This stunning lived-in home with a rather unique style offers smart spaces that have been road tested for family living. It boasts a maximalist decorative style that may not suit those who favour the minimalist look, but we can't help swooning over its mix of old and new – there are many period features, contemporary artworks and an overall warm colour palette. A family with a more eccentric taste for interiors and looking to stay in one of the most hip parts of town – South Pigalle – will find it ticks all the boxes for a truly authentic Parisian stay.

Home truths:
*The host has updated the decor since the photos were taken, including new linen in the bedrooms. We're waiting on new photographs – please reach out to the host for more details.
*This home only has one toilet – the other bathrooms do not have a toilet.
*The maximum duration for staying at this home is two weeks.
*The family bathroom is a fair distance from the master and second bedrooms.
*We found the mattresses in this home to be on the soft side.
*There is no air conditioning in this home.
*This is a lived-in home with a lot of character and quirky artwork. We think that adds to the charm, but it may not suit guests seeking a contemporary stay.
*Like most original wooden floors, they can make a noise.
