Morning in Montorgueil

Tucked into the lively pedestrian streets of Montorgueil, this apartment puts you at the centre of one of Paris's most characterful districts – cafes, bars, and independent shops all on the doorstep. The Musée du Louvre is a ten-minute walk away, Le Marais a nine-minute walk, and Metro Les Halles is reachable on foot in around five-minutes, making the rest of the city straightforward to explore. Back at the apartment, the design-led bedroom and underfloor heating make it easy to settle in, and a dedicated desk means it works just as well for a working trip as a city break.

Home truths:
* The apartment sits on the second floor of a building with no lift, and the staircase is steep and narrow. If you're travelling with heavy luggage, it's worth packing light or being prepared for the climb.
* The apartment receives very little natural light and has no view to speak of – something worth bearing in mind if light is important to you during your stay.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
* While there's no air conditioning here, your host can provide fans for the warmer months.
