The Two Stars

Holiday Rental Description

Nestled in the historic Latin Quarter, this home is excellently located for exploring. Walk five minutes in one direction and you'll reach the spires of Notre Dame, while nine minutes the opposite way lies the leafy Luxembourg Gardens. Charming bookstores, local eateries and cosy cafes abound in this neighbourhood, so if living like a true Parisian is what you're after, you can't go wrong with this postcode. Inside, it's minimally decorated with Scandinavian-inspired pieces – think clean, uncluttered living spaces and classic, contemporary design. We adored the large windows and their quintessential Juliet balconies – although there's nowhere to sit on them, you can still throw open the French doors and watch the city pass by on the streets below. The kitchen is a little tiny – we think it's better suited towards light meals and smaller bites – and there's only one bathroom, but otherwise, this fantastically-placed pad is a great option for small groups or families wanting a typical Paris getaway.

Home truths:
*One guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area *The only bathroom in this home has a dual entrance – it can be accessed via the bedroom or from the hallway *A cot can be provided on request *It can get a little noisy with the windows open *The dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace *Please note that there's no oven in the kitchen *This home has no private entrance and no parking – that said, we don't think a car is needed with Cluny - La Sorbonne station a two-minute walk away
