Some city rentals offer excellent locations, special perks or grand interiors that draw you in, but very rarely do we find an apartment that delivers on quite so many fronts as this home in Paris' charming Odéon neighbourhood. Surrounded by tranquil garden expanses, sitting halfway between the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower, you really couldn't be better placed for taking in the iconic sights. While inside, an abundance of natural light pours into the elegant living space, where antique furnishings meet a modern artsy edge. There's an air of refinement in the living room, with ornate armchairs, a gold-accented mirror, intricate marble fireplace and wooden shelved walls. These shelves are packed with literature and quirky objects, so pick your favourite from the collection and perch in the calming lounge. You'll notice the marble flooring, white pillars and elegant chandeliers leading to the dining room and sleek island kitchen – plating up breakfast here will be a delight. Elsewhere, you'll find abstract artwork, curated plants and colourful rugs that keep the place modern and refreshing. Outside, take the sixteen-minute walk to the Louvre Museum, before spending an afternoon exploring the upscale shops and high-end restaurants of the Champs-Élysées – only a twenty-five-minute stroll from your door. After a day spent sightseeing, shopping and gloriously lunching, return back home for an aperitif on your private balcony, overlooking distant views of the Iron Lady.
