There's a lot more to Paris beyond its famous tower, but we think it's a pretty good place to start. Located in the 15th arrondissement, this stylish apartment is just a four minutes' walk from the Iron Lady and the scenic Champ de Mar gardens. A stroll through the immediate neighbourhood will soon have you feeling like a local – it's a quieter quarter of the city, lined with boulangeries, cafés, restaurants and bars, and home to a surplus of Parisians. Watch the world go by perched over your wrought-iron balcony with a cup of coffee in hand or fling open the original windows and invite the gentle sounds of the city below into your home. Stepping into the living area, you'll find an open-plan layout with tinged wooden floors, elegant wainscoting and velvet furnishings, creating a sophisticated yet cosy feel. It's an inviting space to relax after a day spent exploring, whether you're frying up a croque madame in the modern kitchen or catching up on some literature at the dining table. Others may prefer to unwind with an indulgent bubble bath in the freestanding tub, while those with an eye on work can host client-catch ups and meetings in the bedroom's dedicated office space. Ideal for short or long term stays, this home celebrates its traditional features while offering all of the usual mod-cons you could possibly need – the views of the Eiffel Tower aren't bad either.

Home truths:
*At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
*In the 15th district you do have to depend on public transport to reach a lot of the main tourist attractions – however, you're only a three-minute walk from the nearest metro station
*This is a self-check-in home with building staff
*There isn't air conditioning here, and some guests felt the apartment got too warm on hot summer days
