Plum Guide - Rothko's Idol

There's nothing more Parisian than an old, irregular building, and in Rothko's Idol you'll find plenty of strange angles and oddly-shaped spaces. Apart from its inherent period charm, this home's a quite special addition to the collection given its stylish mid-century decor. A highlight is the bespoke kitchen cabinetry, which incorporates a repurposed vintage sideboard. A group looking for a unique stay in a happening quarter will feel right at home in Saint-Germain-des-Prés – the historic birthplace of Paris and still one of the most vibrant parts of town.

Home truths:
* It's an old building with unnatural angles and low ceilings


* The entrance is on a first floor with no lift access so some stairs are unavoidable


* There is no air conditioning in this home
