Velvet sofas beneath a skylight, a porthole window in the bedroom, and marble-walled shower – this apartment on Boulevard Voltaire packs real character into a compact 11th arrondissement address. The bedroom is quietly tucked away from the living area, and the kitchenette means morning coffee is sorted without leaving home. Step outside and you're moments from the buzz of Marché d'Aligre, Canal Saint-Martin's iron footbridges, and Place de la Bastille – all walkable, with Metro lines 9 and 5 nearby to connect you to the rest of the city.

Home truths
At 25 m², this is a compact apartment that works best for two guests. If three of you are staying, one will sleep on the sofa bed, so make sure everyone is comfortable with close quarters before you book.
The building has a small lift that takes you to the fifth floor, but there are a few additional steps to reach the apartment door after you exit. Worth keeping in mind if you have heavy luggage or mobility considerations.
This apartment is one of six units converted from the building's upper floor, so you'll share hallway access with neighbouring guests – worth bearing in mind if you prefer a more standalone feel.
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.
Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay for no additional charge.
