La Favorite

La Favorite: Île-de-France

Steeped in history, La Favourite is located in the old convent of Saint Marie. The style and decoration call on the origins of the building, with duck egg blue walls, pastel hues and gorgeous antiques alongside all the usual mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay in the city of love. You'll have a real restful night's sleep here in the soothing bedroom, after a relaxing soak in the rainfall shower and contemporary metro-tiled bathroom. A word of caution for those wanting to cook, the kitchen is more of a kitchenette, so the home would be more suited for those guests who enjoy eating out. Luckily, we hear the food's pretty good in Paris. In fact, you're beautifully placed for dining in style, as there's a dazzling array of fine-dining restaurants and authentic eateries in the Saint Germain district. You're also a fourteen-minute stroll from the Louvre, in case you're in need of a culture fix – although, at this characterful home, we don't think you will be.

Home truths:
*At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, however, we think the space is better suited to a couple
*The home is on the first floor of a building with no lift access, so you will have to climb some steps
*There are no keys as there is a code system to access the apartment
*There is very little fridge space, but enough room to store a bottle of champagne
*The kitchenette is rather basic and best suited for knocking up lite bites
*There is no air conditioning in this flat
