If you're after a bit of style and substance, this one-bed in Paris may be for you. It's within walking distance to the Louvre, Palais-Royal, and the Seine, making it a sightseers' haven. That said, if you're in town on business, it makes a strong choice, too. There are two workplaces in this apartment – one in the bedroom and another separate desk setup. And, with lots of charming, homey quirks to add character, the property certainly made an impression on us. Do take note, however, this duplex has a narrow staircase to the upper level where the bedroom and bathroom are, so it's not the most accessibility-friendly.

Home truths:
*The bedroom is accessed via a narrow, winding stair, so it may be a challenge if you're travelling with large luggage or are less mobile.
*There is no air conditioning here, so expect it to be hot during the warmer months.
*Check-in is only available until 8pm.
