Description Moderna: Paris

This spacious family apartment right in the heart of the Marais presents a perfect balance between style and family comforts. Its modernist look includes vintage pieces and iconic design, which complements the home's Haussmanian features for a uniquely Parisian personality. There's a record player and art book library so entertainment is guaranteed, while a child's bedroom is filled with toys, making it an ideal option for a young family of three or four.

Home truths:
* Both the bedrooms and living space overlook the street so it can be noisy, particularly with the windows open

* The second bedroom is for children only – while one of the bunk beds is a standard single size, the lower level only has a small child's mattress

* We found the bathroom to be compact and slightly dated

* There is no air conditioning in this home
