Audiophiles Only: Île-de-France

Cool and quirky, this Parisian pad is perfect for music lovers. Between the medium-grand Steinway, the small vinyl collection, and the skylit attic with a PS5, boredom will be few and far between here. Granted, it's on the fourth floor of a building without a lift, but the top-level layout means you'll have access to a Juliet balcony and a roof terrace overlooking the pretty streets. All that, and you're just a short walk from Le Marais' many eateries, shops, and art galleries – no wonder it caught our eye.

Home truths:
*This home is on the fourth floor of a building without an elevator. We suggest packing light, as there'll be quite a few stairs to climb here.
*The downstairs neighbours are sensitive to noise, so your host asks that you keep loud music and conversation to a minimum after 11pm.
*Your host asks you not to wear shoes inside, as it helps protect the floor and reduces noise. We recommend bringing slippers during the winter.
*The bathroom has a glass window that looks directly into the main bedroom, so it's not the most private.
*The second bedroom is upstairs in the attic. The space is a tad snug.
*You may have access to a shared indoor pool here – please speak to your host for more details.
