About the home

The apartment is a duplex, (2 floors), downstairs are the bedrooms and bathroom, upstairs is the kitchen and living area leading out to the terrasse. The apt has been completely renovated using natural materials, while retaining the original features - parquette flooring, wooden beams, fantastic glass walk in shower. A charming terrasse, (with table and chairs) where you can spend time drinking a glass of wine, catching up with your reading or just soaking up the atmosphere. It has 2 bedrooms with queen beds, a bathroom, (the toilet is located in the bathroom) and a large living room with a single sofa bed.

Lots of space with a modern kitchen with top of the range appliances, such as a SMEG American style fridge to store all the lovely wine and champagne you will need.

The street, rue de la Harpe is situated in the heart of Paris Left Bank, the Latin quarter, nearest metro St. Michel, and Clunny La Sorbonne.

This 750 sq ft (75m2) large duplex apartment is four floors up (no lift) but with plenty of light. You will appreciate the the peace, quiet and privacy that only being on the top floor can bring. The street is pedestrian, so no traffic noise, which is a rare find in Paris.

Note: Paris is a small and busy capital, be careful of 1st or 2nd floor apts as the street noise outside can be loud.

Fantastic location for evening strolls, boat trips, great food and wine bars all on your doorstep. 'Sex and the City' and the 'Devil Wears Prada' were all filmed near by!!

Please note that there is no lift, the apt is on the 4th floor of the building. Access using the staircase.

The Paris/Ile de France region

Rue de la Harpe is right in the middle of Paris' 5th and 6th arrondissement.

Latin Quarter 5th arrondissement
Nicknamed Quartier Latin or the Latin Quarter after its originally Latin-speaking student population at Sorbonne University, this area has a small-town feel and a boho style.

A vibrant mix of students, artists and young professionals dominate the district and the trendy Boulevard Saint Germain.

Along Quai de Montebello are stalls with old prints and knick-knacks. Visit Rue Mouffetard for art shops or take in some jazz at one of the hang-outs on Rue Galande.

The 5ème is named for its necropolis, Panthéon, resting place to Paris celebrities such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo and Zola. This district also has many visitors to its Natural History Museum.

Saint Germain 6th arrondissement
Saint Germain is Paris' boho-chic district, with an array of art galleries, boutiques, modern cuisine and Place Saint Sulpice with a designer flea market.

The Luxembourg palace and gardens are also located in this district. Built for Marie de Medicis in the early 17th Century, the palace and its gardens are a sprawling beauty.

Famous for its café culture, Saint Germain maintains intellects' cafés from last century, for example Les Deux Magots, once frequented by Hemingway, Sartre and Picasso.

The Central Paris / 5th / Ve area

"We love the fact that the apartment is so peaceful, yet just step outside and you can experience the fantastic parisian charm of the area. A really parisian experience."

Our apartment is located in the famous rue de la Harpe, a pedestrian cobblestoned street two-minute walk from Boulevard St. Germain in the heart of the Latin Quarter. It is within an easy stroll of Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, the Sorbonne, Sainte-Chapelle, Jardin des Plantes,the Bastille, Marais and Isle St. Louis, etc.

Great for those who love exploring the city on foot, never need a taxi!

Fantastic location for evening strolls, boat trips, great food and wine bars all within a 10 min area.
The neighbourhood is perfect. Did we mention the five-minute walk to the twice a week open air market at Place Maubert, with the most fantastic cheese shop, a must for cheese lovers.

Eurostar station Gare du Nord 15-20 mins on RER B, Airports 30 mins RER B station St Michel on door step.

Feedback questionnaire sent back by Maria UK (family of 4, stayed April 2011).
Did the apartment meet you expectations?
33 Rue de la Harpe certainly met our expectations and more.

Was the apartment clean on your arrival?
The apartment was clean and tidy on our arrival and we had the pleasure of meeting Fadela who showed us round the apartment and told us how the cooker, lights etc all worked.

Were you happy with the location? Absolutely perfect – it could not have been better!

Did the apartment meet your expectations in terms of quality/price?
Yes it did. It was good value for money – better than staying in a hotel for sure.

Would you recommend our apartment to your friends and family?
Yes most definitely. I have already recommended the apartment to friends at work should they be looking for somewhere to stay in Paris.

Thank you so much – we had a wonderful time and will most certainly try and return in the near future. Paris is a charming beautiful city with so much to see and do.



We had a lovely stay thanks and thanks for all your advice. We ate in Café Ernest which we liked and found the staff very friendly. The apartment was in such a good location and was great being so central and not too noisy.
Helen & family, 'News Years Eve' Dec 2010 - Jan 2011

Great apartment in a fantastic location which does not cost the earth. We had such a lovely stay. The apartment had been cleaned to a high standard and we found the British owner really friendly & helpful, from the start. She provided us with a lot of information to help us plan and enjoy our Christmas stay.

This is an absolutely charming duplex apartment in a great area of Paris. Is is within walking distance of just about everything, and also has several metro stops nearby. The owners are absolutely lovely and really made our stay a memorable one. Would definitely go back! Oct 2009

Alba Gutierrez Gomez , Spain
Great apartment. A great convenient location. A fun bustling street, yet an extremely quiet apartment. Really comfortable, great loft feel, fantastic furniture and a great big Smeg fridge. I would definitely stay there again... and again. Owners were really helpful. June 2009

Cath and family, London April 2010
Just a note to say we had a lovely time, the flat was great, just right.
I couldn't believe how quiet for such a busy area.
I hope we can return at some point, I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Paris!
