Tucked down a quiet cul-de-sac in the 14th arrondissement, this home will make you feel like a real Parisian. It’s spread over four levels so there are lots of stairs to climb here, but we love the abundance of space, particularly in the loft bedroom which has access to its own private balcony. The home also has a lovely, lived-in feel, decked out in original paintings by your host and boasting plenty of reading material for cosy evenings in. And to top it all off, it’s well served by public transport, so sightseeing is as easy as un, deux, trois.

Home truths:
*It's laid out over four floors with internal stairs between them. It may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
*This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay. You'll find artwork and ornaments in this home, so it might not be the best choice if you're travelling with children.
*The fireplace in the living room is purely decorative.
*If you're planning to work remotely, the third bedroom doubles up as a home office. This room's bed can be prepared as a double or two singles.
*The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery and cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in.
