Located in Paris's prestigious 9th arrondissement, this apartment is surrounded by cafes, shops and restaurants, as well as various theatres and museums. You’ll also be within walking distance of the Palais Garnier and the Louvre Museum. The address is great, and so is the apartment – a large glass roof bathes the main living space with natural light. There’s a glass floor, too, which illuminates the lower level of this home. Also, a couple of the bedrooms have no windows but borrow light from the communal areas. The main bedroom, which overlooks the shared courtyard, is a real feature with its en-suite and a freestanding bathtub. This apartment is perfect for those seeking a stylish base in the city.
