A Saintly View

A Saintly View: Île-de-France

Spanning two floors, this apartment makes the most of its split-level layout. The balcony offers a spectacular view of Saint-Augustin and the Parisian streets – perfect for enjoying a tipple in the sunshine. You'll also find a pair of cosy bedrooms upstairs, although both have sloped ceilings, so taller guests need to mind their heads. The sprawling living area offers plenty of space for unwinding, while the kitchen stocked with culinary gear will impress home cooks. Location-wise, the 8th arrondissement puts some of Paris' swankiest spots at your fingertips. Whether you fancy shopping on the Champs-Élysées or a night at the opera, this is an ideal area for first-time tourists and seasoned visitors alike.

Home truths:
*This is a split-level apartment. While there’s a lift in the building, it only reaches the apartment's door. You’ll need to be able to climb stairs to reach this home’s bedrooms. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair on request. *Given the home's central location, noise is to be expected. *Free parking isn't provided and it can be tricky to find a space. That said, a car isn't necessary in Paris. Instead of driving, explore on foot or take advantage of the city's public transport. *Bed linen and towels will be changed every three days. *Unfortunately, this home does not accept groups of young people.
