With bakeries on your doorstep, landmarks within walking distance, and art galleries a short stroll away, we can't think of a better base to explore Paris than Le Marais. This is one of the city's trendiest neighbourhoods, and you'll find this chic apartment smack-dab in the centre of the action. Large windows and pastel colours create a relaxing atmosphere in the living room. Though two guests will sleep on a sofa bed here, you'll have plenty of space to stretch out. The two bedrooms are also very comfortable – even if they are a little compact – and all the essentials are included. No wonder it caught our eye.
Home truths: *At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*As is common in France, one of the toilets here is separate from the bathroom.
*This apartment is on the first floor of a building without a lift.
*There isn't a desk here, but the dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*Though parking isn't provided, you won't need a car in Paris. There are multiple metro stations within walking distance.
