This stylish apartment in Paris’ 17th arrondissement puts you in a wonderful position from which to explore the city. With interiors inspired by serene grasslands, it’s both a practical and comfortable base whether you’re visiting the city for business or pleasure. Though there isn’t a dedicated desk, the window-side dining table doubles as a scenic spot to catch up on emails. And what better way to end any day of work or play than perched on the small balcony with a glass of rosé?

Home truths

    This home is only available to those studying or travelling for work – you’ll need to provide proof from your university or employer.

    Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos.

    Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise.

    You won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.

    As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the main bathroom. Toiletries aren't provided.

    We recommend skipping the car here and exploring Paris on foot or by public transport instead. The closest metro stations are Villiers and Rome.

    This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.

Local guide


About Monceau - Ternes

This is the residential part of the affluent 8th arrondissement, tucked just behind the Champs Elysée but without the tourists. Your neighbours will mainly be wealthy families but you will also come across quite a few workers going to the office too. It's a safe part of town, well positioned for exploring more vibrant neighbourhoods like Batignolles, Pigalle, or even Grands Boulevards. You'll find lots of high-end shops around Madeleine...
