50 metres from Le Bon Marché and a short stroll from Café de Flore, this apartment puts you at the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés – one of the most walkable, culturally rich corners of Paris. Inside, the light-filled living room centres on an original fireplace, giving the space a warmth that feels distinctly Parisian rather than hotel-polished. The 6th arrondissement takes care of the rest – bookshops, bistros, and galleries are practically on the doorstep, making this a natural base whether you're here to explore or simply to slow down.

Home truths
The apartment is on the second floor of a building with no lift, so you'll be using the stairs for every arrival, departure, and grocery run.
This home is only available to those studying or travelling for work – you’ll need to provide proof from your university or employer.
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.
Though there's enough bed space for four people here, with two on the sofa bed – we think it might feel a little cramped. We'd recommend a maximum guest count of two.

About Saint Germain des Prés - Odéon
Saint-Germain-des-Prés has it all: location, buzz, romance, a bohemian past, luxury shopping, art galleries, as well as famous monuments, historic churches and of course its iconic cafes, where intellectuals like Sartre and Hemingway used to hang out back in the day.
