Looking for a central base for a short Parisian stay? This sixth arrondissement apartment delivers. You’re set just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens and café scene of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and Vavin Metro is just three minutes from your door, making it easy to zip across the city. And don’t be put off by its compact studio set-up. Despite the size, it’s been thoughtfully designed with all the modern-day comforts. Think handy kitchenette to rustle up morning coffees and a neat bistro table for pre-dinner drinks. And most important of all, a king-sized bed to bank a good night’s kip.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the bistro table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Although the kitchen is well-equipped, the prepping space is limited. We think the kitchen is better suited to lighter bites than large meals.
Bathroom essentials are provided to help you settle in.
Once your booking is confirmed, your host will send you a link to pay a security deposit.

Local guide
About Montparnasse & Catacombs
This part of town is mostly residential but works well as a base for exploring the charms of the nearby 6th and the 7th arrondissements. It was famously home to a community of prominent twentieth-century artists and intellectuals - Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso to name a few. Parc Montsouris is one of the city's most colourful public spaces and well worth seeking out. Be sure to check out the Roman Catacombs too if you're of the morbid disposition - stacks of skulls and bones await you!
