This light-filled five bedroom duplex apartment is stuffed full of objects and furniture collected by your host on his extensive travels. Inside you’ll find a large open-plan living space - including a home cinema set up - and a peaceful second sitting room. You’ll be staying in the heart of the 11th arrondissement and not far from Le Marais - an area known for its gourmet restaurants and age-old cafés and bars. A word of warning - the apartment is located on the fourth floor with no elevator so be prepared for some lugging of suitcases.

Home truths:
*The apartment is on the fourth floor of the building - there is no elevator so you'll have to be prepared for some free exercise!

*The apartment can accommodate twelve guests, but you will be sharing just two bathrooms which may delay getting the whole group ready and out of the house in the mornings

*The 11th and 12th guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
