Set in the 5th arrondissement, this ground-floor apartment puts you in one of Paris’s most historic and lively neighbourhoods. You’ll be within easy walking distance of the Jardin des Plantes for sunny strolls, and the Panthéon for a Paris history lesson. Plus, with cafes, bars, and restaurants aplenty there are so many options when it comes to refuelling. The apartment itself is simple and comfortable, with a living room that doubles as a sleeping space thanks to the sofa bed. When it’s in use, things might feel a little snug, but you can always descent to the basement, where you can relax or play a game of foosball.
