Set just three minutes from the beautiful Canal Saint-Martin, you’ll be well-placed by some of the cities’ best bakeries, bars and restaurants – plus, it’s just a three-minute walk to the metro and thirteen minutes to Gare du Nord, meaning the rest of Paris is within easy reach. This charming apartment benefits from an open-concept plan that blends the dining area with the kitchen and the living room sofa with the tucked-away bedroom. Light hardwood floors, colourful pillows and a bright red wall add in personality, as do the geometric bathroom tiles and wicker accents. Fix yourself an espresso to enjoy on the sofa, then pick up some pastries to munch on around the dining table. When you return home at the end of the night, the grey sofa is especially inviting, and the bedroom feels like the perfect spot to drift off after a day on your feet.

At full occupancy, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living area.There's a highchair and crib available on request for those travelling with younger guests. The bedroom is divided from the rest of the apartment by a glass sliding door – while there are curtains, it is not the most private if there are guests on the sofa bed. This home is well connected to public transit – you're a five-minute walk from Stalingrad station where you can catch metro lines 2,5 and 7 and you're just a thirteen-minute walk from Gare du Nord.

Canal Saint Martin is to Paris what Williamsburg once was to New York or Shoreditch was to London. This part of town still retains a certain grittiness that has been largely lost from the abovementioned counterparts - gentrification is undoubtedly on its way but the area still feels authentic and edgy so get there before this changes! You'll be rubbing shoulders with Paris's hippest young things, smoking and drinking outside the popular bars and restaurants in Cour des Petites Ecuries, as well as locals grabbing a bite at one of the many excellent South Asian restaurants. Be sure to check out Le Comptoir Général - an old 600 square-metre converted barn (now restaurant/bar) that serves as HQ for the local hipster scene and is definitely worth seeking out for a drink. Rue Oberkampf is where it’s at for vibrant night-life.
