If you suspect that staying in a loft in one of Paris' most exciting neighbourhoods might be the life for you, then this home is the perfect pick. The open-plan living space is thoroughly modern, with crisp, white walls and a giant skylight that ushers in plenty of natural light. Retro lovers will enjoy hours of entertainment with the old-school arcade game machine, while fitness fanatics can use the collection of weights for an invigorating workout. Those looking to work remotely will enjoy setting up in the light-filled mezzanine space, which is perfect for co-working, and when you need a break you can whip up a hot coffee or use the fruit press to make some fresh orange juice. The Canal Saint-Martin is just two minutes away, and while this area is not especially central, it has become one of the coolest neighbourhoods in recent years. Be prepared to meet a very hip crowd who hang out at the independent bars and restaurants along the water, and grab a coffee if you want to join them for a stroll. And, if you want to head into the heart of the city, just hop on the métro at Jacques Bonsergent station to arrive there in around fifteen minutes.
