Description The Red Umbrella: Paris

This apartment is located in Belleville, just a short walk from Canal Saint Martin, Buttes Chaumont Park and an array of world-class restaurants. Off the beaten track, yet within easy reach of the tourist hotspots, you'll get to live like a local here. With a small kitchenette back home, you'll want to take advantage of the area's noteworthy cafes and eateries. It's a small space, but it's styled nicely and we appreciate the extra touches like a Nespresso machine, smart TV, and toiletries. However, it's worth being aware that the apartment sits on the third floor without a lift, so you'll need to climb the stairs quite regularly.

Home truths:
*The apartment is on the third floor without a lift, so be prepared to climb some stairs. *Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. We think the best way to explore is on foot, rather than driving. *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. The tiny high-top dining table only has room for two. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
