Sebastopol Green

Sebastopol Green: ÃŽle-de-France

Ideally located on Boulevard de Sébastopol, this apartment is in fashionable Les Halles, close to pretty much everything. Restaurants, cafes, shopping – you name it, chances are you can walk to it. Those after a culture-packed trip will also appreciate being a fifteen-minute walk away from landmarks like The Lourve and Notre Dame. It's safe to say that this is a chic area, and the home doesn't disappoint, either. Decked out in bold emerald tones with gold finishes and eye-catching tropical wallpaper, this is a home that's not short of personality. It had us feeling green with envy – we wish we could watch the world go by on the Juliet balcony every day. Kick off your shoes and make yourself at home in the living area, with its squishy sofa, velvet armchair and stylish dining table. The kitchen is the only downside – it's pretty basic, so we think it's better suited to light meals instead of French feasts. That said, this home has everything else covered – shiny bathroom, comfortable bedrooms – so we didn't mind. In fact, it gave us an excuse to try the local cuisine at the delicious eateries nearby.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room
*The kitchenette is basic and lacks an oven – we think it's only suitable to make simple meals, like breakfasts and light lunches
*If travelling with little ones, the hosts can arrange a cot or crib for €20/night
*Please be aware that for a late check-in there is a surcharge for an out-of-hours greeter – the charge is €30 if you plan to arrive after 7pm or €50 for arrivals after 11pm
*Expect some noise from your surrounding neighbours
*There are some signs of wear and tear in the bathroom
*The building entrance is shared with other residents - you may find that the communal areas are a bit worn and dated
