On the third floor with elevator of an elegant "pierre-de-taille" building, on a quiet stair-stepped street in Montmartre, with no through traffic or hint of noise, sits "La Bonne Nobel." Completely renovated in late 2007, this gem is bright, shiny and luxuriously comfortable. Every surface and corner of the apartment has been exquisitely decorated in soothing tones of pale blues, beiges and soft browns.

From the entry door to the apartment, one steps into a mirrored foyer, which in turn opens to access the entire apartment and an open dining area. A specially imported glass and chrome dining table is surrounded by translucent chairs and lit with an elegant chandelier. At close hand is the unique and ergonomically efficient, angled kitchen of luscious wood and iridescent tiles, is fully equipped with a combination conventional and microwave oven, Nespresso machine with a full supply of coffee pods in a range of flavors, a stove top with four full burners and an under-the-counter Whirlpool brand refrigerator.

Next to the kitchen, and hidden behind a beautiful wooden door resembling the kitchen cabinetry, you will find a spacious bathroom with a full sized, glass enclosed tub and shower with a rainfall shower head -- a perfect place to soak your body after a long day of sightseeing. The Asian design influences of the room are most evident by the sink and vanity, which make full use of the room’s large size. Designer towels are abundantly available and can be dried on the heated towel rack. In the mirrored closet opposite the tub are a full sized, separate washer and dryer.

The living room is the heart of the apartment, which has been furnished for both comfort and taste. The floor to ceiling "bibliotèque" wall unit houses the large flat screen Sony television, DVD player and cable TV with over 100 channels. A selection of English language movies is at your disposal as are music CDs.

The apartment’s "den," does triple duty. It has a good size sitting area surrounding a beautiful antique fireplace, with a comfortable queen-sized sofa bed that transforms it into a second bedroom in an instant. In addition there is a large built in desk and shelving/storage unit complete with a brand new printer and office supplies in abundance where one can work or study.

Whether you are planning on working at the apartment, or just staying in touch, the apartment is equipped with free WiFi high speed Internet and Free local and long distance phone calls to over 70 countries, including land lines and cell phones in the U.S. and Canada.

The master bedroom is really “la pièce de la résistance” of this wonderful apartment. A new high-quality queen-sized bed is topped with plush linens and pillows, and promises to make your Parisian dreams last through the night without interruption. A large mirrored closet provides more than enough room for you to unpack all of your things easily.

The Area Around the Apartment:

Rue Nobel is one of Montmartre's most charming staircases -- the Montmartre we now know as depicted in the movie "Amelie Poulain." Cars can't drive down rue Nobel, so it's as quiet a spot in Paris as you can find.

The imposing Sacré Coeur (La Basilique du Sacré Coeur de Montmartre) is just a short walk away, as is the artists' square, Place du Tertre, the Montmartre Cemetery (Cimetière de Montmartre), Le Moulin Rouge and the only working vineyard in Paris.

Montmartre is a hill which claims to be the location at which the Jesuit order of priests was founded and the home to many famous artists who had studios there -- such as Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. At the end of the 19th-century, the area developed into a center of free-wheeling and decadent entertainment. Here is where was (and still is) the popular cabaret, the Moulin Rouge, and at Le Chat Noir, artists, singers and performers regularly appeared including Yvette Guilbert, Marcelle Lender, Aristide Bruant, La Goulue, Georges Guibourg, Mistinguett, Fréhel, Jane Avril, Damia and others.

Montmartre is an officially designated historic district with limited development allowed in order to maintain its historic character. A funicular railway, the Funiculaire de Montmartre, operated by RATP, ascends the hill from the south while the "Montmartrobus" circles the hill.

Le Métro Lamarck-Caulaincourt is just a few minutes walk from the apartment along with several buses. There is no shortage of wonderful neighborhood bistrots, markets, boutiques and amenities of all kinds.

This is a very special corner of Paris with an ambiance all its own that will seduce you, no doubt!
