Located in the Borderouge neighbourhood just outside Toulouse’s centre, this stylish apartment offers a comfortable base from which to explore the city away from the tourist crowds. Inside, tiled floors, an open-plan living area and cool, contemporary decor set an instantly inviting scene. Slide open the glass doors here to step out onto a private balcony – this is the perfect spot to indulge in some fresh coffee and croissants first thing each morning or a glass of French wine in the evenings as the sun sets over the surrounding rooftops. Back inside, the dining table beckons celebratory meals when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, while the sofa invites relaxed lounging after a busy day of sightseeing. With a beautifully dressed bedroom that also has a desk space should you need to catch up on work, you’re all set whether you’re here for business or pleasure. When it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got a plethora of bakeries and restaurants, as well as a cinema within 50 metres of your home, while a quick drive or a trip by Metro – the nearest stop is 10 metres away – will take you into Toulouse’s buzzing centre.
