Climb the stairs to this second-floor apartment and you’ll find a cosy couple’s retreat. It may be missing an oven and some air conditioning, but with its enviable location, you’re never far from a cafe or restaurant serving up fine French cuisine, along with parks to stroll in to enjoy some fresh air. As you’d expect from a studio, space is limited, but you’ll find all the essentials for a comfortable stay here. And with easily accessible public transport on your doorstep, if you’re not driving, hopping across Paris is a breeze.

Home truths:
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home. *You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals. *There's no air conditioning available here. It could get a little hot during the summer. *While there are no in-unit laundry facilities at this home, there's a launderette across the street.
