The Illustrator: Île-de-France

Right in the heart of the historic centre of Paris, this modern apartment offers a lucky couple the opportunity to visit many of Paris' sights on foot. A fresh and bright home, don't be fooled by its overall cool minimalist look, as your experienced host has prepared a home that is anything but basic – it's extremely well equipped, right down to the last detail.

Home truths:
* The bedroom is narrow so there's not much space on either side of the bed

* Bathtub-lovers beware – there isn't one here, but there is a large shower instead

* There is no air-conditioning fortunately fans can be provided

*There is also a sofa-bed in the living room, so each guest can enjoy his own bed

*You can expect some street noise with the windows open in this home
