This compact studio is a well-optimised space that would suit a single traveller or couple after a base from which to explore the city. While it probably wouldn't work for those looking to spend most of their time at home, it's sat within walking distance of Canal Saint-Martin and is ideal for discovering the surrounding cafés and mingling with the locals on the quay side.

Home truths:
* It's a ground floor flat and the windows are frosted for privacy so you shouldn't expect heaps of natural light
* It's a studio apartment with no lounge so it can feel a little cramped
* The kitchen is basic and there's no oven
* There is no air conditioning in this home
