Whether it’s from a glamourous balcony of a penthouse or the open windows of a one-bed flat, some of the best moments in Paris are lived from peering out of a high-story home with the wind in your hair and city below you. In comes the perfect Airbnb, and that looks different for everyone. Do you want a glam outdoor set-up to soak up the city of lights, champagne in hand? Or a cosy space with French windows that overlook cafes and make comforting, pitter-patter sounds when it rains? Maybe you want an entire garden that makes you forget you’re in one of the most metropolitan cities in the world?

Best areas to stay in Paris? 

It really depends on what you’re looking for. If it’s your first time in Paris, you’ll probably want to stay close to the city centre so you have easy access to the main sights. Areas like the Tuileries, Le Marais, and the literary paradise Saint-Germain are all great options. If you’re looking to get more value for your money, consider staying a little further out in the 15th, 18th, 19th, or 20th arrondissements (you'll feel more like a local here, too!) But, for trendy café culture and a bohemian atmosphere, Montmartre is a standout choice, with its charming streets and artistic vibe. Buttes Chaumont serves up some glorious Parisian townhouses. Seriously, there’s something for everyone in the city of love.

Best Paris Airbnbs

1. A writer’s flat in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Best for: foodies

Neighbourhood: Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th arrondissement)

This flat looks like something out of a Belle Epoque novel and is conveniently located in the heart of literary Paris. Eccentric and stylish, it’s a trip in itself with many vintage pieces and piles of books that Aragon (the famous French poet and novelist) would have adored. Cuddle up in its cosy atmosphere, or go make the most of the location and explore outside, right between the Seine and the Luxembourg Garden. The kitchen is small but functional, but if you're exploring Paris's restaurant scene, you're just up the road from Ippudo and Kodawari, two of the best ramen spots in town.

Price: From €531 per night.

Rooms: One bedroom. Sleeps two.

Area: Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a literary wonderland. You're only two steps away from the iconic Les Deux Magots, where famous patrons like James Baldwin, Ernest Hemmingway, George Orwell and Simone de Beauvoir would draft up their classics.

Head to the double bedroom, with its green silk panels and regal bed. Time to unwind? There’s a deep bath waiting for you. If “Paris” means Versailles vibes, gilded décor and a plate of macarons, your search ends here. This dream fits ten.
