Nestled in a quiet courtyard in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, this home is an ideal base for a family on a Parisian stay. We love the light-flooded, open-plan living room and kitchen, with the wooden beams adding a touch of character. It’s worth noting that two people will draw the short straw and sleep on the sofa bed in the living area at full occupancy, but it’s no real hardship in this sleek space. As an added bonus, there’s a basement games room here – just the spot for unwinding with loved ones.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*There's no air conditioning here, but a fan is provided for guests' comfort.
*As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom here.
*Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
