Within walking distance of La Madeleine (a majestic church), the Palais Garnier opera house, and the Galeries Lafayette (for extra-special souvenir shopping), this apartment is in a fabulous spot. The 8th arrondissement is also home to the Champs Elysées, so some of the best bits of Paris are right on your doorstep. Inside the apartment, you’ll find a living area with kitchen and dining space (handy for fuss-free meals at home), plus a sofa bed that can sleep two guests. Just look out for the low beams – we think they add character, but taller guests may need to mind their heads.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*The ceiling in this apartment is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
*As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.
*The apartment is on the first floor with a lift for access.
