A beautifully designed home in the heart of the Marais. There's so much to love, from the characterful wooden beams, to the large windows that flood the space in light. The kitchen is stylish and well-equipped too with everything you might need for your stay if you did fancy cooking at home. The place has been renovated with great attention to detail and everything is spotless. We will admit the second bedroom up the stairs is extremely narrow, based up in the eaves – cosy but compact.

Home truths:
* The room on the first floor is located under the eaves and is incredibly narrow with a low ceiling, definitely the short straw in terms of bedroom options and more suited for children
* The elevator is small and there is no disabled access
* There is no air conditioning throughout the home so it's likely to get hot during summer months
* Please be aware that for a late check-in there is a surcharge for an out-of-hours greeter – the charge is €30 if you plan to arrive after 7 p.m. or €50 for arrivals after 11 p.m.
*In reality, the home may seem slightly smaller than the pictures depict
