Le Flore

In the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this chic apartment makes a fantastic retreat for couples. Your host has carefully considered every detail, from air conditioning and a laptop-friendly workspace to luxe L'Occitane products and fluffy bathrobes. The kitchen is well-stocked (albeit compact) if you plan to rustle up meals at home, though there are plenty of local eateries and Michelin restaurants nearby. There's also a sofa bed for two guests, but we think space will be a squeeze with it in use. Location-wise, Jardin du Luxembourg is an easy stroll away, as are markets, shops, and theatres.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area. As space is tight, we think this home is best for two.
*Pets are welcome to join you here. Your host provides baskets and bowls for them if needed.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot upon request.
*Though this building has a lift, it only reaches the fifth floor. This apartment is on the sixth level, so you'll need to climb stairs to reach the front door.
*The kitchen is compact but has all the essentials you'll need to rustle up lighter fare. The oven is a combined oven-microwave.
