Located in the heart of Paris, this little studio apartment delivers a great base for an exciting city stay. You will need to climb five flights of stairs to get here, but once inside you’ll find a cosy space well-suited to couples and solo travellers. It’s worth noting, there is no living room here, but you will have a dining area with classic Parisian views. There is also a small kitchen with everything you could need to prepare drinks and light bites. Outside, take your pick from a range of local restaurants, cafes and bars. You'll also find it's just 1 kilometre to Montorgueil, while the Louvre is 2 kilometres away.
