This duplex apartment is located in a conveniently central spot right in the heart of the Rive Gauche, by Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Unlike most of our homes, The Taxonomist benefits from offering actual hotel services – there's complimentary daily cleaning and a manned reception desk just in case you need anything during your stay. With more traditional interiors like its kitchen and bathroom to cover the basics, this home's superpower is definitely its top floor terrace. This stunning asset offers an awe-inspiring setting for a drink or meal at sunset.
