Temple IV

Temple IV: Île-de-France

What a fantastic location this home has, slap bang in the centre of the famous and sought after Marais district, with its fashionable bars and restaurants, chic boutiques and charming, narrow medieval lanes. Art lovers will adore it here – it's just over a five-minute walk to the iconic Centre Pompidou, home to Europe's most extensive collections of modern art. Make sure you head up to its roof terrace for fabulous views of the city too. Or visit the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral with its beautiful stained glass windows, a twenty-minute stroll away. Back at this freshly renovated studio which has been creatively designed to maximise every inch of space. High ceilings and large windows bring plenty of light to each room, which incidentally have all been decorated with care and taste. We love the use of deep red and pink textiles against white walls to create a crisp and bold look, and the lime kitchen is a real statement. Cook up a breakfast with fresh French produce to enjoy at your dining table, before heading off for another exciting day of sightseeing. With so much on your doorstep, though, we doubt you'll be spending much time indoors.


Home truths:
*The ceilings are fairly low in the bathroom and the shower, something to bear in mind for taller people
*This home is located on the third floor without an elevator
*While there is a sofa bed for a third guest, it’s a bit of a squeeze for that many people – we’d recommend this home for two guests only
*Arrivals after 7pm will be subject to a late check-in fee of between €30 and €50
