A picture-perfect location, this one-bedroom apartment over two floors is situated on Paris' coveted Île Saint Louis in a 16th-century building. Suited to a couple after a quiet home in a central location, Île Saint Louis is a village in the capital with quaint bistros and cafés, grocers and niche art galleries - and there are no buses or tube stations. Just below the apartment is a delicious bakery that could come in handy for fresh croissants - be sure to enjoy them on the rooftop terrace overlooking Parisian rooftops and Notre Dame's bell tower.

Home truths:
*The apartment is located on the 3rd floor with lift access
*The home is spread over two floors and it is lived in so you may find some of the owner's possessions in cupboards and wardrobes
*The property does not accept any children and is only suitable for couples
*Guests should take care with the white painted steps inside the home, they can be difficult to see
*Your host provides a starter supply of coffee and tea, but you might want to bring your own to top this up
*It's worth noting that the bed linen here isn't particularly plush, so not everyone might find them comfortable
