This bright, stylish home not only wowed us with its looks but also with its prime floor-to-ceiling views over Paris' rooftops (spot the Eiffel Tower in the distance). This creative and utopian space is an oasis of calm, with a plethora of eye-catching design elements that have been carefully curated by the hosts who are – unsurprisingly – artists themselves. We love the feature lighting in the living room and the tumble of houseplants that gives the open space a bohemian vibe. Our favourite feature, however, is the large terrace where a table and chairs invite alfresco breakfasts (provided by your host) and sunset drinks while watching the Iron Lady sparkle in the distance. With a desk in the bedroom, you can easily catch up on work before setting out for a day of sightseeing. Speaking of exploring, you’re just a fifteen-minute walk from the Canal St Martin, while both Montmartre and Le Marais are under a twenty-five-minute walk away.


Home truths:
*At maximum capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a pull-out bed in the living room
*There are limited entertainment options here as there's no TV
*The host has an art workshop in the same building, so they are readily on hand should you need anything
