Located on the top floor of a majestic Haussmanian building, Apartment Elegance features four spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms with two separate toilets, a long balcony overlooking rooftops and Sacre Coeur in the distance, two smaller balconies, a double living and dining room, study, and a large, fully outfitted kitchen.

This apartment is located a short walk from the charming and hip Canal St. Martin; the trendy northern Marais; the tree-lined Boulevard Richard Lenoir with its famous food markets and children’s parks; the cafés, restaurants and fashionable boutiques of Faubourg St. Antoine; and the blossoming restaurant scene of Parmentier, Oberkampf and Bastille.
This lovely apartment spans the entire floor on which it is located, providing the type of privacy rarely experienced in typical Parisian apartment buildings. Passing through the entrance’s double doors, one is struck by the sheer size of this modern Paris vacation rental. Two comfortable salons, a dining room seating up to eight and a north-facing balcony spanning the entire length of the apartment invite you to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing and exploration. The sunlit kitchen is fully equipped with all the modern amenities you need to cook your own French gourmet meal, and open-air markets offering the freshest ingredients are just minutes away. There is a small balcony off the kitchen for a coffee or a sunlit moment.
The apartment’s four spacious bedrooms, all bathed in natural light and each featuring unique decorative touches and charm, are roomier than standard Parisian hotel rooms.
Master Bedroom: The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, large desk and a decorative marble fireplace. French doors open on to a balcony, inviting you outdoors to enjoy your morning French pastries while admiring everyday Parisian life below.
Second Bedroom: Across the hallway, the spacious second bedroom is equipped with a queen size bed and decorated with maritime, Scandinavian touches. Two sets of French doors open to a second balcony with no immediate vis-à-vis, providing a true impression of space and calm.
Third bedroom: The third bedroom, with a full size bed and charming study alcove, includes an en-suite bathroom with rain shower and two double sinks. The south-facing alcove is a perfect place to relax, read peacefully, pen postcards and chronicle the day’s explorations.
Fourth Bedroom: The fourth bedroom, outfitted in rosy hues, is equipped with a queen size bed. It too has double-pane French doors leading out on to a balcony.
Three of the bedrooms share the second bathroom, with another rain shower and double sinks. Two separate WCs are also located close to these bedrooms.
FLOORING: Please note that the flooring in this apartment is antique French parquet and is delicate. Please do note attempt to move any heavy furniture, as it will result in damage to the floor.
