Set in Paris’ chic 8th arrondissement, this apartment is well-placed for sightseeing and shopping. The Opera Garnier, Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Élysées are no more than a twenty-minute walk away. Plus, you’re two minutes from the Saint-Lazare train station for trips outside the city. There isn’t an oven in the kitchen, though we think you’ll eat out most of the time anyway. Our favourite feature here was the private terrace – it’s the ideal spot to start the day with a croissant and a coffee.

Home truths:
*At capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
