Tucked away and romantic, this stylish studio home is in a great spot on the Left Bank, among the museums and boutiques, and within a thirty-minute walk of all the city's top attractions. Passing through the 18th Century building's blue gates and through its inner courtyard, you quickly feel a world away from the bustling city. On the top floor, with views across the rooftops, your home is private, quiet and super cute. There's no getting away from the fact it's on the smaller side, but it's a perfect base for a couple or a solo traveller here to experience authentic Parisian life. Recently renovated, it's been cleverly designed the made the best of the space – with a rather neat solution for the bathroom (mirrored cupboards housing a shower and a toilet on either side of the open sink). And it's styled in a way befitting such an elegant building, with a classic colour palette made up of mostly white, black and grey. There's storage space, a small dining table just for two and a perfectly practical kitchenette, and we think it's everything you could need.
