Description
The Beaubourg Two Bedroom apartment was fully renovated and furnished in 2008. This is a new addition to my collection of apartments and is available to rent as of April 10th 2009 and after this date.
This apartment is located a few minutes walk from the Beaubourg Pompidou Center, and from the Paris City Hall (Hotel de Ville), so is very centrally located in the 3rd arrondissement or district of Paris (the Marais area). The apartment is thus well positioned to enjoy many of important historic sights of Paris on foot.
Housed on the 2nd floor of a typical small 18th century Parisian apartment building (no elevator), the Beaubourg 2 Bedroom offers high standards of comfort in a convenient and quiet central historic district for a reasonable nightly rate per person.
The Beaubourg 2 Bedroom is located courtyard side, ensuring no street noise and the apartment has phonic insulation in the ceiling and walls to ensure minimal noise from surrounding apartments. Although there are no real views from the windows, this is a very quiet apartment.
The apartment, at 51 square meters (approx. 550 sq. feet), is compact like most central apartments in Paris, but sufficiently large to accommodate 4 to 6 persons. The front door leads directly into the living/dining area which is a functional room with white walls and wooden flooring with area rugs. There is a sleeper sofa, coffee table, armchairs, small dining table and chairs, flat screen TV with cable (CNN, BBC channels in English) and DVD player with a selection of DVDs included in the apartment. Wireless high speed internet access is available.
The kitchen area is compact, new and looks directly onto the living-dining area. The kitchen includes a small fridge, stove top burners, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and cupboards with pots, pans and dishes for up to 6 persons.
The bathroom and the two bedrooms all have independent access to and from the living-dining room. The bathroom is spacious and has wooden flooring, a bathtub, a clothes washer / dryer unit and sink with vanity and toilet.
The bedrooms are off the living area and have a clean relaxing appeal: all in white with firm new bedding. One bedroom has a Queen bed along with a built in armoire for clothes and nightstand. The second bedroom includes two single beds and night stand and dresser. This allows up to four persons to sleep in the bedrooms as well as an additional sleeper sofa which can sleep two persons.
Area
The Beaubourg apartment is within the historic central section of Paris: within 10 minutes on foot you are in the heart of the Marais (Picasso and Carnevalet Museums, Place des Vosges, and other major architectural attractions primarily from the 17th and 18th centuries). Also within walking distance is the Pompidou/Beaubourg Centre, Place de la Republique, and Les Halles and the Hotel de Ville (Paris City Hall). The nearest metro stops are Arts & Metriers, Rambuteau and Temple stations.
The Beaubourg apartment is located on a small street, thus there is very little traffic. The street is not 'fancy', but it is quaint, quiet, safe and includes traditional Parisian apartments as well as workshops, a small theater for plays is just down the street.
Just one block away from the apartment is the Arts & Metiers Museum (see photo of Museum above, it is in an old church/priory), which houses the collection of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers, founded in 1794 as a depository for the preservation of scientific instruments and inventions. The museum is housed in the priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs and includes over 40,000 objects at the Paris site, including older cars and airplanes and an original version of the Foucault pendulum.
The Beaubourg, just 3 blocks from the apartment, is a major cultural and educational complex primarily housed in and around the Pompidou Center. The complex includes a theater, library, the Modern Art Museum (the main Modern Art Museum in France, and one of the largest in Europe) and a center for music research. The Pompidou center receives over 6 million visitors every year.
Near to the apartment are many restaurants, cafes and shops. A larger grocery store is on boulevard Sebastapol, just 5 minutes or so walk from the apartment (called Mononprix).
