Bright and cosy, this studio apartment is ideal for solo travellers. We love the bold pop of green and the artsy wallpaper. There's also a compact kitchen, though we think it's best for rustling up lighter bites. A few homely touches are lacking here, but it works well for quick trips and business travellers. Besides, you'll probably spend the majority of your time in Paris out and about. Bastille is home to restaurants aplenty, and the nearby metro makes exploring further afield a breeze.
