Nestled on the fifth floor, you’ll need to be fit to climb the stairs to this apartment – but we think the cityscape views from the balcony are worth it. Inside is cosy, and you’ll need to watch your head on the low ceilings on the upper floor – particularly in the bathroom, which is a bit of a squeeze. That said, this is an ideal base for a couple wanting to explore the city with ease. And while the kitchen is best for light bites, there’s a whole host of Parisian cuisine on your doorstep waiting to be enjoyed.

Home truths
Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb five flights of 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 here, but portable fans are provided for the comfort of guests.
The ceilings on the upper floor are low in some places, so this home may not be suitable for taller guests.
The bathroom in this home is very small. That said, it has everything you need to get ready for the day.

About Île de la Cité
Ile de la Cité is one of the two natural islands known as the official epicentre of Paris, where the medieval city was founded. With only 1,000 inhabitants, it's definitely exclusive! The streets are picture perfect, with paved streets and curving walls aplenty.
