Cannelle

Built in 1885 as part of an aristocratic residence, this home certainly has its fair share of glamour. You’ll notice magnificent tall windows, original handmade mouldings and exposed beams, and though it's been thoroughly modernised, today’s décor speaks to its luxurious past – golden stools, chandeliers, purple velvet sofas and marble bathrooms will have you feeling like Parisian royalty.

Prepare dinners at home in the teal kitchen and retire to comfortable beds with colourful throws. There's a peaceful master bedroom with a pretty window and elegant en-suite, along with a mezzanine up the floating spiral staircase, where up to four more guests can sleep.

You’ll be in a prime location, just a fourteen-minute walk from the Louvre and seventeen minutes from the beautiful Palais Garnier Opera House. Plus, the trendy neighbourhood of Le Marais, with its boutiques, museums and cafes, is less than a twenty-minute stroll away.

Home truths:
*The home may feel smaller than the photos show – we recommend a maximum guest count of four
*Two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living area
*Due to the central location, you may hear some noise during your stay
*Bedroom two is up the spiral staircase on the mezzanine with no curtain and has two double mattresses on the floor – it's open to the living room and has a low head height so it's more suited to children (although it's not recommended for very young children)
*The lift is small – it can only accommodate two people without bags at a time, or one person with a bag (don't send bags up unattended)
*The host can provide a baby cot and a high chair, at no extra cost
