This studio apartment might be compact, but it more than makes up for it in terms of location. It's set within one of Paris' iconic covered arcades, up a steep staircase and a short stroll from the Louvre, Opéra Garnier and the Jardin des Tuileries. Up a steep staircase, you’ll find the front door, opening into a clever layout that incorporates a smart little kitchen that's ideal for whipping up simple meals – but let’s be honest, with so many chic restaurants, bars, and patisseries on your doorstep, there’s unlikely to be much cooking going on.

Home truths

  • This is a small home, best suited for a solo traveler or couple, but we think the location makes up for this.

  • You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

  • As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.

  • The apartment is located on the second floor, without a lift and via a somewhat steep staircase.

  • Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The nearest Metro station is a five-minute walk away and you're within strolling distance of many of the city's top attractions.

About Louvre - Palais Royal

Where to begin with one of Paris's most majestic and central districts? This was the stomping ground of historic kings, and now its grand palaces and squares are home to museums, galleries, government offices, and luxury shopping. With no fewer than three Royal palaces, the attractions are plentiful in this neck of the woods. If checking out the Mona Lisa with throngs of tourists isn't your thing, we recommend exploring some of the area's quieter hidden gems. Colonnes de Burennes has a gorgeous secret square and Alain Ducasse's world-famous French restaurant 'Le Meurice' is just around the corner.
