Right in the heart of the left bank, Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a hedonist's dream with plenty of bars and restaurants, as well as designer stores and quaint cafes. A couple or lone traveller looking for a lively neighbourhood in a central spot could make the most out of the nightlife here and might even make it to the nearby sights. A small one-bedroom apartment on the 3rd floor with no lift, so be prepared for a free workout. Once inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, plenty of bedroom storage and a projector for Netflix binging.

Home truths:
* This is a one bedroom apartment so the 3rd and 4th guests will be in the sofa-bed in the living space - it goes without saying that at full capacity the apartment will be crowded

* It's on a 3rd floor with no lift access so pack light and be ready to climb a few flights of stairs

* You are in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, surrounded by plenty of restaurants and bars - despite the double glazing there will be some noise at night, especially over the weekend
