This one bedroom apartment is located away from the centre of Paris in the 17th arrondissement, perfect if you’ve ticked the tourist hotspots off your list and want to immerse into a real local’s neighbourhood. Just off a main street, the apartment overlooks a beautiful plant and flower-filled courtyard. It is light and bright, and has a quirky mixture of vintage furniture (like the Louis XVI armchairs in the living room), modern design (like the well-equipped kitchen) and hand-made artefacts (like the furniture robot created by your hosts brother!).

Home truths:
*There is no air conditioning in this apartment, and fans are not provided
*The apartment is on the second floor of the building and there is no elevator, so you will need to take the stairs
*There is a bath in the bathroom, but it is small in size
*The apartment is located in the 17th arrondissement which is more of a locals neighbourhood, rather than being in the centre of the tourist attractions.
