Top of the Haussmann

This modern apartment offers everything you need for a comfortable Parisian break, including a location in the heart of one of the city's most popular neighbourhoods. Little ones will love having their own twin room, while adults will appreciate the dedicated work desk and wardrobe space. Nestled in the eaves of a classic Parisian building, you can gaze across the zinc rooftops of the 8th arrondissement from this home – though the location may make for a hot stay in the summer. Enjoy dinners at home (there's a supermarket just down the road), or sample French cuisine in local restaurants – there are plenty on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*This home is on the sixth floor. Access is via a lift to the fifth floor and then stairs, so it may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility. The lift is small, so if you're a larger group or have a lot of luggage, you may have to do a few trips.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free on request.
*As this is an attic apartment, it can get hot in the summer, even with the air conditioning.
*While the dining table can seat six, it might feel a little snug.
