Groove On

Groove On: Île-de-France

This ground floor apartment with a real groovy aesthetic – particularly in the bedroom – won us over with its unique style and characterful finishes. Exposed brick walls and stone structures provide contrast against the palette of funky tones. Located in quieter Batignolles, it benefits from being within walking distance from the restaurants and cafes around Place de Clichy, and it's also well-connected to the centre, with a few nearby metro stations. It would suit a couple with a taste for colour and retro design.

Home truths:
* It's a ground floor apartment so it's not the brightest and you should expect to hear some street noise from the living space

* Two guest may use the double sofa bed although it will be at the expense of lounge seating

* The kitchen is small and lacks sufficient counter space

* There is no air conditioning in this home
