42 Rue Victor Hugo

Rooms

There are 2 self-contained apartments on the first floor of this townhouse.

The Apartment is elegant yet comfortable, with original oak parquet flooring throughout. You enter through large double doors, and the suite unfolds off a wide corridor. To the left is the bedroom and bathroom; straight ahead, the salon and kitchen. The salon has huge windows that let the light flood in, while the marble fireplace has a pretty rococo design. Sink into the large sofa and watch a film or put the iPod on random and relax with a glass of wine (NB, don't worry if you've forgotten your own iPod; a fully loaded one is here for your convenience, with a whole range of music to suit every taste!).

There's a vast kingsize bed in the bedroom (made up with sumptuously soft 400tc bedding, naturally) and the ensuite wet room has a trendy walk-in shower, luxurious toiletries, robes, a hairdryer and a chic walnut vanity unit.

The Studio is more contemporary (mezzanine layout, slate flooring), but the decor and furnishings are very similar to The Apartment's. The only real difference is that it has a formal dining space and is split level. Steepish wooden stairs lead up to the mezzanine sleeping area (limited headroom), with its comfy kingsized bed. It's not suitable for those with limited mobility.
