Description The Marais Moment: Paris

At this laid-back apartment, you'll be greeted by a plant-filled communal courtyard on arrival – a quietly Parisian moment before you even step inside. The place itself is bright and calm, with the rear courtyard position keeping the bedroom hushed despite the address sitting right in the heart of Le Marais. Speaking of location, Place des Vosges is a five-minute walk, the Musée Picasso even closer, and the neighbourhood's cafes and boutiques are all practically on your doorstep.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. That said, this is compact space that's best for two guests.
* You'll need to climb two flights via a narrow staircase to reach the apartment.
* You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
