The Three-Piece Suit Paris, Île-de-France

Holiday Rental Description

As smart as a three-piece suit but with a touch of boldness, this home in the Arsenal district is conveniently located at a safe distance from the hordes of tourists of the Marais, but still close enough to be able to join the party. Overall spacious and decluttered, it still boasts some personality and would suit either a small group or even a couple looking to have some extra space, with its TV room that doubles up as a bedroom. This home's secret weapon? – its terrace offers partial views of some of Paris' most iconic (and taller) sights.

Home truths:
* Its style is contemporary and lacks the charm of more typical Parisian homes – those after old-world character should look elsewhere

* The second bedroom, which is also the TV room when not used for sleeping only, has a double sofa-bed

* There is no air-conditioning in this home

* The Arsenal district is quiet but very close to many central sights – the Île Saint-Louis or the Place de la Bastille are both within a short stroll
