Registration number : 7510110128541

Found in a lovely building in the heart of Paris is this compact but functional studio apartment. Just steps from the Louvre and the Les Halles plaza, mall and transit hub, this apartment has a convenient location near the intersection of Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau & Rue Etienne Marcel. The 17th century apartment building has beautiful classic elements like a winding wrought-iron stairway and a marble lobby. A security system protects the main entrance gate.

Situated on the 3rd floor (considered the 4th floor by Americans), this furnished studio receives plenty of light from the double window that overlooks a nearby street. Measuring a quaint 18 m² (about 194 ft²), the apartment uses the space efficiently, allowing for a living area with a sofa near the windows, a kitchenette with a dining area, and a lofted bed in addition to the private bathroom.

The sofa is near the window, facing a small flat screen TV and a set of shelves that can be used to arrange your belongings. There is a decorative fireplace separating this section and the kitchen area, which has a small fridge, 2 electric burners, a toaster and a coffee maker. There is also a microwave in the room. A table suitable for two allows you to enjoy simple meals cooked at home.

Off the hallway, you will find the bathroom and the ladder that leads to the lofted mezzanine where the double is found. Please note that the ceilings are low in this sleeping area, which is open and overlooks the kitchen directly. For storage, there is a small closet where clothes can be hung, and two baskets and the shelving in the living area.
