Housed in a former leather workshop, this artsy studio is the perfect base for a couple or solo traveller looking to stay in a hip, central area of Paris. Just a five-minute walk from Faubourg Saint-Denis, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We love how the frosted ceiling lets in plenty of natural light, while the exposed brickwork and factory-style windows add a cool industrial feel to the space. With access to a plant-filled courtyard, you can start mornings off in style with an alfresco coffee and croissant before setting off for a day of adventure. Thanks to your central location here, you’ve got plenty of sights within easy reach on foot, including the trendy Marais district (twenty minutes away), the iconic Louvre Museum (also twenty minutes away) and Montmartre with its flashy Moulin Rouge and Sacré-Cœur basilica (twenty-five minutes from your home). After a day of sightseeing, come back home for drinks in the courtyard before discovering the many bistros, bars and restaurants on your front step. When it’s time for bed, your comfortable bed and quiet courtyard locale will ensure you get a dreamy night’s sleep.

Home truths:
*At maximum capacity, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room – sensitive sleepers should be aware that the glass ceiling here doesn't have a shade, so an eye mask might be necessary
*Culinary connoisseurs take not – this home isn't equipped with an oven
*The washing machine is communal here and located outside the apartment
*As this is a studio apartment, there's no real separation between the living and sleeping areas except for a curtain that can be drawn for privacy
*The air conditioning in this home is portable and not integrated
*It's worth noting that the pillows here aren't particularly plush, so not everyone might find them comfortable – the bed is also a bit soft
