There is just one word for Rue Spontini – magnifique. This three-bedroom home in the fashionable 16th Arrondissement welcomes up to five guests who want to experience the ultimate Parisian city break. Combining simple modernism with a celebration of the traditional architectural features of a vintage apartment, Rue Spontini is a charming juxtaposition between the old and the new. You’re just a short walk from the city’s best attractions, including the glorious Bois de Boulogne park, the Arc de Triomphe, and of course, the Eiffel Tower.
The 16th Arrondissement is the pride of Paris. Filled with stunning parks, attractions and the city’s finest museums, it’s the chic quarter where the wealthy and famous live. Despite its location in the very heart of one of the most important cities in Europe, it retains a ‘village’ feel and is filled with family-run restaurants, bistros and cafés. This is where you start your day with the best coffee you’ll ever taste, accompanied by buttery, flaky croissants, before strolling around the Museum of Modern Art or the Palais du Trocadéro.
Rue Spontini walks a delicate balance between two very different interior design styles, but it does it with aplomb. The living room features ornate stuccoed walls and period fireplaces balanced with minimalist furniture and bespoke art. The kitchen is reached through two archways and has every appliance you could wish for. The dining room takes another décor concept – industrialism – with a bold dining table and signature light feature. The master bedroom has a double bed and access to the bathroom with a walk-in shower. Bedroom two has a single bed, while bedroom three has two single beds. A second bathroom completes the layout.
Rue Spontini manages to balance some contrasting interior motifs that complement rather than clash. It's all done with that flair and sophistication that Paris is so famous for, topped off with an eye for detail that ensures everything 'fits' together perfectly. With a premium location on the 16th and so much personality, this apartment is just right for long weekend breaks or cultural holidays in the centre of this magnificent city.
