In the streets between the Gare du Nord and Le Marais (Paris’ artsiest neighbourhood), this apartment is ideal if you’re arriving by train to the City of Lights. There are loads of neighbourhood bistros and charming bars in the area and a series of nearby metro stations can whisk you around the rest of the city. Facing an internal courtyard, the apartment is sunny and quiet. The bedrooms are a little on the small side, and it’s a squeeze with two on the sofa bed, but the full kitchen has you covered for self-catering and the location is fab.

Home truths
At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living room. With two small bedrooms, it does feel quite cramped for six.
One of the bedrooms has a glass partition between it and the living room, so doesn't feel like the most private space.
Your host welcomes well-behaved pets in this apartment.
There is no private parking with this home, but paid public parking is available nearby.
This is a well-loved home, and the furniture is getting a little dated. Expect to see some signs of general wear and tear here.
