Locations don't get much better than this. Set on the prestigious Avenue Victor Hugo in the swanky 16th arrondissement, this apartment is moments from artisan bakeries, trendy restaurants, and high-end boutiques. It's Parisian living at its finest, and the interiors perfectly stack up to the postcode. The building dates back to the 1880s, and there are hints of Haussmann-style character in nearly every room. While we love the bright living area and comfortable bedrooms, our favourite feature is the balconies, where you can perch with a glass of wine and watch the hustle and bustle below.

Home truths:
*As this home overlooks Avenue Victor Hugo, some street noise is likely.
*There’s a desk here if you plan to work from home.
*Daily housekeeping is provided, and linen changes can be done as required.
*Board games are available on request.
*Parking may be possible here – please ask your host for more details – but we don't think a car is necessary in Paris. The nearest metro station is a short walk away.
