Recently renovated by an architect, this home is well designed and tastefully decorated albeit minimalist in style. Expect high quality finishes and airy spaces with a good dose of natural light. It also manages to feel super calm despite being located in a very happening part of town, just by La Madeleine and Palais Garnier – the perfect destination for luxury shopping and dining out. It would suit two couples looking for a minimalist base in a buzzing and central neighbourhood.

Home truths:
* There's only one toilet which all guests will have to share

* The home is a little lacking in lived-in character

* There is no air conditioning in this home
