The apartment is located at 4bis rue du Cherche-Midi. It is 74 square meters (800 sq. ft.) on the 5th floor (4eme etage), facing south toward an attractive double courtyard. It is quiet and sunny. There is an elevator. The neighborhood is elegant and relaxed. The location is one of the best in the city, on a charming street, a few blocks from Saint-German des Pres and Saint-Sulpice, with easy access to three different subway lines and at least a dozen buses. It is right down the street from the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and a fifteen minute walk to the Seine, the Louvre, and the Luxemburg gardens. The apartment is fully furnished, including two convertible double beds that can be used as sofas during the day. The furniture is Scandanavian in design or similar. There are comfortable leather armchairs, oriental rugs and attractive prints on the walls. The apartment has a good stereo and television and an Internet and wireless connection. There are two bedrooms on one side of the entry hall, and, on the other side of the hall, a large living room, the back part of which can be used as a sleeping alcove. The hall can be closed off from either side. The toilet and bathroom are off the hall and so accessible from either side. The arrangement is especially practical for families with children. (See floor plan below.) The kitchen has the usual European equipment, including a dishwasher. A washer-dryer is in the bathroom. The entry door is armored and there is an interphone. The building has a concierge. There are schools and underground parking in the neighborhood. For rent by month, semester or year, depending on availability.
