Nestled on the Left Bank, this apartment matches its bohemian surroundings perfectly. The owner is an artist, so there's creative flair here in spades. Vintage furniture, bold colours, eclectic decor (yes, that's a polar bear in the kitchen) – we love every eccentric detail. Most of all, though, we adore the stunning views of the Basilique Sainte-Clotilde, which you can glimpse from the living room or, even better, on the private balcony. And we can't forget the unbeatable location. Whether you want to take it slow with book browsing and alfresco dining or pick up the pace and do some sightseeing, you'll be well-placed here to experience the best of Paris. Home truths: *As is common in France, the WC is separate from the main bathroom. It's not photographed, but expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *There's an elevator in the building, but it can only fit one person at a time. *Though there isn't air conditioning here, your host will supply fans in the bedroom between June and September. Let them know if you'd like fans outside of this period. *The kitchen is compact but has everything you need to cook meals at home. *The fireplaces here are ornamental only. *The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
