Paris Apartment - Studio in Mouffetard, Latin Quarter - Panthéon (PA-4321)

This studio is a marvel in design, equipped with space-saving pieces and carefully chosen furnishings. Located in the Mouffetard area, the apartment is on the ground floor of a 3 story building with a lovely interior courtyard, embellished with plants, a pleasant sight to look upon from your apartment. The very pathway outside of the building has been immortalized by the famous Parisian photographer, Eugène Atget. A digicode system provides entry to the building itself.

You will have it all in this former convent building dating from the 17th century! In the 1800s, it was converted to an artisan workspace and now houses apartments. Combining modern design elements with vintage furnishings from the '50s, the studio really stands out as an original! Downstairs you have the living area with a loveseat and small dining table that can fold out to provide extra space. The kitchenette can be hidden away behind a door that swings out from the wall, and is equipped with two electric burners and a small sink, as well as a microwave and coffee maker. Shelves provide an open space to put the dishware, and the bathroom and a closet hide behind sliding doors. Around the corner you have the stairs, which also function as shelving and even has a pull out desk to make a workspace! Upstairs is the lofted bed, which is open to the living area below; it is a double size mattress with shelving built into the wall.

A personalized list of recommended restaurants in the area, as well as the best shops for pastries, baguettes and other treats, will be provided by the owner. There is also a general guide to the 5th arrondisssement in the studio, so you will be living like a local in no time!
