If you're on the hunt for a Parisian apartment near enough to the city sights but far enough away from the tourist traps, this may fit the bill. Located in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, this third-floor walk-up offers oodles of space for friends or families. Hop on the Metro and you'll be on the sightseers’ trail in no time, or take the train to Disneyland in just 1 hour. If you're after a more laid-back slice of city life, there are plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars in this neighbourhood, too. All in all, it measures up nicely for a city stay when travelling in numbers.
