Apartments in highly desirable cities such as Paris can often be smaller than what we want - when a host like Carine takes such care to thoughtfully design and plan out their space, it makes a world of difference. I love the layout of Carine's flat and in particular how she has managed to create 5 separate spaces (wc, shower room, kitchen, sleeping area and sitting area). The quality of materials and color only adds to the feeling of calm and quiet efficiency. Exceptionally well done.
