Description Pestalozzi Pizzazz: Paris

Cosy and comfortable, this apartment in Paris' Latin Quarter is a fuss-free option for couples. It's set on the ground level, meaning you'll have a private entrance and a living area filled with light – though the windows do look straight onto the street. The sofa bed keeps sleeping arrangements flexible, but we think it's best for two as the only bathroom here is en-suite. Location-wise, you're just steps from shops, restaurants, and the metro, while Luxembourg Gardens, the bohemian bookstores in the Latin Quarter, and many other landmarks are just a short walk away.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area. As the only bathroom here is en-suite to the main bedroom, we think it's best for two.
*Your host can provide a travel cot on request if you're travelling with little ones.
*This apartment is set on the street level. You're likely to hear noise and feel slightly overlooked as the windows in the living area directly face the street.
*The kitchen is compact – it's better suited to rustling up lighter fare rather than large meals.
