This pretty little studio apartment (of 23 sq. metres) is situated in the 4th arrondissement, part of the area of Paris known as the Marais. "The Marais is one of the most seductive districts of Paris - old, secluded, as lively and light-hearted by night as it is by day, and with as many alluring shops, bars and places to eat as you could wish for." (The Rough Guide to Paris, 2001).
Rue des Ecouffes is a small one way street running down to the rue de Rivoli. The apartment is in one of the many 17th Century buildings in the area.
On the 4th floor (no lift) it faces an internal courtyard so it is free from traffic noise. It has 3 big windows and faces South West.
An electric 'wood burner' look stove keeps you warm in winter (all electricity included in the price)
