Chenier IV

Down a quiet street near Strasbourg Saint-Denis, you'll find this lovely pied-à-terre with all the usual mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay in the city of love. Cosy and effortlessly chic, the decor is tasteful and oh-so Parisian with the plush lavender velvet sofa, quirky adornments and minimalist design. The bedroom is incredibly inviting with its sumptuous bedding, warm bedside lighting as well as plenty of storage space to unpack in. Perch against the wrought-iron railings on your Juliet balcony and watch how the world goes by in a trendy neighbourhood with a lively locale. Stroll through Sentier for century-old buildings neighbouring hip boutiques and hidden bars – there's a blend of the past and present here that we really love. Of course, you're next to plenty of the big sites too, including the Louvre that's a quick twenty-minute stroll from your door. All in all, it's a great choice for the discerning couple who prefer not to stay in a hotel and are seeking something a little more authentic.

Home truths:
*At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, although we think the space is best for a couple
*The dining table only seats a maximum of three people
*This apartment is housed in a building with no lift access, so you will have to climb a total of twenty-five stairs which may be difficult for those with limited mobility
