Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Pocket-sized it may be, this apartment is the epitome of Parisian living. It places you in one of the city's most emblematic neighbourhoods, Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Sidewalk cafes, independent boutiques and antique shops characterise this area. But, even without leaving home, you can bask in the charm of it all. The French doors lead straight onto a cobblestone street, while inside, the layout is compact but cosy. We love the little details, from the record player to the well-equipped (albeit small) kitchen. There's also a sofa bed in the lounge if you're travelling in a larger group, but we think this pad is best for two.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. If you'd like ample space for socialising, we'd suggest a maximum guest count of two.
The doors in both the bedroom and living area lead out onto a cobblestone street. While charming, there's a chance you might see a neighbour or two through the window, so it doesn't feel completely private.
The kitchen is compact but has everything you'll need to whip up something small to nibble on.
While we love this home's overall design, it lacks natural light. There also isn't a window in the bathroom, meaning there's no natural ventilation.
Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.
