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.
