Located in a quiet street in the lively 10th arrondissement, you will not be short of cool coffee shops, eclectic restaurants and independent shops in the Canal Saint-Martin district of Paris. The home's four double bedrooms will ideally accommodate a large group of friends or a family as the large living space is set up to entertain adults and children alike – there's a large smart TV, a PlayStation 4, and plenty of board games and toys for the younger ones. The modern, mismatched interiors inflict a few bold touches, although the core of the home is typically Parisian, with high ceilings and herringbone parquet flooring and French doors that open out to a view of the street below. All in all, a fantastic family home in a buzzing location that will position you within walking distance from Paris' best sights and attractions – leaving little need to step on public transport at all.

Home truths:

* A cat lives in the home and will not be relocated during your stay so expect some 'purry' company

* Guests travelling with lots of luggage please note the lift is on the small side

*Children's books and toys are available, but please enquire with the host if you need a high chair or cot

*There's paid parking available off the premises
