Description Paris Hideaway: Paris

Tucked away on a quiet street in Le Marais, this apartment places you in one of Paris' most desirable postcodes. Inside, it's compact, but thoughtfully laid out, with a stylish little kitchen and living area where French doors open onto Juliet balconies – perfect for keeping things cool in the warmer months and a spot of people-watching. There's not a huge amount of space for cooking or dining, but with cafes and restaurants right on your doorstep, we expect you'll be spending more time in than out.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
*The bedroom is located on the mezzanine level and has low ceilings.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*There's no air conditioning in this home, though French doors help to keep things bright and breezy.
*Renovation work is ongoing in the entrance hall and stairway of the apartment building. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.
