This charming and recently renovated studio apartment is situated on the second floor of a 17th century building on the northern side of Ile St. Louis, with splendid views of the Seine. Right on the corner of the Quai de Bourbon and the Rue des Deux Ponts, it is a great location for exploring Ile St. Louis and many of the main sights of Paris. The building also houses one of the oldest taverns in Paris, ‘Au Franc Pinot’, which is on the ground floor and very quiet. The building is secured by an intercom device.
Entrance is through a small door next to the tavern, then up a wooden staircase to the second floor. The apartment is decorated with taste and refinement, and features hardwood floors with rugs and exposed ceiling beams. Large windows allow for natural light and are framed by classic blue and gold curtains which complement the antique furniture.
Cleverly designed, there are several living spaces. The sitting room has a coffee table, armchairs and a working fireplace, while the adjacent study area has a desk and bookshelf. A comfortable bedroom alcove, hides a large double bed, and a cable television (main international channels including CNN and BBC) with DVD. Further amenities include stereo CD player, telephone with answering machine and ADSL internet connection. A delightful dining area is furnished with an antique wooden table and buffet. It is a perfect place for a romantic stay in Paris.
