Bright airy room in the heart of Paris.

A lovely, light and airy, fully furnished room available in apartment to share on a long-term basis in the practical St. Lazare/Opera area. Wifi internet. Hardwood floors. Recently renovated fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with great full sized bathtub. Great light all day long. Hardwood floors. Great heating in winter time as each room has its own radiator. Great transport (Metro, RER, Bus, Taxi) to everywhere just steps away at the train station. Walk to anywhere in central Paris. The space The apartment is on the fourth floor of a five floor apartment building. Actually, all the buildings in this part of town seem to be limited to five stories. The building has a nice entryway and an elevator. There is carpeting on the staircase. It tends to be quiet at night as this is not a tourist venue. And...I chose to live here because it is simply a conventional middle class environment, not a bohemian or quaint or old fashioned place which you would find in some other neighborhoods (Montmartre, the Left Bank) because often those places are poorly heated and have atrocious kitchen and bath facilities and poor lighting. Guest access Room, entry hallway the length of the apartment, bathroom and kitchen directly across the hallway. It's really a nice compact but varied living environment. Sort of like a studio except you have a nice sized bathroom and fully equipped separate kitchen, which many studios don't. During your stay Always available down the hall when I'm in town, or by skype and phone when away. Other things to note The Gare St. Lazare next door is a commuter train station, largely for professionals who live in the chic western suburbs. This also means that nearby are loads of modest priced neighborhood french restaurants and trendy international food places as well which service them at lunch time but are uncrowded in the evenings. (A major tech giant has its home office just down the street...) There are two Parisian cafes just around the corner from our building, two pastry shops, two Chinese takeout places, etc. and the train station has a couple of mini supermarkets which are fully stocked so grocery shopping is right at hand. And, while the station offers lots of transport options for going anywhere in Paris, this neighborhood is also in easy walking distance of Opera, Madeleine, Concorde, the Louvre, the Champs Elysees in one direction, and Montmartre in the other direction. If I had to compare, the location is a bit like living in Manhattan within walking distance of Central Park, convenient, central, urban living one of the world's greatest cosmopolitan capitals. :)
