Perfect for families or a large group, this apartment has all the bells and whistles needed for a city getaway. The breezy living area is brimming with character, from Juliet balconies to ornate ornamental fireplaces. There's more than enough space to rustle up a French feast in the kitchen, although you'll find restaurants and cafes nearby if you fancy dining out. Speaking of location, the 16th arrondissement is a prime spot for sightseeing. Not only can you walk to the Arc de Triomphe and Bois de Boulogne, but the metro is a quick stroll away when you need to zip across the city.

*The third double bed is on the smaller side. We think it’s best for one adult or two children sharing. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair on request. *This home is in an apartment building with a communal entrance. *Given the home's central location, noise is to be expected. *Free parking isn't provided and it can be tricky to find a space.
