Somewhere between a studio and a hotel suite, this bright and methodical apartment in the 3rd arrondissement makes a good central base for couples and solo travellers. Situated in Le Marais, you'll be at the heart of one of Paris' most bustling neighbourhoods, and a few minutes on foot from landmarks like the Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, and the Picasso Museum. While fitting a bed, open kitchen and shower room into twenty five square metres can affect the amount of free space, we feel this kitted out apartment sets you up for a memorable stay in the French capital.

Home truths:
*This home is located on the second floor, close to a brasserie. As such, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*The apartment block does have a lift, but you will still need to climb stairs to enter this home.
*This home is on the smaller side. We think it would make an excellent base for exploring Paris, rather than somewhere to spend long days in.
