Would you stay in a Parisian stylish apartment which is located not far away from any touristy destination you would visit while in Paris? Look at this one presented by our partners One Fine Stay.

A perfect balance

Contentment is the greatest wealth, and you’ll find it in spades in this serene apartment on the enlightened Left Bank. The building’s staircase, protected under France’s heritage laws, makes you feel that you’re ascending to a higher plane, and once you’re through your front door the elegant oriental design of Rue du Cherche Midi will elevate you to a place of bliss just short of nirvana. Every detail here has been lovingly selected, from the black leather furnishings and natural wooden shelves to the carefully placed bamboo and ficus greenery. In truly harmonious fashion, everything is arranged to emphasise the peaceful space and lighting of this unique home.

A dynasty of three

Your hosts, a mother, her son and their cat Zak, take a particular delight in extending to the world their wishes for a good life, as found in the calligraphic paintings handmade by their own Chinese relatives.

Good karma

The transformation of what was a cramped Parisian apartment into a luminous and joyful space is almost miraculous. The open-plan living room invites deep contemplation, while reflection of a shallower kind is available in the snug TV room.

To find bigger thoughts, step through the thoughtful garden to bring Paris’ most intellectual neighborhood into your orbit. And when it’s time to regenerate your positive qi, return to the sleek master bedroom or wash your worries away in the monochrome bath.
