Cobbles & Walnut

Tucked into a quiet side street in the 3rd arrondissement, this Marais apartment is an ideal base in one of Paris's most loved neighbourhoods. Musée Carnavalet, Place des Vosges, and the area's sidewalk cafes and boutiques are all close at hand. The light-filled living space makes it easy to settle in after a day on foot. Best of all, there's an infrared sauna and a Jacuzzi bath here – a rare find for a Parisian apartment, and a welcome treat after hours of gallery-hopping and cobblestone wandering. Métro Rambuteau is a five-minute walk when you're ready to venture further.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* The two bedrooms have no windows of their own – a quirk of this style of renovated Parisian apartment. Blackout blinds are provided, so sleep is rarely disturbed, but it's worth knowing if natural light in the bedrooms matters to you.
* We think this apartment will be tight for all six guests. We'd recommend a guest count of four people if you'd like space to spread out.
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Metro stations are within walking distance.
