Hokusai's Keep

Located just off the centre of Rennes, this quiet apartment is the perfect base for those looking to explore the city on foot. You're a short walk from Thabor Park for your morning stroll, with bakeries, bars and mini-markets nearby. If you're here for museums and monuments, the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Saint George Palace are also easily accessible, with the historical street of Sainte-Melaine a light walk from your doorstep.

Stepping inside, the living space is wonderfully bright and open. You'll notice the homey decorative details that add a real warmth to the urban pad – from the red-coloured velvet sofa to the books, ornaments and Hokusai's 'The Big Wave' art prints. The bedrooms are just as stylish, with additional desk space for those working from home, and you'll find a fully-equipped kitchen with a charming, window-side dining area for you to tuck into breakfast around the table while mapping out your tourist itinerary.
