With Poissonnière Paris Métro station a three-minute walk away and the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est train stations under ten minutes, this apartment's location makes it easy to explore Paris and beyond. That’s not to say there aren’t any attractions within walking distance – there’s the Gustave Moreau Museum and the Porte Saint-Denis, while the Centre Pompidou is also reachable on foot (with comfy shoes). After all that exploring, we have to say there’s no sofa here, but there are a couple of armchairs in the bedroom (and a double bed) to relax on. There’s also a desk for when you need to catch up on any work. Outside, there’s a shared courtyard, too, for a bit of fresh air.

Home truths:
*This home has a studio-style set-up – there's a desk and two chairs in the bedroom but no sofa.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and a microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*The courtyard is shared with the other residents.
*Given the home's fairly central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*There's a supermarket and a few eateries within walking distance.
