This home is full of wonderful one-of-a-kind things – an ode to your hosts’ creative backgrounds. With a library of cinema and fashion books, gorgeous unique lamps, Turkish and African rugs and beautiful photographs, you certainly won’t tire of things to look at. We love the 18th-century Haussmannian features of this apartment – intricate mouldings, ornate fireplaces and classical Hungarian parquet flooring. Drink tea in the sitting room beside the towering plants, or prepare a meal to enjoy at the antique wood table. Of course, there’s plenty to see outside of your apartment too – the trendy neighbourhood of Canal Saint-Martin is a twelve-minute walk away, while the beautiful Sacré-Cœur basilica is a twenty-two-minute walk from the apartment and offers phenomenal panoramic views of the entire city. Should you be looking to explore other corners of Paris (or other cities and Europe), you’ll be within a five-minute walk of both Gare du Nord and Gare de L’Est, connecting you all over the city and beyond.

Home truths:
*This is a convenient neighbourhood with a local feel and many great rail connections, but you'll need to take the metro to access attractions in the city centre
*High ceilings and large French windows mean that the apartment takes a bit longer to heat up during the winter
*Given the host's collections includes many delicate and valuable objects, children under the age of eight are not permitted
*There is no air conditioning in this home
