Funktown

Funktown: Île-de-France

Located in the heart of the Latin Quarter, you'll have plenty of local sights to visit such as the Botanical Garden or the Panthéon. A one-bedroom apartment that's been recently renovated, it still has that fresh out of the box feel that we love. There's nothing extravagant about its style but a few pieces bestow the home with an original personality – our personal favourites are the pair of retro armchairs and bold yellow bathroom. It's important to note though that the bedroom is very small - perhaps not for those who prefer sprawling sleeping quarters.

Home truths:
* Two additional guests may use the sofa-bed in the living room but the home will feel rather cramped

* It's on the second with no lift access so pack light and get ready to climb

* As mentioned, the bedroom is very compact

* There is no air-conditioning
