Item Description

Located in the heart of the Marais on Paris’ Right Bank, this beautiful, air-conditioned boutique rental apartment has been meticulously remodeled and is the ideal vacation accommodation from which to discover one of Paris’ most desirable neighborhoods. Tastefully decorated with original artwork, including music-themed pieces by its American (Portland-based) musician owner, the apartment perfectly combines style and convenience. The Marais Retreat is located among many famous sites and museums (Maison Victor Hugo, Musée Picasso, Centre Pompidou, etc.), and also near many charming boutiques, cafés, and fabulous fresh food markets.

Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by tall French windows overlooking the impressive Hôtel d’Amelot –a 17th-century hôtel particulier– original stone walls, and herringbone wood floors. The property was artfully renovated to combine modern lighting and amenities while honoring its historic origins, creating a comfortable and authentic atmosphere. The living room provides a cozy spot for relaxing while gazing out the large windows. The modern open kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including wine cooler and Nespresso machine. With an integrated table-bar, the kitchen proposes the ideal context for socializing and creating your own gourmet meals.

The apartment’s spacious master bedroom features a queen bed, desk and office area, and plentiful closet space for your luggage and Parisian purchases.
The bright second bedroom has a sofa (trundle bed) that converts into two comfortable twin beds. The beautifully designed subway tiled bathroom boasts a soaker tub, a full counter and mirror above the sink, and an Italian marble rainshower. A complimentary Aesop toiletry kit is provided with each rental. The separate W.C. features its own sink and toilet.

The Marais Retreat is a retreat in every sense, a place to relax, a home base for exploration, and a lavish space to simply enjoy. The Marais is a wonderful historic neighborhood known for its architecture, hip shops and galleries, restaurants, gay and Jewish population, and central location. You are surrounded by famous hôtels particuliers and you can walk to Rue des Rosiers’ famous falafel shops, Seine River, Ile Saint-Louis, Notre Dame Cathedral, Left Bank and so much more.

The winning bidder will enjoy the use of this luxury Marais apartment for one week. Note that the apartment sleeps up to 5. Depending on the season, it rents for $3,500 to $4,250.
