This stylish Parisian apartment wouldn’t be out of place in Brooklyn with its exposed brick walls, cool contemporary furnishings and artsy bedrooms. Located in the city’s historic Bastille neighbourhood, you’re in an ideal position to soak up the best of Paris’ art, culture and gastronomy while also enjoying an endlessly comfortable stay. Relax and unwind in the open-plan living area where a cosy sofa invites you to kick back with a glass of French wine after a day of sightseeing and a long dining table beckons celebratory homemade feats. The three bedrooms are calm and quiet with two of them facing a courtyard. We’re particularly fond of the colourful second bedroom with its graffiti mural and large windows letting plenty of sunlight in, as well as the parquet floors that feature throughout. Factor in the sleek bathrooms with their rainfall showers and you’ve got everything you need for a chic, carefree stay. Outside of your home, Place de la Bastille is a seven-minute walk away, the vibrant Marais district is a twenty-minute stroll and the Canal Saint-Martin is ten minutes away on foot.
