Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you're looking for an authentic Parisian stay, this is just the place. Artisan bakeries are on your doorstep, the vibrant Latin Quarter is a five-minute stroll away, and Notre Dame is right around the corner. Undoubtedly, the location is postcard-perfect, but the actual home is equally charming. It has a private (if slightly overlooked) garden, perfect for sharing wine and brie alfresco and at 25 square meters, this is a rare and substantial treat in this area. Sleeping arrangements are super flexible here, too – the bedrooms can be arranged with either king or twin beds, and the trundle in the lounge fits one adult or two children. Those longing for a bit of character also will adore the quintessentially French details, including a vaulted brick ceiling and tomette tiled floors.

Home truths
The bedrooms can be arranged with a king-sized bed or two twins – let your host know which you'd prefer. A comfortable day bed in the living room has a pull-out trundle that accommodates either a fifth adult guest or two small children.
One of the en-suite bedrooms is located upstairs, though the other is on the ground floor.
The garden is overlooked by the surrounding homes. Your host asks that you keep noise to a minimum while using the outdoor area, as sound travels throughout the interior courtyard. Smoking is also not allowed here, though a public bench is a short walk away for smoke breaks.
Only moments away from a thrice-weekly open-air market at Place Maubert - please ask your host for details.

About Île de la Cité
Ile de la Cité is one of the two natural islands known as the official epicentre of Paris, where the medieval city was founded. With only 1,000 inhabitants, it's definitely exclusive! The streets are picture perfect, with paved streets and curving walls aplenty. With these film-star looks, you’ll inevitably see a fair amount of tourists during the daytime, though you'll also see plenty of Parisians too: simply crossing the Seine,...
