Settle into Parisian life at this bright apartment in Boulogne-Billancourt. It's not in the city centre, but it works a treat for those wanting a more laid-back, authentic experience. Besides, with a metro station nearby, you can easily zip back and forth to all the landmarks. It's a great size for groups, with a light-filled living area and three comfortable bedrooms. Only two have air conditioning and desks, but the main suite boasts a sleek bathroom ideal for unwinding. There's also a small balcony – the views aren't the most exciting, but it's still a nice spot to enjoy a tipple or two.

Home truths:
*One bedroom isn't air-conditioned.
*There's a pocket door between bedrooms two and three, which can be closed for privacy.
*You'll find a desk in the bedroom if you plan to work from home.
*Though parking isn't provided, you won't need a car in Paris. There are multiple metro stations within walking distance.
