Description L'Orangerie: Paris

Nestled in the heart of l'Île St Louis and tucked away in a quiet courtyard lies this kooky abode. Sprawling across three floors with a quaint courtyard, there's something truly relaxing about this hidden-away home. Although the distribution with a bedroom in the basement may not be to everyone's taste, the conservatory-style kitchen is the jewel in this home's crown - large enough to both cook and entertain.

Home truths:
*Direct sunlight shines onto one of the single beds on the basement floor - not ideal for light sleepers.
*Although the entrance to this home is on the entrance level, it's built over three floors with a basement level and a second floor.
*The bathroom is located on the basement level.
*Taller guests may find the ceilings a bit low.
*The staircases are rather steep.
*If you're into gym, this home has a room dedicated to it.
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.
