If there's one thing we enjoy more than a modern duplex apartment, it's when that apartment sits snuggly in the eaves of an old building, and architectural features like rickety, exposed beams and a spiral staircase weave in some old-time charm to create a refreshingly original home. Situated in the city's hip 11th, the home of foodies and fashionistas, there's heaps of bars and restaurants on your doorstep, with the glamorous Opéra Bastille nearby. Not to mention a string of oh-so-tempting boutiques. We're sure you'll love exploring this zingy neighbourhood, but with a slew of subway stations jus minutes away, you can easily venture as far a field as you fancy.
LIVING ROOM
Quirky interiors mix with modern furniture and colourful accents, to offer a space that's both imaginatively curated and invitingly cosy. We love the atmospherically low ceilings and vintage, dark-wood floors, although things stay fresh and airy with white-washed walls, cool-blue accents, and plenty of French windows letting the light stream in. Whether your tastes are for old-school quirks or modernist style, there's a little something for everyone — our highlights being the unique, antique fireplace and what might be our favourite curved sofa ever.
KITCHEN
The kitchen presents a similar lesson in contrasts with its vivid colours and chequered floor. Compact but well-equipped, there's plenty of light to open things up in here too. And if you fancy a spot of breakfast before you head out for a day's sightseeing, there's a quaint little table with two chairs.
BEDROOM
Wind your way up the little spiral staircase into the rafters, and you'll find yourself on a cosy mezzanine floor, brightened by attic windows and fresh tones. The aesthetic is simple, the double bed is comfy, and a slanted attic ceiling gives you the best view of those signature beams.
BATHROOM
A sleek attic bathroom, featuring silver-grey tiles, a bath with overhead shower, wash basin, and WC. You'll also find a combined washer and dryer.
**To rent this property, the minimum age requirement is 25 years old.**
