About this apartment rental
Nestled under the eaves of a 17th century mansion. This atypical apartment of 100 m2 is in the heart of historical Paris. A treasure trove of architecture and originality with a dream setting. Come live at 4 in a unique apartment!
This magnificent apartment, at least atypical of 100 m2 is located in what is called a "mansion" built in the seventeenth century, known as "the Aubray hotel" with an exceptional character whose staircase and certain architectural elements are listed as part of the history of the seventeenth century. It was the home of the famous and sulky Marquise de La Brinvilliers.
These are attics that have been completely refitted by the owner architect. Immerse yourself in a unique universe made of old wooden beams, period tiles, unusual objects, travel souvenirs, unique creations (it must be said that the owners are in the design). The apartment hides in its recesses unsuspected pieces, cleverly camouflaged storage. It offers big surprises: like this bathtub overlooking the rooftops of Paris that allows you to see everything without being seen! This shower with a view of the sky ... Or this double room that disappears under the curtains in the hallway. The living room is extremely friendly and warm with a beautiful kitchen fully equipped with gas heaters will be suitable for "chefs de passage". Windows in each room (5 in the living room! ), and throughout the apartment give a very beautiful light to the entire apartment.
For comfort, heating and hot water are produced by an individual built-in and invisible boiler.
From March 2019 there will be a scaffolding in front of a part of the windows of the apartment for roofing work above our apartment, for a period of 6 to 8 months.
Thank you for your understanding.

This home is cozy and comfortable. The building is old and charming and feels very royal. The building is old enough to be historical, but well maintained enough to feel as though it captures the a romantic Parisian vibe. Located in the heart of Marais close to everything, but (and this is so important) away from the loud streets. Lots of local restaurants, shops, and easy access to public transportation. The home has everything you might want as it is truly someone's home and feels cozy as such. The bedrooms have air conditioning units that are so fabulous for sleeping. Items to be aware of are first and foremost the steps. There are exactly 85 steps up into the apartment. I am a mid 50s pretty out of shape woman, but what I lack in good physical form I make up for in tenacity so these steps were not a big issue for me. I did have to rest on occasion walking up the steps (and I was grateful the luggage only went up once and down once). Stephanie did a great job of adding the photo of most of the stairs so you can see the amount of climbing needing to be done. (so the stairs are not a secret). For us, they added to reaching a quiet annex with beautiful light and a very quiet French hideaway. The king bed in the master bedroom is dreamy comfy and my 19 year old daughter slept in the two twins put together in the hall room. She said the beds were extremely firm. Bottom Line: This is a safe, secluded apartment in a lovely area that is close to everything Paris has to offer.

Our family of two adults and two teens stayed here for five nights, including around Bastille Day. The photos and description were perfectly accurate. We loved the apartment and the neighborhood. It was close to three metro stops, several grocery stores, the Coulée Verte Paris (Paris version of NYC high line), the Marais, etc. but away from the craziness of tourist areas. We were just a few blocks from the Bal des Pompiers (Firemens's Ball) on Bastille Day Eve, which was a unique experience for a visitor. Communication with the owner was prompt, and she was extremely helpful whenever we asked a question during our stay. We were there during a rather warm spell, and the AC units in the living room and main bedroom were able to keep up, while two Dyson fans kept the second bedroom fairly fresh. You are in an attic, so I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the temperature was maintained in the heat wave. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This unit is amazing and the host are incredible—truly staying in someone’s actual home—right down to the spices, water, grains, etc. My only advice is that if anyone in your group has any mobility issues and/or are not in good shape maybe the stair would be too much—

Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the attic apartment. It's a bit of a climb to reach the top, but it's good exercise and the apartment is well worth the steps. Stephanie is very friendly and responsive. The kitchen is large and well appointed. The apartment is also a short stroll from the Saint Paul metro station, so getting around was easy. We would certainly stay here again on our next trip to Paris.
