Description The Balinese Dancer: Paris

This home is set within an exclusive central spot, in what's informally known as Paris' Little Tokyo – a hub of Japanese cuisine, but also offering a variety of specialty stores and tea rooms. The home is cosy and welcoming, with lots of darker tones and exposed original beams. There is a nod to Eastern design too, with a few intricately carved pieces with heaps of character. It would suit a small family of three looking for a homely space in the heart of central Paris.

Home truths:
* While there is a lift, a short flight of stairs is unavoidable

* The bed in the second bedroom is a basic sofa bed so it's more suitable for children or shorter stays

* There is a washing machine but no tumble dryer, so you'll have to wait for your clothes to hang dry

* There is no air conditioning in this home
