Owned by a creative family, and their home for much of the year, this delightful apartment in the Latin Quarter is stylish, fun and packed with character. Set in a typical period building, its high ceilings, wood floors and tall windows make for a classic Parisian stay – topped off with a balcony overlooking the bustling streets below. Just a short walk from Notre Dame, it's an authentic homestay that will immediately make you feel like a local. The big living space is sociable and bright, with statement lighting and wall art, leather sofas and a huge dining table. Open to the rest of the room, the chef of the group will be able to whip up home-cooked meals in the modern kitchen, thanks to the well-stocked cupboards and high-end appliances. Elsewhere in the flat, there's an office with a piano and a guitar for the musically inclined, and a desk if you have to get some work done during your stay. We love the master bedroom with its large en-suite bathroom and quirky little craft room. The apartment is opposite the Cluny Museum and just a minutes walk from the open-air market of Maubert Square (held three times a week). It takes only fifteen minutes to walk to the Louvre and there are all sorts of places to eat and drink on your doorstep.
