Description Avenue of Tranquility: Paris

Light, bright and homely, this Parisian pad ticks a lot of holiday boxes for us. Effortlessly blending old and new, we love the period features in this home that nestle happily alongside modern furnishings. Avid readers will adore the packed bookshelves in the living room, while the balcony – which stretches the full length of the apartment – is sure to be a hit with all. The contemporary kitchen is a match for any budding chef – although with French eateries lining the streets below, dining out on authentic cuisine has to be on the menu.

Home truths:
*While the home can sleep up to four people, the maximum occupancy is three guests.
*While babies are welcome, this home isn't suitable for toddlers or children.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Guests have access to all areas of the home, apart from one room in which the owner stores their personal belongings.
*Your host asks that you respect quiet hours between 7pm and 10am and keep noise to a minimum.
