Paris City Pad

This compact but carefully finished apartment is in the heart of the 8th arrondissement, with George V metro just a one-minute walk away – putting the whole of Paris at arm's reach. The marble bathroom brings a spa-like calm to the space, and a washer-dryer means you can travel light. Pets are welcome, self check-in keeps things flexible, and a Jardin des Tuileries wander or a twenty-two-minute walk to the Eiffel Tower makes for an easy afternoon whatever your pace.

Home truths:
* This home is only available to those studying or travelling for work – you’ll need to provide proof from your university or employer.
* Well-behaved pets are welcome to accompany you during your stay.
* 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.
* If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a travel cot – request it in advance to make sure it's set up on arrival.
* At 30 square metres, this is a compact apartment – ideal for two guests travelling light, but tight if you're planning a longer stay with large bags.
* The lift stops at the half-landing between floors, so you'll need to walk down a short flight of stairs to reach the apartment.
* While this home can accommodate two additional guests on the sofa bed, the maximum occupancy is two guests.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
