Parisian Pop

Parisian Pop: Île-de-France

Set in the happening pedestrian quarters of the 2nd arrondissement, you couldn't dream up a more central location for this circa-1800s bolthole. Not that you'd know it curled up inside this stylish apartment – overlooking an inner courtyard, it's surprisingly quiet. While some of the interiors may feel a little pared-back for some, the characterful exposed stone walls and floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony doors bring plenty of charm. And we love the sense of space, with a generously proportioned king-sized bedroom – a rarity in a city where space is at a premium.

Home truths:
*Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
*You’ll check into this home with a lock box and code.
*You'll share an entrance at this apartment building, and there's no lift. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
