The Paris Studio Rental is a branch of the LaSalle Bed & Breakfast, based out of Fort Wayne Indiana, offering attractive pricing and top amenities better than most hotels on the 38 Rue Daguerre, full of market shops. You will find its affordability better than most hotels, with all Paris at your feet, an attractive option for experiencing the most visited city in the world. With a kitchenette and
bathroom with a shower, the main room features a 19th century bedroom set with a hand crafted three-quarter bed and matching armoire and nightstand. Such beds, wider than a single bed but not as wide as a double bed, were and are widely used by couples. (We have slept comfortably in it during our stays in Paris.) A second bed, a loft full bed, is accessed by ladder. The studio can sleep four, especially if you spend your daytime outside in the city. If you spend time inside, it is intimate and cozy for two. Beyond the bed set, the main room currently has a leather armchair, two folding chairs, and a buffet. It also has 32” flat screen cable TV on the wall (with some English-language channels, best viewed from the bed and armchair), WiFi, and telephone offering free calls with unlimited minutes to US land or cell phones. The large window with break-proof glass allows you to leave the studio safely during the day with the window tilting open at the top for ventilation. Traditional shutters lock closed at night. The kitchenette has a small table for two, a small oven, a microwave, and a washing machine as well as a refrigerator under the countertop. The bathroom has a shower. Normal hotel room amenities like a hairdryer and iron are included. The street, Rue Daguerre, is named after a French inventor of photography. It is celebrated for its open air food and specialty shops drawing Parisians from all over the city. It is like a village in the heart of the city. It is largely pedestrian, closed off to cars. The studio is on the ground floor, immediately behind the interior court in a renovated 1884 masonry building. The cleaning lady can be contacted if need be during your stay. Because of France’s location right off the Atlantic, Paris’s weather is mild most of the year. January is the coldest month with the average minimum temperature falling to 37ºF (3ºC). The temperature rises gradually from there and July has a pleasant average of 79 F (25ºC).Rain is common though it falls less in winter than in any other season. Winter has the occasional snowfall, but it usually melts fast. Summers can have an occasional heat wave. The studio has fans, but (as is typical in most French homes) no AC. The street is in the famous Montparnasse district, a world center for artists of the likes of Picasso and authors like Hemingway and Faulkner between the two wars. It is two blocks from the Montparnasse Cemetery where composer Saint Saens, short story writer Guy de Maupassant, poet Baudelaire, scientist Henri Poincaré, philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre (in the same tomb with feminist Simone de Beauvoir) are buried.
