Home truths

    Parking may be tricky in central Paris, but you'll be close to public transport for getting around

    The terrace is shared with a neighbour

    We think the kitchen here is better suited to light bites rather than full meals – you'll have all basic appliances but not much counter space for food preparation

    This home is in a central spot, so you may hear some noise from the streets and from neighbours

    We recommend packing light here, as this home has limited space

    The bed here is a murphy bed in the living area

    Bed linens and towels are included here and changed every ten days

    Groups of guests aged eighteen and under aren't permitted here
