Genevieve

Holiday Rental Description

Those looking for a large, light-filled space near the largest park in Paris may not anticipate also finding meticulously restored antiques, vintage textiles and tons of art – but that’s why we love this home. Somewhat unassuming from the outside, the inside of this home is a marvel of gilded frames, cherub statues and beautiful rugs. This collection of items from disparate parts of the world probably spent at least a few parts of their lives in dusty corners, but here they come together beautifully under the flood of window light – this home is full of real lived-in treasures. Step out on the balcony for fresh air and a morning coffee – unless, maybe, there's a sporting event going on. Set between Roland Garros, the Molitor swimming pool and the Jean Bouin stadium, it's perfect for visitors looking to stay close to game day. It’s also right below Bois de Bologne park, the largest leafy oasis of the city – walk fourteen minutes and find yourself surrounded by picturesque greenery on all sides.

Home truths:
*The close proximity to the Parc des Princes stadium means that the street will be very crowded and hard to access on game days
*While fans are available, there is no air conditioning in this home
*The wifi connection can lag at times, with a speed of 13 mbps
*The home has multiple decorative ornaments and is therefore not suitable for infants under 2 years old
