Bahia

Bahia: Île-de-France

This spacious two-bedroom apartment shines for its centre-of-the-action location, close to the main attractions of the Marais. It's perfectly equipped to keep a two couples comfortable during their Parisian stay, although some may miss a second bathroom for a more agile morning routine. Featuring a modern open-plan living space with a few stylish details and exposed beams in the bedrooms, this home looks simple at first sight but packs a fair amount of character and charm.

Home truths:
* Two guests may use the double sofa bed in the living room although it will be at the expense of lounge seating
* The living space is in the ground floor level so it's not the brightest home
* There's a lower than average beam when entering, about 200 cm
* You're right in the centre of the action so you should expect to hear some noise
*The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask
* There is no air conditioning in this home
* Checkout is conducted in person by a greeter who will collect the keys and carry out an inventory
