Shakespeare & Gardens: Paris

This cosy Latin Quarter apartment makes ingenious use of space, with a breakfast bar tucked into the sleek white kitchen and work desks in the corner of each bedroom. Olive dining chairs and peach-hued wall art add subtle hints of colour to the contemporary furnishings in the living area. While stylish choices – like a blue suede chair and pink raw silk pillows – add some pizzazz to the bedrooms. We love how this home retains its original character with ornamental fireplaces and wooden floors. Yet it has all the comforts of a modern space, including wireless speakers and a smart TV. After a dreamy day out walking along the Seine and nipping into the cafes and bookstores in the neighbourhood, this is an ideal place to unwind.

Home truths:
*The host may show the apartment to prospective tenants on weekdays between 9am-6pm, with at least one day’s prior notice
*The decor and furniture arrangement are refreshed on a regular basis and so may differ slightly from the photos
