Tucked away in a pretty courtyard, this hidden gem is a great base for those wanting to explore Paris with ease. Located in the prestigious Montorgueil district, you're a short walk from many of the city's most popular sights, including the Louvre Museum and Le Centre Pompidou. The bedroom is on the mezzanine, so keep in mind you’ll need to climb some stairs here. However, the space is bright and practical, with plenty of room for your group to sprawl out after a busy day. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it's ideal for preparing light bites to be enjoyed around the sociable breakfast bar with a glass of French wine.

Home truths:
*The entrance to this apartment is through a shared courtyard. *The bedroom is located on the mezzanine, so you'll need to be comfortable with the steep steps here. *The ceiling in the mezzanine bedroom is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests. *Some guests found that the curtains didn't offer much privacy. *We think the kitchen is best suited for preparing light bites rather than large meals. That said, you'll find some of the area's best restaurants nearby. *If you're travelling on business, you won't find a desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
