Bleu Velour

Whether you're an art enthusiast keen to visit Le Centre Pompidou or a first-time visitor wanting to see the sights, this apartment works well for everyone. It puts Le Marais, Canal St Martin, and Sentier at your fingertips. A metro station is also a short walk away for adventures further afield. The bright living area has space for everyone to stretch out, though two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. You'll also have a well-appointed kitchen here, a cosy bedroom, and a sleek bathroom. It's practical and comfortable – just how we like our city boltholes.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
*Your host can provide a travel cot upon request.
*Given the central location, expect to hear a little noise from the street.
*The communal areas of this building might appear a little worn and dated in parts.
*Home comforts are lacking a tad. We think it works best for business travellers or those who plan to spend most of their time exploring Paris.
*Parking isn't provided here, but you won't need a car in this location. Instead of driving, take advantage of the nearby public transport – Strasbourg Saint-Denis is a short walk away.
