We think this apartment is the pinnacle of chic. It has all you need for a comfortable stay with its elegant living area, compact but sleek kitchenette, and stylish bedrooms (two of which are en-suite). Sure, it's a bit snug for all nine people, but that's a small price to pay, given the location. You're in the heart of Paris here, an easy fifteen-minute stroll from the Eiffel Tower and even closer to the Hôtel des Invalides. Exploring on foot couldn't be easier, especially with a handful of metro and train stations close by offering quick connections to the rest of the city.

Home truths:
*Though there's enough bed space for ten people, the maximum number of guests is nine. With everyone present, the living space may feel a little cramped.
*Though this apartment is on the ground floor, there are about ten steps to reach the front door.
*As is common in France, some bathrooms (including the en-suites) lack toilets. However, there is a WC in the hallway.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair upon request.
*An unsupervised water-filled basin fountain is in the building's common areas, so please take care with little ones.
*The kitchen is compact and doesn't have a lot of counter space. We think it's better for lighter fare – plenty of eateries are a short walk away.
