We wouldn't want to bamboozle you into thinking that this home is larger than it actually is. In fact, it's rather – as the French say – petite. That being said, it could well be ideal for a couple or solo traveller looking for a simple base in a good location.

Behind the front door, the recently renovated space is bright and inviting, thanks in the main to the row of tall windows lining the walls that can be opened on warmer afternoons for some Juliet balconies. There's a simplicity to the design and the lounge area especially will be a relaxing spot after returning from a day of sightseeing. To be truthful, we don't think you'll be cooking much in the very limited kitchenette, but many might not see that as a major issue given you're in the middle of one of the most culinarily celebrated cities in the world.

The home's location is the big draw, with the quintessentially Parisian neighbourhood of Montmartre easily reached on foot, as well as the buzzy bars and cafes of Pigalle to the south. And with Place de Clichy metro station three minutes' walk away, it's just as convenient to travel over to the famous attractions in the heart of the city.
