They say good things come in small packages, and this stylish apartment on central Île Saint-Louis is no exception. Granted, the home is compact, but it’s all perfectly formed, and the kitchenette has everything you need to rustle up morning coffees and breakfast. It’s worth noting that if four of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. But for an apartment in such a unique setting, we can forgive that. Located along a quiet street on Paris’ iconic island, coffee shops are right outside your door, and all of the city’s must-sees are within easy walking distance.

Home truths:
*A cot can be provided for little ones on request.
*If four of you share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge.
*A starter pack including bathroom essentials is provided to help you settle in.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and mini fridge. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Your host may be able to accommodate an earlier check-in time. Just request in advance.
*The bedroom is partially divided from the living area. If two guests are also sleeping on the sofa bed, it won't be overly private. It's also worth noting that the bedroom is compact and has little walking space around the bed.
*The bathroom is en-suite and accessed via the bedroom area.
