Sanctuary of Bells

Sanctuary of Bells: Île-de-France

One of Paris' most famous landmarks is your neighbour at this central apartment. Notre Dame is only a short walk away, but next door is the Church of Saint-Séverin. It may not be as iconic as its neighbour but it’s just as beautiful – and you'll be treated to panoramas of the gothic architecture from the living room windows. View aside, we love the space on offer here, even if the second bedroom is a tad snug and two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. The contemporary finishes are a nice touch, too. There's a soaker bath, a sleek kitchen, and even air conditioning – no wonder it caught our eye.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*This apartment is on the second floor of a building without an elevator. You'll need to climb stairs.
*The second bedroom is a tad compact but has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
*This home doesn't have a lot of natural light – especially in the bedrooms – but the views make up for it.
*Parking isn’t provided, but you won’t need a car in this central location.
