This Parisian pad is located in the vibrant 9th arrondissement. You’ll find cafes, bakeries, and boutiques on the doorstep, while the famous landmarks of Sacré-Cœur and Opera Garnier are a fifteen-minute walk away. After a busy day sightseeing, you can head home, uncork a bottle of Sancerre, and relax on the sofa with a book from your host’s collection. We think this apartment is ideal for a couple or solo traveller wanting a home-away-from-home with easy access to the capital’s must-sees.

Home truths
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.

Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

About South Pigalle
South Pigalle, previously a rather seedy corner of Paris (home to the Moulin Rouge), has picked up a new nickname, 'SoPi', and gone all trendy. Most tourists alighting at the Pigalle metro station tend to walk up towards Montmartre and the Sacré-Coeur, but hipster Parisians – the self-styled BoBo (bourgeois bohemians) – head in the opposite direction, to South Pigalle.
