Dorian's Trunk

Dorian's Trunk: Île-de-France

Located in the more alternative Bastille quarter, this carefully curated home will transport you back to a bygone era with its classical antiques, period features and traditional portraits. Overlooking a leafy square, it's an ideal tranquil spot for a couple looking for a place with an eccentric personality. The home's not short of modern amenities – quality bedding, a large smart TV and a rainfall shower are just some of the features that guarantee a stay with the utmost comfort amid the trove of antique treasures. Plus, you’re just a twelve-minute walk from one of the oldest covered markets in Paris, Bastille Market, and seventeen minutes from the bustling neighbourhood of Le Marais.

Home truths:
*Your host provides some breakfast items
*This home is all about its character and atmosphere – some guests might find its mood lighting too dim and there are a few marks on the vintage pieces
*At full occupancy, two guests will be on the double sofa bed in the living room – as this will sacrifice lounge seating, we think this home is best suited to two guests
*This home is on the fourth floor without a lift – it is not suitable for those with limited mobility and those staying here should come prepared to climb some stairs
*There is no air conditioning
*The breakfast table in the kitchen folds up when not in use
