You will feel right at home in this studio apartment for rent located in the Champs Elysees area of the 8th arrondissement.

The studio sits on the second floor (known as the third by Americans) of a 4-story walk-up building. The main entrance gate is protected by a coded system and opens into a hall leading to a second door with a coded system. A long corridor on the second floor provides access to the apartment.

The studio is good-sized, measuring 25m² (approx. 265 sq. ft.), which allows it to comfortably hold its modern furnsishings. In addition to a double bed and wall-mounted television, there is a desk for work or to take advantage of the WiFi Internet, a small sitting area with two chairs for socializing, and an elevated bar to dine upon for casual meals. This can also serve as a counterspace when preparing meals in the compact kitchen. The corner cooking nook pops with color, and holds not only a small refrigerator, microwave and two electric burners, but also a coffee maker, toaster and combination washer/dryer! The set of double glazed windows can be shuttered for privacy or opened for ventilation - they overlook the street, but if you gaze far enough, you can see the Rond Point!

Being situated so near to the famous avenue of the Champs-Élysées allows you to see prestigious shops like Gucci and Louis Vuitton every day!
