A characterful home if ever we saw one in an exceptional location, a stone's throw away from Saint-Germain metro station – this was an inevitable addition to the Plum collection. The decoration is bold yet brilliant, with a mix of thick grey horizontal and vertical stripes alongside exposed brick walls, old rustic beams and solid wooden doors complete with their original steel latches. It should be warned, that there is no air conditioning so things can get hot during the summer months, this aside, the home is well-equipped, with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay in Paris.
