Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re after a more local take on Paris, this spot works well. You’re near Butte-aux-Cailles, one of those neighbourhoods that still feels like a village, with small bars, independent cafés, and a slower pace than central Paris. It’s a good base for dipping into the main sights too, with the metro a short walk away. The apartment itself is compact but cosy, with a sofa bed in the living area if needed. It’s not about standout design, but it covers the essentials and puts you in a part of Paris that feels more lived-in than touristy.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
There's a small kitchen here. We think it's better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The only bathroom here is an en-suite off the main bedroom – at full occupancy, privacy may be limited.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The metro station is a five-minute walk.
Once your booking is confirmed, your host will send you a link to pay a security deposit.

Local guide
About La Butte aux Cailles
With its winding cobble streets, vintage street lights and timber-framed homes, la Butte aux Cailles has a thoroughly village atmosphere to it. The ideal way to discover this quaint area is to take a stroll in the early hours of the afternoon jumping from square to square, where you'll find locals playing pétanque or sipping coffee on the rue de la Butte aux Cailles. The neighbourhood hasn't always been part...
