Located just by Boulevard Beaumarchais – home of iconic concept stores and popular delis – this Marais pad is also bright thanks to its south-facing orientation. Spacious for a couple, the home's decor and features reflect the personality of its multifaceted and well-travelled host. We particularly enjoyed the projector for romantic movie nights in, as well as a rather nostalgic record player. It benefits from the perks of a lived-in home, with a quality pocket sprung mattress and an equipped kitchen for enthusiastic home cooks.

Home truths:
* Telly-addicts beware – there is no TV in this home but there is a projector for movie nights or to catch up on your favourite Netflix shows

* There is no air-conditioning in this home
