Pink Lady

Pink Lady: Île-de-France

Elegant and charming, this truly Parisian apartment is just a five-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. Whether you're looking to pay the Iron Lady a visit or not, location-wise, it's perfect. Nestled in a more residential, and consequently quieter area than the neighbouring arrondissements, and yet filled with typical bakeries, cheery cafes and gourmet restaurants that will have you feeling like a local in no time. Take a stroll through the Champ de Mars for a refreshing break from the buzz of the city, or wander around the Ecole Militaire for a cultural trip out – both are less than ten minutes from your door. Alternatively, the Musée du Quai Branly, which exhibits 3,500 works of art from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania, is a fifteen-minute saunter.

Back inside, this home packs a decorative punch with a neutral palette offset by soft pink accents, bold wallpaper prints and traditional parquet flooring. We love the pink backsplash in the kitchenette – perfectly suited for whipping up your morning croque madame or simply loading the oven with pain au chocolats. After a day exploring, eating and drinking, return to one of the cosy, beautifully decorated bedrooms for a delightful night's sleep, knowing the sights of the city of lights are just outside.

Home truths:
*This home has a private entrance

*This is a two-level flat with a bedroom located on the lower level, so it may not suit those with limited mobility

*Guests five and six would be on a sofa bed in the living room – we’d recommend this home for four guests if you want to be able to seat everyone and if you want ample space for socialising
*The kitchen is more of a kitchenette due to size – although, fully-equipped for cooking
*You will be sharing one bathroom between six people (at full occupancy)
*The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly space, and the Wifi here is high speed
