Smile

Located in a quiet and residential area of the city, this funky pad is a functional family home full of warmth and character. Stepping in to look around at the chic decor, you'll find an abundance of vibrant colours, abstract artwork, comfy seating and green houseplants that make for a modern and breathable interior. Natural light pours in through the sliding glass doors, creating a bright and airy kitchen area to knock up a lazy brunch or sip your morning java from the sleek breakfast bar. Better still, enjoy a glass of bubbly from your private balcony, with lovely views of the Eiffel Tower – it's the perfect spot to pause and take it all in, before a day of exploration. Outside of the building, the Parc Georges Brassens is a peaceful green expanse for afternoon strolls, while enjoying the authentic Parisian atmosphere, away from the usual tourists and intense crowds. You'll discover a wide range of cafés, bars and restaurants nearby, although if you do wish to venture into central Paris, the Montparnasse metro station is a short fifteen-minute walk from home. Cosy, comfortable, and beautifully appointed, this apartment will put a big grin on your face.

Home truths:
*At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
*While there is lift access in the building, you'll still need to climb quite a few stairs to reach the entrance of the flat on the seventh floor, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*This is a well lived-in family home, so you may find some of the host's belongings in the cupboards and wardrobes
*There is some visible peeling paint in the living room
*The host will only provide one towel per person and unfortunately you can't request extra sheets during your stay
*There is one portable air-conditioning system – you can carry it into the different rooms
*There are two metro stations within walking distance on lines six and twelve
