This bright one-bedroom home has a stylish modern look. With light wooden floors, wicker chairs, lanterns a and a bright yellow wall in the bedroom, it has a lively and playful attitude that goes well with its clean lines. We love the giant glass windows that make up the main wall of the living area and the way they bring light into the whole flat – eat breakfast at the square wooden table or drink your coffee on the grey velvet sofa while the morning filters in. You’ll find a kitchen big enough for preparing meals and a cosy bedroom cove to tuck away in at the end of the night. Plus, the bathroom is freshly redone with white subway tile and sparkling new fixtures. When it’s time to explore, set out to wander along the beautiful Canal Saint-Martin, a three-minute walk away. The neighbourhood is full of bars, boulangeries and restaurants worth sampling. When you’re ready to sightsee, the metro station is just a five-minute walk away and will connect you all over the city.

*This apartment is on ground level and looks onto the building's courtyard – this makes it feel a little less private
*The bedroom is divided from the rest of the apartment by a glass sliding door – while there are curtains, it is not the most private if there are guests on the sofa bed
