Gold Dust

Gold Dust: Île-de-France

Conveniently located next to the Palais de Tokyo, which also hosts Paris' Museum of Modern Art, this two-bedroom apartment mirrors this theme with its sleek modern interiors. A few classic pieces have also been incorporated, creating an eclectic yet harmonious look. Tall windows let in all the light and offer a tranquil river view, while the new (and spotless) kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. Two couples or a small family looking for a clutter-free space will feel right at home in this stylish apartment that still feels very homely.

Home truths:
* The interiors are more on the minimalist side, particularly the bedrooms and bathroom, which might seem cold to some

* It's very close to the Seine where there is a fairly busy road - with the windows open you should expect some traffic noise

* It's not a biggie but we found that in the bedrooms the plugs are not within easy reach of the bedsides
