The White Beam

A large clean and bright home in the heart of Paris, what's not to love? Close to Étienne Marcel and Les Halles you'll be at the centre of the action, with shops, museums and attractions just around the corner. The home itself is modern, minimal and well-equipped. The bedrooms have plenty of storage space and the kitchen has everything you'd need to cook up a storm. We love the large windows in the living room that lets lots of light inside. The ceiling height upstairs is very small and the staircase is quite narrow so we wouldn't recommend tall people or young children staying.

Home truths:
* The ceilings on the mezzanine are very low meaning you can't standing up in these rooms – perhaps one to avoid for taller guests
* The two twin beds upstairs are not separated by a partition so the guests here may not have much privacy
*The stairs leading up to the upper floor are a little dangerous because they are very narrow
* The bathroom feels dark and a little oppressive
* There is no air conditioning in this home so it will get hot during summer months
* There is no lift to the entrance, so pack light and prepare to climb some stairs
