Golden Triangle Reverie

Original timber beams frame the top-floor bedroom, and a skylighted reading nook in the attic gives this Paris apartment a character that most city rentals simply don't have. The living space, with its exposed timber framing, feels warm and rooted – a base rather than just somewhere to drop your bags. Step outside and you're two minutes from Georges V metro station, with the Champs-Élysées a five-minute walk away when you want to wander along the city's most famous boulevard.

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.
* The lift only goes as far as the fourth floor, so you'll need to climb one flight of stairs to reach the apartment on the fifth floor.
* If you're travelling with a little one, your host can provide a cot – just request it in advance.
* As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* Georges V station on line 1 is a two-minute walk, and Charles de Gaulle–Étoile – serving lines 1, 2, 6, and RER A – is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get around Paris without a car.
* Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay for no additional charge.
