With Notre Dame in one direction and the Louvre in the other, you won't find a location in Paris better than this. Housed in a listed building dating back to 1860, the apartment's original features are impressive, though as you'd expect with a home of this heritage, there are a few quirks. Two bedrooms are adjoined with a glass door partition – great for a small family sharing, but it won't suit everyone. It's also worth noting the last two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the lounge. But we're happy to let that slide for such a stylish, elegant home with a knockout location.

Home truths:
*This home is located within an apartment building, with a shared entrance and lift access. The building's caretaker lives on-site.
*You’ll check yourself in with the lockbox and code.
*A cot and high chair are available upon request.
*One bedroom does not have air conditioning. There’s also limited floor and wardrobe space in some rooms – we’d recommend packing lightly.
*Two of the bedrooms are adjoined by a glass door partition and curtains, so they aren't the most private spaces.
*Your host politely asks you to respect the neighbours and keep noise to a minimum.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*This home could do with a few more essentials, such as a broom and dish towels.
