Located in the heart of Paris, this apartment is an ideal base for an extended family or group of friends visiting the city. Granted, at full occupancy two people will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, which is fairly cosy, and the third bedroom is accessed via a steep, narrow staircase. Still, it’s a small price to pay for this home’s enviable location. Next to Place de l'Italie, you’ll find an array of boutiques, French eateries and markets on your doorstep. And for trips further afield, metro stations are within walking distance, so hopping across the city is a breeze.

Home truths:
*While not all bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*The third bedroom is accessed via a narrow staircase and has no door, so privacy is limited.
*There's no air conditioning here, but fans are provided in the bedrooms.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Some areas of the home lack natural light.
*Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The nearest metro station is Place d'Italie (lines 5, 6 and 7), a three-minute walk away.
