Ideally situated in the charming Marais district by the Place de la République, this enormous loft-style apartment provides a comfortable base from which to explore one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. People-watch at the Place de Vosges, a twenty-minute walk away, before devouring Middle Eastern food along the Rue des Rosiers. Visit an exhibition at the Pompidou Centre, just a seventeen-minute stroll from your doorstep or jump on the metro and gaze across Paris from the Sacré-Cœur. Back at home, the open-plan living space is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day sightseeing. Sit back and relax on the comfy couches or perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine and platter of nibbles. It has all you need for a fuss-free, cosy stay.
