Description A Gentle Light: Paris

Light pours into this Parisian apartment – it's the kind of space that makes an evening in feel as appealing as heading out. The dining area is ideal for families, so it works just as well for a group gathering around the table as for a solo trip with a laptop and good coffee. Step outside and the city's most iconic addresses are on your doorstep – the Arc de Triomphe is around ten-minutes on foot, while the Champs-Élysées and the Eiffel Tower are both within walking distance.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* The apartment looks onto an interior courtyard rather than the street, which keeps things quiet – though a few guests note it gives the space an enclosed feel rather than an open outlook.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and a high chair. Request these in advance to make sure they're ready on arrival.
