Sitting in the heart of the 2nd arrondissement, this apartment puts you squarely among some of Paris's most rewarding streets. Porte Saint-Denis – a grand 17th-century triumphal arch – is a two-minute walk, and lines 3, 4, 8, and 9 are all within a four-minute walk, making the rest of the city easy to reach. The Centre Pompidou is fourteen-minutes on foot, and the Palais-Royal Gardens are well within range for a morning wander. Back inside, the living room is comfortable and calm – a good place to decompress after a long day on the boulevards.

Home truths
The apartment is on the ground floor and faces the interior of the building, so natural light will be limited and you won't have a street view.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
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.

About Paris
Standing proud as the most visited city in Europe – they don't call Paris the city of lights for nothing. As a city that sparkles even on the gloomiest of days, beauty can be found in the most unlikely of places, whether that's simply by admiring how the light hits the whitewashed Haussmanian architecture or when taking the first bite of a freshly baked croissant at the "boulangerie". Paris truly...
