Curious Interlude

Curious Interlude: Île-de-France

Filled with objets d'art and antique furniture, this Parisian apartment is truly something special. The fully-equipped kitchen makes mealtimes easy, two sumptuous bedrooms offer respite from the hustle and bustle (although one consists of a sofa bed), and you won't be short on space to kick back and relax. After a day of sightseeing, we think the en-suite soaker bath is the perfect way to wind down. Speaking of exploring, you'll find the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe just a short walk away – meaning the best of Paris is on your doorstep here.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom has a convertible sofa bed, sleeping two guests. There's a door, so it doesn't lack privacy. *While there isn't air conditioning here, the living room and both bedrooms have ceiling fans. *Both en-suite bathrooms are open onto the bedrooms and don't have toilets. Instead, a separate toilet is located in the hall. These aren't photographed but expect the quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *Upon arrival, you'll find a welcome basket filled with local products like wine, olive oil and sweets. *The vintage furniture and antique trinkets may not be to everyone's tastes. *This is a central spot, so noise is to be expected.
