Situated on the historic Île de la Cité, you'll be just steps from the Pont-Neuf bridge and riverbanks of the Seine. Guests will want to get a taste of Paris and sample the nearby restaurants, especially since there's only a kitchenette here for grab-and-go breakfasts. While we love the beamed ceilings and lamplit interior, this apartment lacks natural light and air conditioning for the summer months. That said, this home offers a central base to sightseers who are eager to experience the French capital.

Home truths
This home has no air conditioning, but there's heating for the cooler months.
You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and a microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
While we love the overall design of this home, it is lacking in natural light.

Local guide
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.
