The Grand Rex

Drop your bags at this stylish apartment right in Paris's beating heart. After an in-person check-in with your host, you'll be getting out into the city in no time at all. There's plenty to reach on foot, from the iconic Louvre to the famous Grand Rex cinema. For further exploration, just hop on a bike at the local Vélib station or take advantage of one of the nearby metro and bus stops. You'll find the kitchen well-equipped for cooking up small meals, with a wealth of restaurants nearby for when you don't feel like cooking. The sofa bed adds extra practicality when travelling with friends, though the lack of a door between the bedroom and living space means limited privacy and space.

Home truths:
*Given the central location, expect some noise during your stay.
*The communal areas of this building, like the hallway, are quite worn and dated.
*This home is in an apartment building, so expect to occasionally bump into other guests.
*There's a sofa bed in the living area, but space is tight when it's in use. With that in mind, we think this home is best for two.
*The only bathroom here is en-suite and very small.
*Parking in Paris can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to public transport. Several bus stops and metro stations are nearby, including Bonne Nouvelle and Strasbourg Saint-Denis.
*Your host will greet you and help you check in upon arrival. Contactless check-in is an option here.
*Some free cleaning is provided here.
