Spacious studio/one-bedroom apartment with open plan design
Our spacious Grenache studio/one-bedroom Paris apartment measures 390-square-feet and easily accommodates up to four people in comfortable splendor. Located on the fourth floor (fifth floor American) of a modern building, the apartment has been completely remodeled and features beautiful parquet floors and large sliding glass doors that open onto a balcony, wonderful for sitting out on and relaxing at the end of a long day. There is a bedroom behind a glass brick wall with an extra-wide queen-size bed, and the living room has a comfortable double sofa bed. We have also installed a mobile air conditioning unit in the living room for those warmer days.

And, with its location being so close to the Seine and within a few minutes walk of some of Paris' most impressive highlights, it was irresistible.

Enjoy free internet, free calls and cable TV
On the right hand side of the living room is a desk for working at your computer, with shelves, flat-screen TV, DVD player, and CD stereo above. The TV has cable access to you can watch several English-language channels. The DVD player is dual-standard so you can bring your favorite movies along with your favorite music for the stereo. We provide a free high-speed Internet connection; bring your laptop and you can access emails and stay in touch with family and friends back home.

Open the sliding glass doors and step out onto the balcony; we've added a beautiful bistro table and two chairs so you can sit outside on warm days. Being able to relax during your Paris vacation in a comfortable Paris apartment is what we at www.parisperfect.com are all about.

Relax in the open air on the balcony of our Grenache rental
Having a balcony is a cherished amenity in a Paris vacation apartment. The view is out over the courtyard of this modern building and there is a beautiful garden to the side. It's nice to relax out in the open air at the end of a long day of sightseeing and shopping. You can buy the paper around the corner every morning and enjoy your fresh croissants with café au lait - or dine al fresco on warm nights.

Sunny living room with high-quality sofa bed
The living room is bathed in light, with the original parquet floors giving it a warm feel. The sofa is of the highest quality and converts into a very comfortable double bed for every night use. It's especially great because you don't need to remove the cushions to pop it open and there are no uncomfortable supporting bars to interrupt your sleep.

Behind the sofa, a contemporary glass brick wall separates the apartment living room from the bedroom area. The glass wall almost transforms our Grenache rental into a one bedroom apartment, a rare feature which means you have separate spaces to live in during your stay.

In addition to a comfortable armchair that faces the sofa, the two padded bar stools along with the upholstered dining table chairs means there is plenty of seating for everyone. You can sit back and relax with your feet up on the two ottomans, or use them as a coffee table.

Apartment has a dining table plus bar area for quick meals
The dining area of our Paris short term apartment rental is next to the kitchen and features a pretty marble bistro table that seats up to four. The bar separates the kitchen from the living room, and with two comfortable bar stools, it's perfect for sipping your espresso here in the morning or a glass of wine in the company of friends at night.

Just beyond to the left is the entryway, with an original brasserie coat rack for hanging your coats when you walk in. The bathroom is to the left as you enter the vacation apartment rental. It's truly an excellent layout, warm and inviting and a pleasure to return to after a long day of sightseeing.

Newly remodeled kitchen with modern appliances
The newly remodeled kitchen of our Paris short term apartment rental features teak floors, sleek white cabinets, and plenty of blond wood countertops.

With a large window for good natural light and modern lights suspended above the bar, the kitchen is brightly lit and a pleasure to use. Here you'll find a dishwasher, under-the-counter refrigerator with freezer, two-burner stovetop, combination microwave-convection oven, toaster, Nespresso cappuccino maker, drip coffee maker, and all the glassware, cutlery, and serving dishes you need to prepare lavish meals. The kitchen also houses the washer-dryer so you can do your laundry.

Enjoying good food is a passion of Parisians and is the highlight of everyone's visit to Paris, so we put a great deal of effort into designing and stocking the kitchens of our rentals. Having a kitchen with everything you need to dine at home is a distinct advantage over staying at a hotel. In addition to the tremendous cost savings, you also save yourself the time and trouble of having to get dressed up for every meal. And there's nothing more Parisian than enjoying your own freshly brewed coffee out on the balcony.

Chic glass brick wall separates bedroom from living area
Our Grenache studio apartment in Paris has been beautifully designed throughout, including the bedroom area that is separated from the living room by a chic glass brick wall. The light streams through the wall from the living room, yet it provides privacy as well. The extra-wide queen-size bed is richly decorated in high quality linens and is very comfortable. We insist on buying the best mattresses available, the same as those used by the finest hotels, and we only use the best high-thread-count sheets. We want you to get a great night's sleep so you can fully explore this fabulous city, so the bedrooms of our Paris vacation apartments are designed and equipped with that in mind.

Opposite the bed is a large built-in closet for storing your clothes and luggage. We've also saved space by mounting fashionable bedside lamps on the wall that are excellent for reading in bed.

Paris studio apartment bathroom with shower, sink and toilet
The newly remodeled bathroom of our Paris studio apartment features a full-size, glass-enclosed shower, sink, and toilet. Stylish teak floors and complementing wooden shelving are a distinctive touch. There is a large hot water tank for long showers, and a heated towel rack for the plush white towels we provide. The bathroom has great lighting and the added convenience of hooks for hanging clothing or toilet kits.

Modern toilet set in its own niche

The Eiffel Tower is simply stunning at night!
The Eiffel Tower is located in the neighborhood of our Grenache studio apartment. Make sure you're there in the evening when it is bathed in soft, golden light. Then watch as it bursts into thousands of twinkling lights, for 5 minutes at the top of every hour.

The Champ de Mars gardens surrounds the Eiffel Tower
Run, skate, rent a bicycle, play basketball or simply enjoy a slower life as Parisians do on the old green wooden benches.

Grenache studio apartment is a 2 minute walk from the Seine
We love the Left Bank, with its proximity to other charming arrondissements and its own abundance of monuments, restaurants and specialty stores. We especially love being so close to the Seine which divides Paris into the Left Bank -- known for fashion and artists-- from the Right Bank, where the more staid and business Paris is located, including the Marais to the East. When the sun starts to set along the river, we love to wind our way home to the 7th arrondissement with its 'village' atmosphere.

Stroll along the Seine to Place de la Concorde
What better way to end a day than to take an evening stroll along the Seine to Place de la Concorde?

Rodin Museum and Invalides are a two-minute walk away
Walk to the incredible Rodin Museum, a fascinating testament to his sculpture. This was once his home and the grounds, which feature many of his creations, make a perfect place for a picnic.

Just a little further on is the Invalides, a golden domed masterpiece of French Classical architecture built by Louis XIV. You can visit Napoleon's tomb here as well as the Musée de l'Armée. The museum houses the finest collection of arms, armor, and uniforms in the world and is especially renowned for its enormous collection of Medieval Armor.

Walk across the street to purchase warm and buttery pastries
Step outside the Grenache studio apartment in the morning and walk across the street to purchase warm and buttery pastries from one of our favorite pastry shops. They supply some of the finest restaurants in Paris and you will recognize their breads when you eat at the Michelin starred Violon d'Ingres around the corner. Part of the fun is to try a different pastry to take home to your Paris apartment rental for dessert or tea; an important part of discovering Paris.

Studio apartment is surrounded by cafés and restaurants
Staying at our Grenache studio apartment rental means you are literally surrounded by cafés and restaurants where the locals dine.

Walk a few blocks to the famous rue Cler market street
The location of our Paris studio apartment is the best part of all. The rental is on the Left Bank in the 7th arrondissement, one of the safest and most popular in Paris. The apartment is a few blocks from the famous Rue Cler market street where you'll find great cheese shops, fresh fruit and vegetables, butchers and unique gift stores.

Grab a basket and head to the local markets!
You'll see many Parisians heading to the local markets with their baskets or shopping trolleys.

Fresh baguettes from the local boulangerie
You'll love staying in the 7th arrondissement; purchase fresh bread daily from the local boulangerie or walk to one of three open markets where you'll also find fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables and even lobsters from Brittany!

Buy fresh flowers from one of the nearby open air markets
We love the 7th arrondissement because there are more Open Markets here than any other neighborhood in Paris. Walk to one of three open markets to buy fresh flowers, the best cheeses from the farmers who come in from Normandy, fresh breads, fruits, vegetables, and even lobsters from Brittany.

Fresh fruit and vegetables can be purchased daily
Enjoy shopping the many fabulous open markets in the neighborhood anticipating the joys of preparing the amazing variety of fresh foods available. Most French people believe in buying their ingredients daily, which is why they don't need large refrigerators - a bit of culture we'd do well to adopt. The French have also mastered the art of ready prepared meals, so whether you're in the mood to cook or not, you can still enjoy fine dining, easily prepared in your kitchen and enjoyed at home.
