The Muse

Built around a central courtyard, this one-bedroom apartment in Paris' Latin Quarter is at the heart of the capital's cultural district. There's almost a loft vibe to this home with its spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine double bedroom, and there's lots of natural light coming into the main communal area. You're only a short walk away from the banks of the Seine as well as Notre Dame on the Île de la Cité.



Home truths:
*The interior in this home is minimal, so don't expect to find artwork on the wall or decorative items
*This home is located on the first floor with no lift access
*A third guest can sleep on a double sofa bed in the living room on the entrance level although we think this home is more suited to a couple
*This home is built over two floors with a narrow spiral staircase to reach the mezzanine bedroom above
*The kitchen lacks basic cleaning supplies, so you might want to bring your own
*The kitchen is minimally equipped for cooking, we recommend this for lighter bites and be prepared to buy your own cooking essentials if needed
*Your host provides a starter supply of coffee, but you might want to bring your own to top this up
*The view is of the courtyard, so this home lacks a bit of natural light
*We think the drapes, shower curtain, and some of the furniture could be updated
