Situated on the very same street that Pablo Picasso painted Guernica, you know this is no ordinary postcode. The buzzing aristocratic Odéon neighbourhood on the south bank of the Seine is a sleepless rallying point for locals and visitors alike. It’s impossible to run out of things to do immediately on your doorstep with the Odéon Théâtre and chic Boulevard Saint-Germain each within a ten-minute walk. From your privileged riverside spot, you’ve access to fantastic views of the Île de la Cité—the oldest settlement in Paris—and the Notre Dame in the distance. The home itself has an impressively large living space that occupies a whole floor. With a home cinema set-up, pool table and a striking Yamaha piano, there's enough to keep the whole group entertained for days. The twin bedroom makes it ideal for a large family with children—and then some, given the expansive dining table that seats up to 14 people.

Home truths:
*The bedrooms have triple glazing but as they overlook the bank of the Seine and a busy road you may hear some background noise
*The massage tub, though large, is only to be used by a single guest at a time to avoid flooding
*This home is available for event hire but it will be at different rates—please enquire with your host
*Although the sofa bed in the living space can sleep two people, we recommend sticking to a party of six to ensure the comfort of each guest
*Parking is available upon request—ask your host for more information
