Nestled between Grands Boulevards and Le Marais, this stylish apartment is in a perfect locale for exploring. It's set over the ground and lower-ground floor, the latter of which serves as a second bedroom or den with a comfy sofa bed. We love the exposed stonework and industrial-inspired glass partitions, which separate the bedroom from the living area. The bookshelf wallpaper makes you feel like you're relaxing in a private library, while the kitchen, albeit small, has everything you need to whip up a light bite. Location-wise, you're close to excellent brassieres, boutiques and cafes, plus within walking distance of many of the must-see landmarks. Behold Foucault's pendulum at the Musée des Arts et Métiers (a two-minute walk away), visit the Mona Lisa at the Louvre (twenty minutes on foot) or admire the spires and listen to the bells chime at Notre Dame (reachable in twenty-five minutes). And with multiple metro stations just a quick stroll away, getting to the harder-to-reach areas of Paris is easily done, making this is an ideal spot for a jaunt around the French capital.
