Ask the host anything
Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A family with a taste for modern spaces and a love of literature will find this home ticks all the boxes and many more. You'll find books in almost every corner of this house, from the living area to the bedrooms – even the kitchen boasts an impressive collection of cookbooks. You'll love flicking through them for inspiration, and cooking up a delicious feast to share at the long, chic dining table. The apartment manages to feel cosy without being cluttered, and you'll find plenty of charming design touches, like the exposed stone wall in the living room and the little outdoor courtyard which can also be accessed from the master bedroom. The location in the 10th Arrondissement is not quite in the centre of Paris, but that's actually what makes it so attractive. You'll find the hip cafes and restaurants of Canal Saint-Martin are right on your doorstep, and there's no better way to spend a morning than by strolling along the historic waterway. And, if you want to venture into the heart of the city, simply just on the Métro at Goncourt – the station is just six minutes away.
