Free To Be

Free To Be: Île-de-France

What this apartment lacks in size, it makes up for in Parisian chic style. The living space is open-plan, so you'll be able to unwind on the sofa or rustle up dinner without missing a beat in the conversation. Your host also provides daily housekeeping and complimentary Aesop toiletries, with the option to organise private drivers for an additional fee. Located on Rue Réaumur (which you can see from the window), you'll be in the trendy Les Marais neighbourhood. Not only are restaurants, local shops, and art galleries on your doorstep, but the nearby metro makes exploring the rest of the city a breeze.

Home truths:
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair upon request. *There isn't a desk, but the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you plan to work from home. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear noise throughout your stay. *There may not be a washing machine here, but there are launderettes in the area. *Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in Paris.

Your host also provides Aesop toiletries, yoga mats and still and sparkling water.
