In the 1700s, this apartment was a hosiery factory crafting garments for Paris' elite. Today, it's a far cry from its socks-and-stockings past, though you can still sense the history in the stone walls and wooden beams. The pièce de résistance is the private terrace. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a drink after a day strolling through the city. Lofty ceilings and large windows flood the interior with natural light. It all feels roomy and open – those sleeping on the sofa bed shouldn't feel squeezed. Location-wise, an array of artisan bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and shops are a five-minute stroll away. You can also walk to the Louvre in twenty minutes, though a metro station is nearby, too.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
Unfortunately, this home isn't suitable for children and infants.
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay. There may also be a few locked cupboards that your host uses for storage.
As the terrace is on the first floor, noise can travel to the neighbours. Your host asks that you keep noise to a minimum after 10pm out of respect.
This apartment is on the first floor of a building without a lift. You'll need to climb stairs here.

This area feels like a village where true Parisians live, but despite that it’s walking distance to Le Marais, Centre Pompidou and Le Louvre.
