The large and bright rooms include a living room featuring seating and dining areas with everything you need to entertain 10 people. Three full-length French windows, make the room bright and airy. The hundred-year-old herringbone patterned hardwood floors are covered with beautiful Persian rugs.
The master bedroom is generously proportioned, with a king-sized bed. Two full-length French windows add great light and a soft breeze on summer nights. The second bedroom features two single beds that can be put together to make a queen-sized bed. The clean-lined kitchen is thoroughly modern and fully equipped. It’s ideal for indulging in gourmet cooking after shopping for top-quality ingredients at the Montorgueil open market, a block away from the apartment.
