La Vertu

La Vertu: Île-de-France

Nestled within the buzzing Haute Marais, this studio apartment may not appear much on first glance, yet it's a home that shines for its additional services. Some of its virtues include a home smartphone with unlimited 4G to use during your trip, delivered breakfasts, as well as access to a private sauna and co-working spaces. With its simple modern look, this home reminds us of a stylish business hotel and offers a similar range of services. A single traveller looking for a work base in the city with some optional extras will find it a great fit.

Home truths:
* It's undoubtedly compact and has more of a hotel vibe

* It's a studio apartment with no proper lounge space and the kitchenette is on the basic side

* It overlooks a small internal courtyard so don't expect any views

* There is no air conditioning in this home
