One bedroom apartment on the sixth floor (no elevator) under the roof of a building built in 1890. View of Parisian rooftops. Very lively and cosmopolitan neighborhood. Lots of gourmet shops, cool bistros and loads of amazing French restaurants (Bistro Paul Bert, Le Chardenoux, Le Vieux Chêne, L'Ébauchoir) between Bastille and Père Lachaise Cemetary, and a great bakery right across the street (La Patisserie by Cyril Lignac.) If you want the best (award-winning) morning pastries in the neighborhood I have another address for you. There is a great farmers' market—Marché d'Aligre—a few blocks away, the only Parisian farmers' market opened 6 days/week. The Marché d'Aligre is comprised of a mini flee market and a covered market full of food vendors.
For those who like fashion, shopping for clothes and accessories, there is a trendy area a few minutes away by foot.
CLEAN to American standards. Warm and cozy in the winter with on-demand radiators, and cool in the summer with the windows open and the East-West breeze blowing through the house.
Wifi/use of iMac.
Free unlimited calls to landlines in the USA.

Coffee-maker, French press, toaster, kettle, De Dietrich gas stove with an electric oven, dishwasher, full-sized fridge.
Full bathroom with a washer and a dryer; towels are provided.

Close to metro lines 1, 8 & 9.
Nearest metro stations: Faidherbe-Chaligny (line 8) and Charonne (line 9), and a few more blocks away: Reuilly-Diderot (line 1)—this one's direct to the Marais and the Louvre museum.
