Maven & May is the place to be if you’re a foodie and love to eat out. Found in the 10th arrondissement, the immediate area is full of cool restaurants, classy bars, and independent boutiques, all worth checking out. An ideal base for a group of friends or a family, it’s also well-connected in terms of public transport. The home itself is on the simpler side (the kitchen is quite small), but it’s brimming with natural light, which is always a plus factor for us.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom has no windows, bedside tables or outlets within reach of the bed
*There's no air conditioning throughout the home – it may get hot during summer months
