Swell Apartment Paris, France, Overview

SWELL APARTMENT PARIS - REVIEW

If Paris is the most romantic city on earth, this is one of its most intimate boltholes. A gorgeous bedroom whose handmade double bed is tickled by goose-down bedding, translucent drapes and the fronds of a chandelier; a cosy salon with silken chaise longue and dark-wood panelling; a steamy shower room, compact kitchen and tall windows looking onto the bustling lanes of arty Montmartre. You can just picture Ewan Macgregor and Nicole Kidman holing up here for Le Moulin Rouge (which is only a few blocks away).

At heart it’s just a typical Parisian apartment, set in a 1914 art nouveau apartment block; so you’ll be living among the locals. But alongside original parquet floors and elaborate cornicing, the British owners have added high quality fittings (pocket-sprung mattress, huge shower head), some thoughtful touches ('honesty' library, CD player) and a few sensual whims (a boa-feather lampshade, 'AMOUR' spelled out in big letters on the wall). The result is an indulgent but unpretentious boudoir, perfect for a couple on a short break in gay Paree.

HIGHS

The romantic touches: chaise longue, chandeliers and candle-light (B.Y.O. champagne). Even the shower cap in the bathroom is embroidered - with rosebuds!
It’s a fascinating district, with great bistros, clubs, sights and metro stations in walking distance; but the flat's off the tourist track and mercifully quiet at night
Good neighbourhood shops and a well-appointed kitchen, with tiny table for two, allows for lazy DIY brunches (and even cozy dinners, at a pinch)

LOWS

Don't expect lots of space: the whole flat is only 39 sq.m (420 sq.ft), but that's more room than you get in a hotel
Steep stairway and no lift to the third floor
The chaise longue in the living room isn’t really made for lounging on – but it looks great!
No less than 3 night stays allowed
