Modern and bright, this apartment in Boulogne-Billancourt is a fuss-free base in the City of Lights. It has a touch of that quintessential French character, most notably the Juliet balconies on the windows. Just note that it's not the biggest – the bathroom is compact, and the kitchen lacks an oven and stove. That said, there are plenty of eateries nearby where you can sample local favourites. You're also a short walk from the nearest metro for adventures into the centre and only thirty minutes on foot from Seine Musicale, Bois de Boulogne and Parc de Saint Cloud.

Home truths:
*The kitchen lacks a stove and an oven. It's not well-suited to rustling up large meals, but there's a toaster and microwave to make lighter bites. You'll also find plenty of eateries in the neighbourhood.
*Please note that the shower here is very compact.
*A member of your host's team will greet you upon arrival.
*There isn't a desk here, but the dining area can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you need to work from home.
*Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in Paris. Billancourt metro station is less than five minutes away on foot.
