This first-floor apartment is ideal for a central Paris stay. You'll find it near Rue Montorgueil, a short walk from the Louvre and Les Halles. Though it's not the biggest, it's a comfortable base for a couple – and the living room's sofa bed offers additional space for two. Wooden beams add character and windows flood the space with natural light. There's even a desk if you plan to work from home. The only downside is the compact kitchen, but that's no bother with restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries practically on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. It's a little tight, so if you'd like ample space for socialising, we'd suggest a maximum guest count of two.
*This apartment is on the first floor of a building without a lift. You'll be expected to climb stairs here.
*The compact kitchen is on the small side. There isn't a real oven, but there is a stove and a microwave. Restaurants and cafes are also nearby if you'd rather dine out.
