A quiet and cosy duplex with a good dose of character, this New York loft-style apartment is the perfect mix of industrial and contemporary, with a unique collection of vintage pieces. Located in a tranquil street in a hip and exciting neighbourhood, you'll have endless trendy restaurants and cafes to discover, while Marché Saint-Martin is literally right opposite for the freshest produce. A couple looking for a home that's bright with splashes of colour and personality in one of the coolest quarters will find it an ideal option.

Home truths:
* The toilet is in the upper floor which is not as convenient for those who need it during the night

* Access to the bedroom is via a narrow spiral staircase and there is no door separating this space so noise will travel

* The basement bedroom lacks some natural light
*There's a desk for those needing to work from home
