"PAIS 13è
This unique and atypical apartment is located in the Northernmost part of the 13th arrondissement, just one avenue below the Latin Quarter's 5th arrondissement, in a former 17th century convent: ""Le Couvent des Filles Anglaises""--which has its own Wikipedia page as a historic, listed building. The property is a top-floor, 3 flight walk-up apartment which looks down over the convent's own beautiful inner private cobblestone courtyard. Completely refurbished to new standards in 2014 all whilst keeping its original 350 year-old beams, the space is calm, light, open and airy. The double-paned windows are East/West-facing throughout the apartment living areas, and along with its two skylights in the main room, it is sun and light-filled throughout the day. The bedroom and hallway both look onto the courtyard. You are a leisurely 10-minute walk to the cobblestones of the famous rue Mouffetard with its extensive selection of food shops and restaurants, as well as to the trendy Butte aux Cailles neighbourhood with its intimate bars and restaurants bustling with locals. Also a few minutes' walk in one direction is the famous Place d'Italie with its vast array of cafes, restaurants and large shopping center, and in the other direction is the Place Denfert-Rochereau where you will find the commerces of the adorable adjoining rue Daguerre, the entry to the famous Catacombs of Paris, and where you can jump on the Orlybus which takes you directly to Orly airport. Metro Glaciere is around the corner as are the multiple bus stops for buses which will take you anywhere you want to go in Paris. You will live like a real Parisian in this beautifully rare and unique apartment in ""the convent"" where you will be close to everything, yet just out of the crush of tourists."
