You certainly won't forget where you are when you stay at this characterful apartment. It has a traditional Parisian feel, with elegant oil paintings, floral wallpaper and ornately designed soft furnishings, all to create a sense of timeless elegance. Some parts may feel a little old-fashioned, but we think every detail adds beautifully to its old-world charm. It's located in the Latin Quarter of the city, a buzzing area of Paris that features lots of classy restaurants and fancy bars to visit, with the Panthéon and the Sainte-Chapelle within walking distance.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. We think it might feel a little cramped with four guests, so we'd recommend a maximum guest count of two.

Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated.
