Airy and spacious for a small group or family, this charming apartment with high ceilings and exposed beams is perfect to explore the buzzing Marais. Although the home does lack entertainment options, it makes up for it with its convenient central location – whether it's shopping, great food or culture that you're after, the Marais has it all. With its somewhat minimal decor it will suit guests with a taste for a more modern look.

Home truths:
* The home is a 2nd floor apartment and there is no elevator access

* While the bathrooms are clean and practical, they would benefit from an update

* There is air-conditioning in the living room only
