Dusty Blue

This trendy one-bedroom apartment is located in a historic market street in the heart of the Marais. The vibrant neighbourhood is lively day and night, so anyone looking for a base right in the heart of the action will feel right at home here. Not only does this apartment rank highly in the location stakes, but its French-infused Scandi interior is also right on point. While the lovely living area overlooks the street, the bedroom provides a quiet refuge and an energising sleep. Our favourite space is the concrete bathroom with a spacious walk-in rainfall shower. Outside your door, Le Marais offers one of Paris' premier shopping experiences, and you're just metres from the epicentre on Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, lined with all the luxury boutiques you could wish for. Once the shops have been shuttered, the neighbourhood transforms into the hipster hang-out of choice, with its cool gay bars and craft cocktails attracting young Parisians in the know.

Home truths:
*The host only accepts bookings up to six months in advance
* The noise of the bar opposite is noticeable from the living area but the bedroom is tucked in the back so it won't disturb your sleep
* There is no air conditioning in this home
* At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the communal area
