We stayed at Avril’s apartment for 4 nights to visit Paris and celebrate our anniversary. This is a perfect place if you want to be in the center of museums and nice cafes! Also a good place where other areas of Paris are not too far away. Walking distance to the various gardens in Paris and Steps from Le Marais, the Pompidou Museum is a ten minute walk and within that way you automatically experience a vibrant are replete with Paris is a big and busy city, I found this apartment excellent for getting the much needed rest to revive and go at it again the next day. One thing I really liked about Avril’s place was her allowing us to entertain a small/ reasonable amount of guests - I had invited my cousin who happened to be in Paris for school. It was nice to sit around the big kitchen table have some tea/sparkling water and catch up.
Another thing I liked was her excellent French book collection, she had some ice touches to personalize the space as well as books on France, art and culture. I felt a little privileged to be staying there.
The space was big that it reminded me of a big Loft like home with minimal and basic necessities and a few luxuries as well.
Every room has windows and the wonderful terrace which we had wine and sat in the sun. I loved it.
The apt was on RUE Turbino, which is not a very loud street maybe moderate to low, and the inner bedroom faces an inner court and is basically very quiet, in the evenings. This made staying there very pleasant because one can get a good nights sleep and not worry about the noise.
All in all I would recommend this space for those that like space and may have another person with them. It’s a good place to relax, rejuvenate and start the next day again.
The triple window sections in the living room are great, the apartment can get a lot of sunlight.
The kitchen has the utensils and necessary plates, cups and dish ware.
The bathroom has all the amenities and very clean. Also, the washing machine and dryer is a nice add on for doing your laundry before you go back home.
She also has a nice speaker Bluetooth in case you want to hear music.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to stay in Paris as an alternative to hotels. You will be quite please with this place.
