It’s hard to decide whether we love this apartment or its location more – and that’s always a good sign. This home will have you right in the middle of Le Marais, a gorgeous neighbourhood with beautiful narrow streets, boutique shopping, lively restaurants and lots of museums. You’ll be just a three-minute walk from Museé Picasso and ten minutes from Place des Vosges. Should you be in the mood for more contemporary art, The Centre Pompidou is thirteen minutes away on foot and promises a cultured afternoon. In fact, the inside of this home feels a bit like a gallery itself – with stained glass, modern art, Haussmannian period features and interior design reminiscent of early 20th-century style. We love the plush leather couches, the large French windows and the green accent walls. The kitchen of this home is another treat with its roomy marble countertops, breakfast bar and antique scale. Of course, it’s possible that with so many good restaurants around, you may not be eating at home all that much. Home truths: *Quiet hours are in effect after 10 pm. *This home is on the first floor with no lift – there are about twenty steps to the home. *The bed in bedroom two is a sofa bed. *You won't find a manual or handbook for this home, but your host should be on hand if you have any issues.
