Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
It may be compact in size, but this apartment is situated near the Eiffel Tower and the Seine, making it an ideal base for a couple on a romantic getaway in the City of Light. Equipped with ultra-fast wi-fi, the pad is a good choice for those working during their trip – although you'd have to use the kitchen island or the small dining table as a desk. And even though it's small, the kitchen has everything you need to whip up breakfast before sightseeing – come dinnertime, we suggest trying one of the classic French eateries nearby.
