Tucked in the eaves of a typical French block you'll find this wonderful light and bright home. We love the exposed rafters and eclectic mix of furniture, although some pieces do feel a bit shabby. The location is excellent too, based in the Ile de Saint Louis at the very heart of Paris, with plenty of shops, cafes and things to do in the area. The real highlight, however, is the beautiful terrace complete with panoramic views of the Parisian skyline.

Home truths:
* There is no air conditioning throughout this home so it's guaranteed to get hot during the summer months
* This home is a bit rough round the edges, if you're looking for a luxury stay then this is not the place for you
