Exceptionally located on the Île de la Cité, this apartment puts Notre Dame at your fingertips. Cafes and eateries abound in the Latin Quarter (ideal as the kitchen here is a little small), or you can stroll along the river towards the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and other landmarks if sightseeing tickles your fancy. Though the design is simple, the lounge is filled with light – and the views of the tree-lined Seine are a real highlight. It's the perfect base for couples keen to be in Paris' beating heart.

Home truths:
*This home is set on the second floor of a building without a lift.
*The kitchen has a small hob and a microwave but no dining area. We think it’s better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. You’ll find plenty of eateries within walking distance.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot upon request.
*As is common in France, the WC is separate from the main bathroom. It's not photographed, but we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Allocated parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in this location. A metro station is a short walk away, and you can easily explore on foot.
