You'll be right in the swing of things with a stay at this 18th-century apartment in the heart of the 2nd Arrondissement and just a three-minute stroll from the Metro. Take your pick from the blockbuster sights – the Louvre, Palais Royal, and Notre Dame are all just a short jaunt away. Back home, each bedroom with a separate bathroom is as light-filled as the next, though the floor space might feel a little tight for some. But those charming Juliet balcony doors overlooking the smart streets of Montorgueil below more than make up for that.

Home truths:
*The en-suite bathrooms here are open concept, so you can see the showers from the bedrooms. *Your host will greet you at this home to check in. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *While the large beds make for a great night's sleep, they do feel a little big for the rooms. Space is limited, so we'd recommend travelling light. *Bathroom essentials are provided to help settle you in. *The home is set on the second floor with no lift, so be prepared to climb some stairs.
