A Piece of Paris

A Piece of Paris: Île-de-France

This Parisian pad is within walking distance of many of the capital’s must-sees, including the Louvre, the Royal Palace, and the River Seine. Located in a well-heeled neighbourhood, you’ll have luxury shops nearby, and for culture vultures, the Pompidou Centre is a ten-minute stroll. While the home itself is small, it’s got lots of character – we love the exposed wooden beams and decorative stair rails – and the compact kitchen gives you the perfect excuse to sample some of the many restaurants in the area. Although the full occupancy here is four (with two guests sleeping on the sofa bed), we think this place is best suited to a couple or solo traveller.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the fourth floor. There are also stairs to climb inside the home.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is an induction hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*The bedroom is quite small with limited storage space.
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. Space is limited here and while this home can technically sleep four guests, we think it's best suited to two.
*Guests can use the phone in the home which allows free calls to landlines worldwide.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
