If your Parisian dreams involve a jaw-dropping vista of the Eiffel Tower then you've come to the right place – because this home has a view that's to die for. Imagine waking up and stepping out onto the private balcony to enjoy fresh coffee and croissants in the morning sun as you gaze across the rooftops at one of the most iconic buildings in the world. This is also the perfect spot to relax after dark with a glass of pinot noir – they don't call it the city of lights for nothing. Inside, the home is compact yet chic, as many Parisian apartments are, and we particularly liked the see-through dining furniture that adds a playful touch to the space. Cross the river, and you'll arrive at the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in around fifteen minutes, and the Arc de Triomphe in around twenty. There's also plenty for art lovers to see nearby – the Palais Galliera and Paris Museum of Modern Art are less than ten minutes away on foot.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a travel cot if you're taking along a little one
*There are quiet hours between 10pm and 8am here
*This is not a large home – the only bed is a sofa bed in the living area
