A cosy apartment down a quiet cobblestoned alley in the Fifth Arrondissement, within a two-minute stroll of the lively market street of Rue Mouffetard. 'La Mouf' is the oldest street in Paris, and on weekends you'll find locals haggling over fresh produce. On Sundays, everyone flocks to the square at the southern end of the street, where locals gather to dance and sing accompanied by the accordion – it's an experience not to be missed. The apartment's living space in warm earthy tones will make you feel instantly at home, while the bold lime green kitchen is sure to add some zest to any homemade dishes. If you love a little colour, you'll appreciate this home and the host's attentive care goes above and beyond.

Home truths:
*There is no door between the bedroom and living space, which may be an issue when a third guest is using the single sofa bed.
*Note that the bed is a European double size (140 x 200cm)
*It's on the ground floor so when the blinds are up you might spot some of the neighbours walking past.
*The home lacks basic kitchen and bathroom supplies, including extra dishwasher tablets and toilet paper. For longer stays you may have to buy additional items.
*There is no air conditioning.
*You won't find a manual or handbook for this home, but your host should be on hand if you have any issues.
