A little farther south experience the excitement of the Bastille neighborhood or wander to the west where Place de la Republique can be found. To the north and just two stops away on the 2 line is Parc de Belleville. In this northern part of the 11th arrondissement you can hike up to the highest point in the city. From here you will have incredible views of the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur and all the famous sights!
A really well-lit apartment with plenty of space and all basic things needed. The owner is lovely, flexible, friendly and willing to accommodate.
