Cosy and authentic through and through with (very) low ceilings and exposed beams, this one-bedroom apartment is a real haven for those looking to stay in Paris for a little longer than a short stay. In contrast with the more rustic charm of the living space, the kitchen and bathroom have been recently renovated and boast modern appliances and a rainfall shower respectively. For those who enjoy exploring, the Marais' eclectic boutiques, restaurants and cafés are just on your doorstep.
