Description
Located on the top floor of an eighteenth century listed building on a quiet leafy street opposite one of the city's most romantic flower markets.A ten minute stroll in any direction takes you to some of Paris's most famous landmarks. Wander South to the Ile de Cite and Notre Dame, East to the Hotel de Ville, North to the Centre Pompidou and West to the Louvre.
The bright and airy apartment has stunning views over central Paris. It has been simply modernised retaining its historic features and its quirky "artist's garret" feel. However it is also extremely comfortable and well equipped.
The living area opens onto a South facing balcony. It has an inviting sofa area with bookshelves, satellite televison and wireless broadband. We often stay in the apartment and it is full of interesting books and CDs which you are welcome to use during your stay.
We love gathering around our big oak dining table and there is a fully equipped kitchen with everything you might need to wine and dine. And the view from the sink of the twinkling river at night certainly takes the edge off washing up!
Both bedrooms are drenched with natural light and have French windows which open onto small balconies. The double beds have extremely comfortable Dunlopillo mattresses and there is plenty of storage space.
The bathroom has a good power shower and heated towel radiators.
If like us you are passionate about food then this is a great part of the city to base yourself in. One of the country's oldest and most loved gourmet food markets on Rue Montorgueil is a short walk away. Below the apartment is one of the best boulangeries in Paris. There are masses of places to eat within five to ten minutes walk away...from lively sidewalk restaurants to haute cuisine.
The apartment is a home from home for us and we hope it will be the same for you.

Top Notch!
"We had the most perfect stay at this apartment in March (thanks so much Clare!). The apartment lacked nothing and was appointed in a most stylish and practical way throughout. With the wonderful location, we walked pretty much everywhere and dropped back in to refresh ourselves before plunging back into the beautiful city again.
Situated in a relatively quiet position, I would recommend the apartment for anyone who wants to feel a part of the centre of Paris without too much noise - the perfect combination in our case. Top notch."
Highly recommended!
"I can highly recommend staying at the Architect's Eyrie. The location is fantastic and so much of the City can be explored on foot. The area has lots of good restaurants and cafes and we were spoiled for choice. The apartment has everything you could possibly need for a stay. The instructions provided by the owner prior to our arrival were very comprehensive and reassuring - I had every confidence that we would be met on arrival and that our stay would be stress-free, which it was."
Recommend to anyone!
"We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was better than we were expecting - bigger than I imagined, more light and in such a lovely area. We enjoyed the fabulous Boulangerie at the bottom of the apartment block, good shopping, lots of restaurants and it is practically on top of Chatalet train station - very convenient. Everything was clean, all kitchen utensils provided and plenty of linen. The washer and dryer were small and slow, but we may feel that way because we're used to our Aussie machines. I would recommend this apartment to anyone. "
Lovely apartment
“ We stayed in this lovely apartment early November 2008. This was a great apartment! I would definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable and the apartment itself was clean. The location was very convenient since it was close to the metro, grocery store, Notre Dame, Seine, Louvre and post office. It was nice to wake up when we wanted to in the morning and have breakfast in the apartment then be on our way. It was also great that there were many helpful books to research places we wanted to see and read recommendations from others who stayed there. We would definitely recommend others to stay here!”
Ideal in every way
I want to let you know how very perfect your apartment is and that our stay at 24 was ideal in every way. When the taxi picked us up Friday morning, it was snowing – what a beautiful memory of a wonderful trip. Thank you again for all of your considerations.”
Spectacular views!
“The location was perfect and the views spectacular! We loved the close proximity to the Seine, restaurants, supermarket, garden stores and pet stores! We enjoyed how quiet it was at night. The caretaker was very welcoming and informative. We would definitely stay in your apartment on our next visit to Paris and will recommend it to our friends.”
Home away from home!
Thank you for allowing us the chance to stay in the beautiful apartment you call your home in Paris. We have had simply a wonderful time – every second of it savoured – from my morning run along the Seine, to visits to museums, to becoming friendly with the local proprietors and just the superb ‘hanging out’ at home - our home away from Australia was just superb. Thank you for the many guide books, the quality of the utensils and equipment and the obvious great energy you have put into the place
Just thrilled!
We were just thrilled with the apartment. It’s clear you’ve thought through everything: the kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are absolutely the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. The location is truly ideal for transportation, sight-seeing, eating, shopping, everything
Paris How It Should Be
You know you have selected a wonderful apartment when after returning home you are homesick to be there again. We miss it already. It is full of light during the day with skylights in the bathroom and kitchen and two large windows in the kitchen and full glass doors opening onto small balconies in the main room and each of the two bedrooms. The light is captured in the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the main room and large mirrors over the fireplaces in the main room and master bedroom. The living/dining room and kitchen are one big room, but each somehow its own space without walls and as one big room make the apartment feel spacious. The view of the Sainte Chapelle spire just across the Seine is picked up in the mirror. It is lit up at night as is the Hotel de Ville from the main balcony. There are metal rooftops and that great stone architecture all around. They are not only beautiful but are great noise blockers, so the apartment is remarkably quiet. At night the apartment feels cozy. The beds are comfortable; the kitchen adaptable to cooking sole meuniere, etc. should one wish; the shower is good; and the collection of books and a few well-chosen CD's were much appreciated. The location brings many of the main attractions within walking distance and the entrance to the central subway hub is one long Parisian block away. We hope to make it our home away from home once again in the not-too-distant future.

Fantastic apartment with great views
I would 100% recommend this apartment as the perfect base for a Paris visit. It's right by the river, with balconies in each room to sit out and take in the views of Notre Dame, the Seine, the glorious Paris rooftops and the beautiful theater opposite. It's very centrally located - the subway/mainline station on the doorstep is one of the major hubs, with about a dozen lines passing through. And with the Louvre, Pompidou Centre and trendy Marais district a ten minute walk away from the front door, there's so much to do on foot too. I travelled here whilst quite heavily pregnant, but there's a lift so no access problems - and great top floor views. I was with two girlfriends and there was plenty of room for all of us in the apartment. We found the apartment really clean and comfortable, not to mention stylish - love the mirrors, Picasso prints and great library of guidebooks and novels to peruse! The space is really well organised, perfect for relaxing after a day's sightseeing, cooking up a storm in the well-supplied kitchen or maybe putting together a kir to sip on the terrace. Extras like the coffee machine, beautiful chinaware and herbs/spices for cooking all really added to the wow factor. Before we travelled, the owner was very helpful with directions to get there and local recommendations. We also found the 'guest book' a great inspiration for places to eat and particular suggestions for museums and shopping. We didn't want to leave and will be back!
Date of Stay: October 29 – 5th Nov 2010
