Apartment rental in 17th Arrondissement Batignolles-Monceau, France - Manifique Monceau - le vrai Paris - Property 51189

The apartment is tucked away on a tiny side street, providing a quiet haven after a day (or night!) in the city. Once inside you will find a bright, well laid out and inviting pied a terre. The apartment has windows on both sides, which provide light throughout the day. The wide plank, herringbone parquet floors date the apartment to sometime before 1875 and some of the antique furniture is from the same era. Original ceiling mouldings adorn the main rooms of the flat. The entry foyer of the apartment has a large storage area for extra linens, towels, coats, suitcases and more. It's a great spot to drop your bags after a day shopping around the street market. This foyer leads directly into a living room with large windows, an antique armoire and bookcase (with plenty of guide books about Paris) as well as a traditional, French gold mirror over the fireplace. Bright and sunny, the dining room has a lovely antique table making it just right for enjoying a meal at home or

Liz, Malcolm and Lizzie - UK : • We had a great time in Kate's flat. It was well thought out, well equipped and very comfortable. It was great having access to the internet whilst away from home and not having to go looking for an internet cafe (which I have never used but was willing to try). The only time we looked at the TV was to look at the liberation festival information on Wednesday. We saw the tanks and other military and civilian vehicles having extremely noisy practice circuits around the Hotel de Ville area on the Tuesday evening which was very interesting. Just a bit of information in case anyone else asks, we parked the car in the garage at the end of rue Claude Pouillet at a cost of 66 euros for 10 days (much better than 2 euros per hour on the street!) and it was very easy to organise. I'll be in touch with you before our next trip to Paris, until then - take care.

Wayne & Kaarina – Toronto, CA 14 August 2006: • We have been to Paris several times but this is the first time we rented an apartment (vs. hotel stay). What a fabulous idea! Thank you for your hospitality. We really felt at home here and enjoyed living in this neighbourhood – so lively and colourful! Being so close to the metro has been excellent and being able to contact home via Internet was such a blessing being away for so long. The apartment flooded with sunlight with the windows open so we could hear the Parisian street noise! Paris in the anytime is always wonderful and we were glad to have stayed here this trip. Thank you for providing such a lovely home away from home! Summer & Jill 19 August 2006 • After travelling to seven countries in 30 days, this beautiful apartment was straight out of our dreams. We loved the small town atmosphere, the welcoming people, and the feel of a home away from home. One of our most favourite past times was cooking dinner after shopping on the Parisian streets.
