This cosy apartment is in Paris’ 15th Arrondissement, less than ten minutes’ walk from the Eiffel Tower. In fact, you can spot the Iron Lady as soon as you turn the corner of your boulevard. How’s that for a welcome to Paris? A renovated shop, the apartment is at street level, but frosted windows afford some privacy in the living room while letting the light in. The full kitchen is in a separate space, ideal when the sofa bed is in use. You’ll find the bedroom in the basement where a lack of windows would suit those who like it truly dark to sleep.

Home truths:
*The living room features frosted windows for privacy, but this does mean there is no view to speak of. The basement bedroom doesn't have any windows.
*The bedroom is downstairs, so this place may not suit those with limited mobility.
*At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living room.
*There is no private parking with this home, but in central Paris having a car is not necessary.
