The Puppet Show

The Puppet Show: Île-de-France

A duplex apartment with heaps of lived-in charm, your host's collection of objects from all over the world makes it a unique addition to the collection. Although some of the amenities, particularly in the kitchen, are slightly dated, it makes up for it with two leafy and welcoming outdoor spaces with seating and fantastic views. This tranquil home has a location to match – it's a little out of the way but the neighbourhood is filled with quaint streets and independent businesses, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more authentic Parisian experience.

Home truths:
* Although perfectly functional, the kitchen appliances and some of the outdoor furniture are feeling a little dated
*Guests may find the Wi-Fi to be temperamental
* There is no air conditioning in this home
