This cosy flat in a 17th-century house makes for an ideal base — especially with its proximity to historic cafes like Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore.
It also evokes a French countryside vibe, thanks to the exposed ceiling beams and bucolic artworks. Further brightening up the space (and making you feel at home!) are the murals depicting scenes of Parisian life. Oh, and did we mention that it’s quite a steal, too?

Fair warning: You and your friends might end up fighting over who gets the room with a bathtub. (It’s both odd and IG-worthy — and we’re all for it!)
As with any spacious Airbnb in Paris city centre, it’s on the pricier side, but definitely worth the splurge! It’s conveniently located between the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysées, each just 10 minutes away on foot. To top it all off, the Alma-Marceau Station is also close by.

Afterwards, head out to explore Place Denfert-Rochereau, where you’ll find the entrance to the famous Paris Catacombs. But if you’re up for more verdant sights, you can also check out the Jardin du Luxembourg, just a short train ride from Denfert-Rochereau Station.
Now, if you’re thinking that the living room resembles an artist’s studio, that’s because it used to be so! Fun fact: It used to be the workspace of French painter André Mare — whose grandson is actually the Superhost, Erik. How cool is that? Perhaps the best part is that you’ll have this and the rest of the top floor all to yourselves. TBH, it’s hard to believe how it’s also quite cheap for an Airbnb in Paris.
