Avenue Charm

For easy exploration of Paris, this modern and central apartment is just the ticket. There are restaurants, cafés and patisseries in the area, and you can walk to the Opera, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe in twenty minutes. There's also a metro stop a few minutes away to transport you to the city's other iconic sights. For extra convenience, ask your host to arrange a chauffeur from the airport. Step inside and you'll find an open plan kitchen and living space with a dining table – perfect for gathering over a Parisian breakfast of croissants and café au lait, or even doubling up as a desk to catch up on work.

Home truths:
*Though there's enough bed space for six adults here, we think it might feel a little cramped in the living room. We'd recommend a maximum guest count of four.
*There are a few steps to reach the lift, so it might not be suited to those with reduced mobility.
*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.
*It's worth noting that the mattresses here are on the firmer side, so not everyone might find them comfortable.
*As is common in France, the toilet is separate from the bathroom.
*This home is equipped with a sensor that monitors decibel levels – it doesn't record audio, though.
*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.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
