Vistas in Time

Set in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, this apartment places you in one of Paris’s most lively and authentic neighbourhoods. While it's a little tight for four guests, we think it's a great choice for couples or solo travellers. The kitchen lacks an oven, but we expect you'll be immersing yourself in the area's food scene anyway – you'll have your pick of independent cafes, bakeries, wine bars and bistros within walking distance. Don't miss the bustling Boulevard Richard-Lenoir market – or hop on the underground and be at the Louvre for a spot of sightseeing in just twenty-five minutes.

Home truths:
*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.
*At full capacity, the apartment can sleep four guests with two on the sofa bed in the living room. However, as there are only two places at the dining table, this could feel a little snug – this set-up would be better for families with children or close-knit groups, rather than groups of adults.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
