When you're travelling alone or as part of a duo, there are far too many one-bedroom or studio apartments that offer cramped or subpar lounges or kitchens. However, this home – in the centre of Nantes, no less – is ideal for those who refuse to compromise when it comes to their living quarters.

Not only is there a generous amount of room behind the front door, but whoever was in charge of the design clearly has impeccable taste. The stark white walls covered in artwork, vintage furnishings and digital piano lend the creative feel of an artists' studio, while the sleek black kitchen will please those with culinary talents. We're also fond of the pair of Juliet balconies, which offer opportunities for a spot of people-watching down below.

Perhaps best of all, the bulk of Nantes' top attractions lie within walking distance from the home, from the peaceful île de Versailles five minutes' walk north to the charming old town that sits even closer. There's no end of restaurants, cafes and markets waiting to be discovered close by, too.

This delightful home stands out from the crowd. It’s a unique and stylish apartment, spread over two floors, with the ground floor arranged around a patio. The kitchen, living room and master suite all have direct access to this charming suntrap, which is a real haven in the heart of the city. 

In the morning, you’ll wake up to sunbeams on your pillow. Step outside to sip your coffee in the peace of the patio, before indulging in a luxurious bath in the master en-suite – or perhaps you’ll start the day beneath the Italian rain shower? Fine finishes and elegant touches abound in this home, where contemporary decor meets with the historic charm of Nantes. 

Cooking breakfast in the open kitchen is a delight, with everything you might need is close to hand. Dine together at the oh-so-chic industrial-style dining table. Later on, you might get competitive playing table tennis, or maybe you prefer a more sedate pace? Curl up in an armchair with a book from the library – there’s no shortage of comfy corners here. 

The apartment is ideally located for exploring Nantes, with the botanical gardens just down the street. The cathedral is a short walk away, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby – as ever in France, you’re never far from your next delicious meal here.

We love the natural light in this fun apartment near the centre of Nantes. On the third floor of a typical period building, it's in a great spot on a popular shopping street at the foot of Pommeraye Passage. Whether you're here for business or pleasure, and whether you're a solo traveller or a small family, it's sweet, sophisticated and we think it's pretty stylish.

Small but perfectly formed, its open living space is partly divided with a handy kitchenette, a sofa and a dining table that could double as a desk if you'll be working during your stay. There's a calm and quiet main bedroom, a shower room and a special extra space up the open ladder stairs in the living room – a mezzanine that could easily sleep a third guest. Facing a courtyard, it's an oasis of calm that we think you'll love.
