See our guest comments below! This light-filled, two-bedroom, two-bath apartment is perfectly located near the historic Place des Vosges. We completed an extensive renovation in December, 2006, and everything - from floor to ceiling and every point in between - has been thoroughly updated to a very high standard.
Tournelles2 pairs wonderful modern design with classic features reflecting the building's XIX century roots, and succeeds in being both elegant and comfortable. The apartment's parquet floors, high ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful moldings are lit by fabulous and fun chandeliers in the entry, kitchen, and living areas, and warmed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling draperies.
Tournelles2 has a wonderful layout (see photos below), with well thought out public and private areas. The light streams in from two sides through tall French windows, highlighting the openness of the sleek and well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining area, and inviting living room. Classic modern furniture is balanced by original fabrics and colorful art work. And, when night falls, the lovely lighting and furnishings provide incentive to dine in - even though the area’s many wonderful cafes and restaurants will beckon.
The two well-appointed bedrooms, each with very comfortable queen-sized beds and en suite modern bathrooms, are at opposite ends of the apartment, ensuring privacy. One bedroom is a bit larger than the other, but they are equally comfortable, with good closets and shelving, bed-side reading lights, high quality bed linens, and ample pillows. The smaller bedroom has a split en suite bathroom; its large shower has a luxurious rain shower head, while the adjacent toilet shares space with the washer/dryer. The other en suite bath has a full bathtub with an overhead shower and glass partition, as well as a modern sink and tiled counter. Both bathrooms have heated towel racks and are well-lit.
Tournelles2 is on the first floor French (second floor American), easily accessible by a wide and gently curved staircase. It, of course, comes with every amenity - flat screen TV with cable, DVD, phone with free calling to 28 countries, washer/dryer, free WiFi, heated towel racks, etc. We have also equipped Tournelles2 with a laptop computer so you do not have to lug yours along, and a cell phone for your use while staying at the apartment.
In addition, the apartment comes with its own off-site host, a wonderful and knowledgeable Parisian fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. In addition to making sure Apartment Tournelles2 is ready for your arrival with fresh flowers, coffee, a bottle of wine, water, milk and other staples, our Parisian host can assist you with any questions about the apartment.
Tournelles2 is in the midst of the Marais, one of Paris's most historic, most beautiful, and most desirable neighborhoods. From French history to French chic, the Marais has it all. The Marais is also a gourmet's delight—the apartment is near several of Paris’ best open air markets and specialty food stores, and within easy walking of a wide range of dining choices. To help you get acquainted, Apartment Tournelles2 is equipped with numerous guidebooks and maps, as well as information on our favorite places to shop, eat, and sight see in the neighborhood. We provide a complete binder with directions on how to use all of the appliances, lots of neighborhood resources, and general Paris information.
While it is easy to spend all your time in the Marais, many other Paris attractions, including the Louvre, the Seine, Notre Dame, and the Left Bank are within walking distance of Apartment Tournelles2. And, when you are ready to get off your feet, several Metro stops are conveniently nearby (Chemin Vert is barely a block away, and Bastille, at which three lines connect, is less than a five-minute walk).
The all-inclusive weekly rental fee covers high quality linens and towels, and one cleaning. While weekly rentals are preferred, don't hesitate to ask us about rates for shorter or longer stays. No smoking or pets are allowed.
Tournelles2 can be rented in conjunction with Tournelles1 (VRBO #103594), an adjacent and equally fabulous 2 BR/2BA apartment. |
