You will gaze up at the Eiffel Tower every morning when exiting this gorgeous building, from this truly Parisian apartment that features a very quiet and relaxing stay for those who seek peace of mind and tranquility! It features extra high ceilings, very handsome and tasteful decorations, plus separate kitchen, bathroom and even a large walk-in closet. It is located on the ground floor, but not on the street side, rather on a quiet courtyard.

Recent (Feb 2010) upgrades include new paint plus a comfortable new double size sofa bed in living room.

You will be just a few minute walk to reach the base of the Eiffel Tower, as it looms high above you, beckoning you to be whisked up one of its 4 elevators, or for those more adventurous types- you can climb up to its second story (and they won’t even charge you to do this!).

This is a very prestigious and luxury neighborhood, home to several Embassies and Consulates, yet almost a private street, with little traffic. Your neighborhood is rich in stores, shops, with a great bakery and butcher just around the corner. There are several cafes and restaurants within a few minutes stroll (less than 10mins). Just a minute walk from your building lies the expanse of the Champs de Mars, a beautiful large park and gardens that sits between the Ecole Militaire and the Tower. It offers much more than pretty flowers to look at (!): get into step with the many joggers there every day, including the military men running in unison some early mornings, or use the basketball courts, or let the kids loose in the playgrounds. There are even pony rides and frequent Puppet Shows for the toddlers, plus they can try their hand at racing peddle-push miniature cars around a short make-shift track if they like, or even pony rides!

Of course you can find several snack bars, a merry-go-round and even an idyllic rusticated little Café (see picture). Take time to sit on a bench and watch the parade of locals walking their dogs, sometimes using them as a catalyst to meet new friends with pets as well! The summertime brings out a sea of people, just relaxing and picnicking on the grass in front of the Tower, with Ohh’s and Ahh’s escaping every time the Tower’s light show goes off on the hour .. (Another freebie!).

You are sure to admire the building, every time you go in. It is a posh, elegant, turn of the 20^th century hand-carved stone façade apartment building with beautiful iron and glass entry doors, carpeted and marble floors and an antique wood and iron elevator. Luckily though, you will not need to use this, as you will be on the same ground floor as the street, towards the back of the building. There is excellent security in the entry of the building, for this secluded neighborhood. Your apartment is extra large at 54 m² (about 580 sq feet) and has one bedroom with a double size bed for two adults. In the living room is a comfortable double pullout couch. Also there is a fold-away twin size single bed-cot which is kept in the closet for a young adult (this unit is about 6.5 feet long a 3 feet wide).

You will instantly notice how very quiet and serene the apartment is, as it faces on the back courtyard. After a busy day of sightseeing and shopping, you will be glad to return to this apartment where you can assured a peaceful stay and sleep. You will also note the extra high ceiling with ornate and gorgeous hand carved moldings, on it and above the doorways, plus the rich decoration. Thailand-made silk curtains, carpeting throughout and well made furniture.

The bathroom has a bath-tub as well as a shower (combo type, shower inside tub). The WC is completely separate, and can be accessed without having to cross the bedroom or the living room. The kitchen (now a bright cheerful yellow) is small but is also separate from the rest of the apartment. See below for amenities.

You are close to several metros for transport; the Motte Picquet station has lines 8, 10, and 6 and is only a 5 minute walk. Or you can access the RER line C at the foot of the Tower, to go Versailles or the St. Michel and St. Germain area of Paris.

Come and experience this elegant neighborhood and be assured a quiet and relaxing stay. Enjoy this grand Parisian home with so many attractions just outside your door on the expanse of greenery that is the Champs de Mars! And be sure to go the top (almost 1000 feet) of the Eiffel Tower, any way you like!
