French Whisper

Holiday Rental Description

There's certainly no shortage of space in this chic loft apartment. In fact, the open-plan living and dining area feels somewhat bare, but the exposed wooden beams add a welcome touch of character. Plus, dinners with friends or family will feel a bit more special when you're seated at the round table under the skylight – the kitchen is the perfect size for rustling up a Parisian feast. Though you're in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, you'll hardly notice the bustle of the city from up here (and that makes the five-flight climb even more worth it). It's just a short stroll over the river to the Louvre, or stay on the left bank of the Seine and explore the bustling streets of the Latin Quarter.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom's en-suite has a bath and a sink – as is common in France, the toilet is separate.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.
*Please note that this home is on the fifth floor with no lift, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility or those travelling with heavy luggage.
