HIDDEN GEM:IMMERSE YOURSELF in an authentic Paris experience with a short-let apartment. Parisbynumbers.ie is a boutique letting agency run by Irishman Liam Lenehan. The rental operation offers studio, one, two and more bedroom apartments in all the city of light's 20 arrondissements.
There are over 250 listings to choose from, with 40 alone in fashion district Le Marais as well as several on superbly situated Île de la Cité where the deep tenor tone of the bells of Notre Dame will become the soundtrack to your stay.
Each property has distinctly Parisian features from French windows to exposed beams and a smart and clean interior. Wifi is also available in all accommodation.
Some of the residences are in buildings without lifts so ask about access before you book.
Likewise, families with young kids in need of high chairs and/or cots should also request these when booking.
The minimum stay is three nights and studio prices start from €350, which is €116 per couple per night. This reduces to as little as €81 per night if you stay seven nights.
