Antoinette's Cosy Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

Merging the added benefits of a hotel stay with the personality and style of a private home, this apartment is perfectly suited for those looking to take in central Paris. It's a clean and functional space with a modern take on mid-century design. Stepping in to look around the decor, you'll find soft velvet furniture, gold-accented touches and a vintage radio in the living room. It's effortlessly classy.

Sit down for breakfast at the marble dining table – you'll notice the stunning contemporary chandelier above your head. Natural light pours in through the large windows in just about every room, thanks to the large windows that frame a typical wrought-iron Juliet balcony. Through to the bedroom where it's a picture of dark wood and green tones that make for a cosy spot to unwind. You'll even find a dedicated desk area for client catch-ups, applying makeup or journalling your trip.

There are a few surprises here too. Head downstairs to the cool chill-out lounge, equipped with a communal pool table and fireplace – it's the ideal place to fill those couple of hours in-between afternoon and evening activities. Outside, you'll find an authentic neighbourhood with plenty of upscale Parisian flair. You're right in the thick of things here too, just a six-minute walk to the Arc de Triomphe and a sixteen-minute stroll to the beautiful Champs-Élysées boulevard – classy cafés, luxury boutiques and gourmet restaurants are all well within your reach.
