Close to South Pigalle and only five minutes' walk from the iconic Moulin Rouge, this home is an ideal base for exploring Paris' historically alternative sights. The uncluttered aesthetic will suit a lot of guests, with the pared-down furnishings and Scandi simplicity throughout giving this apartment a relaxed feel. The long dining table next to the large windows adds a touch of occasion to mealtimes — even if it's just pastries and coffee — while the white kitchen is bigger than expected in case you do fancy going all-out with the cooking. Although, with the number of fabulous cafes, restaurants and bars surrounding the address, we don't blame you if it remains largely unused during your stay.

Home truths:
* Two guests can use the sofa-bed in the living room to bring the capacity up to four, but we think the home is better suited for two
* This home is on the second floor with no lift access, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*The closest parking spaces are on Rue Mansart, two minutes' walk away
*You will hear some noise from your surrounding neighbours
