| The Rue des Martyrs is the Parisians' Paris. It's alive with a wonderful selection of specialty shops selling all the things that make your stay in a Paris apartment a real French experience! Within a short walk are the Gustave Moreau Museum, the Vie Romantique Museum, Montmartre and Sacre Coeur, Palais Garnier Opera. From the nearby St Georges metro, there's direct service to Musee d'Orsay, Montparnasse and the Latin Quarter. The flower shop opposite fills the sidewalk with colorful blooms all year round.
Push open the heavy street door and you will find yourself in a delightful cobbled courtyard, protected from street noises. The apartment is up one flight of stairs. Large windows overlook the courtyard and benefit from the summer sun. Some 600 square feet, it has an old-fashioned charm, furnished as the owners' winter residence with an eclectic mix of old and new, including polished parquet floors and shutters rather than curtains. The hall leads to the dining room with its antique dining table. There's a cozy sitting room with ancient leather armchairs, and a comfortable double sofabed. Beyond is the bedroom with its double bed (alternately accessed via a passage from the dining room). A simple but well-equipped kitchen contains a washing machine, among other appliances. An old-fashioned bathroom offers tub and shower attachment, with a separate WC. Initial Linen included. Gas central heating. Parking in courtyard for one car driven by skilled driver!
