Description Fancy Candles: Paris

A centre-of-the-action Marais location that's difficult to beat is probably this home's superpower, although once inside this one-bedroom apartment you'll also find plenty of excuses to stay in. Tall French windows let in heaps of natural light while rustic exposed beams evoke a sense of cosiness. Your host has mixed Scandi-inspired modern pieces with more traditional French-style ones to create a unique eclectic style. An ideal space for a couple looking to make the most of the restaurants, cafés and bars in the area, the sofa-bed offers additional capacity at a squeeze.

Home truths:
* The apartment is located on the 2nd floor with no lift access so pack light and get ready to climb

* With a restaurant in the ground floor of the building you should expect the occasional scent, specially if you are planning to leave the windows open

* There is no air-conditioning in this home

* 2 guests could sleep in the bedroom thanks to a US Queen size bed and 2 more guests could sleep in the living room thanks to a sofa bed
