Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just steps from the Seine, this elegant apartment places you in one of Paris's most charming neighbourhoods – a five-minute wander from the lively bistros and bars of Bastille and ten minutes from the scenic streets of Île Saint-Louis. Despite its central location, the apartment has a peaceful, secluded feel, set within a quiet courtyard. The space itself is bright and homely – there's no air conditioning, but the windows keep things breezy in the warmer months. The kitchen is on the smaller side, better suited to prepping light bites than big feasts, but with so many restaurants on your doorstep, you may find you're dining out more than in.
