Description Leafy Parisian Residence: Paris

Surrounded by restaurants and chic coffee shops, this apartment is an excellent place to stay, location-wise. There are several museums nearby, as well as the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg. You’ll also find a variety of stores in the neighbourhood, including Le Bon Marché. Back at this studio-style apartment, set over two levels, there’s a cosy open-plan living room with a kitchenette. It's compact, like the rest of the place, but it has everything you probably need. Upstairs, on the mezzanine, there’s a bedroom – this space has relatively low ceilings, so it might not suit taller guests. Otherwise, this is a great little pied-à-terre with a fantastic address.

Home truths:
*This compact apartment is set over two floors.
*The ceiling in the bedroom is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
*Your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
