Description Ginerva & Apricot: Paris

We should probably start by saying that the cosy size of this studio apartment in a traditional hôtel particulier means that it won't be for everybody, but those who like it will really like it. For a start, there are plenty of sumptuous interior design choices, from the apricot velvet bed and floral carpeting to the pair of cheetah-shaped reading lights. The deep blue tiles in the vintage-inspired shower are a treat, too. Downstairs there's a sociable lounge area where guests can get a coffee or a glass of wine, while out the doors, Le Marais offers attractions in every direction. Art-lovers will be thrilled by the number of art galleries within easy walking distance, while there are heaps of shops, restaurants and late-night bars in which to let your hair down.

Home truths:
*There's no kitchen here, only a kettle, coffee machine and small fridge
*This is one of our smallest apartments and guests should be aware that there's not a massive amount of personal space here
*There's a lift to reach this home but it might not be large enough for guests in wheelchairs
