Light Fandango Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

A magical place to stay in the heart of Paris, this home is light, fresh and full of pretty details. Recently renovated with a great deal of care (your host lives in this building too, so she's a big fan), it's up on a high floor of this beautiful Haussmannian building. Step inside and you'll find modern, calming shades of white, grey and pink, made all the more sophisticated thanks to a striking herringbone floor and a trio of period windows that look out over the rooftops.

Furnished with stylish, contemporary pieces and a lot of cleverly built-in storage, it's as practical as it is attractive. You'll have a small but perfectly formed kitchen, with everything you'll need for cooking at home, a breakfast bar and a cosy sofa. A room divider separates this living space from the bedroom and there's a desk so you can get some work done in comfort. And we love the marble bathroom with its big Italian shower.

Best of all, this home is in one of our favourite parts of the city. Vibrant and authentic, there are cafes and restaurants right on your doorstep, plus it's just a five-minute walk from Pigalle and ten from the Butte Montmartre.

Home truths:
*Your home is on the sixth floor and there's no lift – it means there are great rooftop views but you'll become well acquainted with the stairs
* There's laptop-friendly workspace at the desk
*Technically a studio home, there's just a room divider between the living space and bedroom
*The double bed is up against a wall to one side
*You'll have a shared entrance into the building
*Please respect the neighbours when it comes to noise
