Velveteen

Nestled between the Eiffel Tower and the swanky Invalides neighbourhood lies this ultra-stylish ground floor apartment. You'll find it in a quiet courtyard, set within a charming red brick building where flower boxes hang from balconies. With plush velvet furnishings, bold colour schemes and sleek brass finishings, this trendy pad is where mid-century meets Art Deco. It's super roomy – there are ample-sized bedrooms and an open-plan living area, so you won't be tight on space. Whether you're munching on breakfast around the dining table or resting weary legs on the cosy sofas, you'll love calling this place home during your stay in Paris. Plus, the location could not be better. The Eiffel Tower is a fifteen-minute walk, the Champ de Mars is reachable in ten and Les Invalides is just around the corner. Foodies will love wining and dining at the markets and restaurants on Rue Cler, just a four-minute walk away. On the other side of the river is the Louvre, which you can reach in thirty minutes. Or just hop on the metro at La Tour-Maubourg and get whisked around the city with ease.

Home truths:
* Two additional guests may use the double sofa-bed in the living room but it will be at the expense of lounge seating
* This home is on the ground floor and the windows overlook the communal courtyard – it’s a great option for those with limited mobility
*As it’s on the ground floor, there’s not heaps of natural light but with so many landmarks nearby, you’ll probably use this flat as more of a base for exploring
* There is air-conditioning but only in the living space
*There might be building works happening in the area – if that’s a concern, please check with the host about nearby construction when booking
