About this property

Highest rated 2 BR/2 BA apt near Place Des Vosges

This beautifully renovated Marais apartment is perfectly located in the 3rd arrondissement, just three blocks from both the Place des Vosges and the Picasso Museum, Apartment Tournelles1 is in a lovely and well maintained XIX century building. Everything in this apartment has been updated, from the plumbing and electrical to the tasteful furnishings and decor.

Unusual to Paris, Apartment Tournelles1 features two equally well-appointed bedrooms, each with comfortable queen-sized beds and en suite modern bathrooms! The well-thought out layout of Apartment Tournelles1 maximizes the living spaces and, for privacy creates excellent separation between the bedrooms (see the layout photo below). We have decorated Tournelles1 with the perfect combination of style and comfort, and equipped it with many thoughtful touches, including good reading lights, hair dryers in both bathrooms, etc. Read what prior renters have said about our apartment!

Apartment features: In addition to the 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, Apartment Tournelles1 features a separate tiled kitchen with modern appliances, and a light and airy living/dining room. While the many neighborhood restaurants and wine bars will beckon, the well-furnished kitchen also invites you to bring provisions home from the nearby open-air markets and wonderful food stores.

Unwind on the comfortable leather couch in the living/dining room after a day of exploring the Marais and surrounding neighborhoods. High ceilings, tall windows, original moldings and wood floors, a black crystal chandelier, stylish furnishings, and a quiet street below--this wonderful vacation retreat has all the ambiance of old Paris combined with the best modern comforts and conveniences.

Some of the amenities: The apartment is on the first floor French (second floor American), easily accessible by a wide and gently curved staircase. It of course comes with many amenities---flat screen TV with cable, phone with free calling to 28 countries, washer/dryer, free WIFI, heated towel racks, etc.

In addition, our Parisian manager, who is fluent in English, will make sure Apartment Tournelles1 is beautifully cleaned and ready for your arrival. She can assist you in emergencies, and will check the apartment's condition after you leave. We (the owners) come at least twice a year and make sure the apartment stays in tip-top shape.

The Neighborhood: Le Marais: Tournelles1, and its adjacent sister apartment Tournelles2, are 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. To help you get acquainted, Apartment Tournelles1 is equipped with numerous guidebooks and maps, as well as information on our favorite places to shop, eat, and sight see in the neighborhood. Also, 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 in easy walking distance of Apartment Tournelles1. And, when you're ready to get off your feet, several Metro stops are conveniently nearby (Chemin Vert is less than a block away, and Bastille is less than a five minute walk).

Fantastic first trip to Paris!

The flat was perfect for our first trip to Paris. It had everything we needed and the location was great as it offered dining and shopping options within walking distance as well as two metro stations that got us everywhere we wanted to go in the city. We enjoyed the space immensely and the hosts were responsive and accommodating from reservation to checkout.

Wonderful stay in the Marais

The entire experience was tiptop, from the arrival to the condition and location of the apartment, to the clarity of arrival and departure instructions provided, it was a very comfortable and easy arrangement. The separate bedrooms with their own en suite baths provided ample privacy in a compact setting. Would certainly stay there again if we have the opportunity. Very highly recommend the spot and its owners!

Perfect Paris location

This was a charming apartment and close to Metro stations that got us everywhere. The local crowd was friendly and my son and his fiancé spent some time at the local pubs enjoying the music. The apartment is all you could want, plenty of space. Two bathrooms which was wonderful. The charm and the helpfulness of the host to allow us to leave our bags early I can’t say how wonderful it was

Excellent location and apartment

We had a great time in Paris starting with are wonderful apartment. The location was great. It had all the amenities we needed. Very charming in an old building. The area had excellent restaurant options. We all loved Chez Janou! The metro was only a block away. The only negative was the wireless network being very weak. Would recommend this apartment to anyone.

We rented this apartment for a month and we LOVED it. It was so comfortable and quickly felt like home. The layout of the apartment and bathrooms afforded us maximum privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location put Le Marais at our doorstep and was centrally located so it was easy to get around Paris. The apartment was everything we had hoped for and more. It helped make our stay in Paris perfect.

Fantastic location and well appointed apartment

We stayed at this apartment in late June 2016 and it was perfect for our needs. The location was amazing, we walked everywhere that we wanted to visit. And just wandering around Le Marais, finding a great little café and having a glass of wine and people watching was one of our favourite past times. The manager was very helpful, checking in with us to ensure we could work everything and if we had any questions. I would highly recommend this apartment. Trina

Our New year’s Week in Paris

The three of us, my husband, me and our good friend enjoyed our visit very much. We were advised in advance that long-planned repairs on the building had begun so the building was wrapped in scaffolding, cloth, and workman, and offered a refund if desired. We decided to stay. Because of the wrapping around each window we couldn’t fully appreciate the light but the layout afforded us both privacy and plenty of room to plan and relax. The kitchen is generous and nicely supplied. There is a wonderful bakery, coffee shop, and at least four restaurants within 5 minutes as well as several metro and bus stops. I think you’ll enjoy your stay!

A wonderful experience living day-to-day in a vital Paris neighborhood

We just spent a wonderful week introducing our 14 year old grand-daughter to Paris. The apartment was just as described and served us well with two bedrooms and baths, a well-equipped kitchen, and room to relax in a living-dining room. It was wonderful to be able to go out to our favorite boulangeries and pick up breakfast treats each morning and we enjoyed the ease of going to several small and casual neighborhood restaurants after a busy day of sight-seeing. Cathy and Amele provided excellent communication and we felt comfortable knowing that any questions could be answered promptly. The notebook of helpful information and library of travel books was also a bonus!

Sensational apartment in the Marais district

I enjoyed my stay in this apartment very much and will be a repeat customer in the future. The initial handover was informative and complete, Amele explained each of the appliances clearly and left her contact details just in case. The location of the apartment in the Marais district couldn’t be better. Within a 5-minute walk there were at least 4 bakeries (for that early-morning baguette), the Chemin Vert Metro station, bus stops for 4-5 different bus lines and taxi stands if you needed one. Within a 10-minute walk, I’m guessing now, but somewhere between 30-40 bistros, we tried many of them and couldn’t find a bad one. Also, within this range was the Breguet Sabin Metro station, the Bastille Metro station and on Thursday and Sunday, the fantastic Bastille Market where you can buy all kinds of fresh food. We were very comfortable during our stay here and a little sad to leave because after 4 weeks, we felt almost French in this home away from home. I heartily recommend this property.

Disappointing

Pros: Great location Comfortable beds Well stocked kitchen Easy check-in Cons: Not as advertised! Maybe apt. was once charming & well appointed. Now it is run down, in need of refurbishing, a paint job, and a deep cleaning. Bathroom walls, & ceiling have mold. Bureau In primary bedroom is unusable; drawers fall out when you open. Dining chair cushions are torn. Bed linen, duvet covers and towels are stained even after washing! Additionally, when beds were stripped for check-out (requested by host) I found mattress covers in state of disintegration. To add insult to injury, we arrived to find the building undergoing a major common space renovation, of which we had been given no prior warning. Floors in the vestibule and throughout the building were covered in paper and plastic, walls were in process of being painted and sanded, and workmen were in and out of the building, leaving the interior entrance door ajar most of the time. (Security concern). There was the pervasive odor of fresh paint and sanding produced fine dust that seeped into apt. We were extremely disappointed that the hosts did not communicate about this work, given its scope and potential inconvenience and health hazard to some. Giving us a heads up — even on short notice — would have enabled us to decide for ourselves whether we wanted to be subjected to this disruption, mess, and hazard during our weeklong vacation in Paris.

Incredible!

This is an amazing and authentic Parisian apartment in a great location. The two bedrooms with two separate baths were perfect for my wife and I and our teenage daughters. The living room is spacious and a great place to hang out, regroup from a day of touring, and simply watch the world go by on the quiet street outside. There is a terrific cafe, boulangerie, and coffee shop on the same block and you're only steps away from hundreds more in Le Marais and the Bastille area. Transportation options are terrific, the Chemin Vert metro station is just around the corner which will take you to the Eiffel Tower with no changes or Montmarte with only one change. A quick walk down to the Bastille station will put you on the Metro 1 line which goes by the Louvre and up to the Arc de Triomphe. Walking to the main tourist sites is also easy, and we did a lot of wandering all over Paris simply taking it all in. Check in and out was flawless, the owner was great in communicating ahead of time, and there is an onsite manager in Paris if you need anything. I wish we could have stayed longer, will definitely be back!

A very good experince overall

The property is in a great location only a few steps to the metro (line 8) yhere is no shortage of fine restaurants, patisseries and cafes in the area. The unit is very nice with all amenities needed for a comfortable stay. It could use 4 firmer pillows as an option to the very soft pillows. The unit is a bit noisy with one bedroom right at the stairs so we were easily woken up by late night residents. One other issue that was inconvenient. One morning I went down to get coffee and croissont and found the front door locked and broken so I could not get out. There was an agitated homeless person trying to get out as well. Obviously she had found her way in through the night and couldnt get out. It took me an hour to get a passerby from the outside to get us put. This is a security issue. If that didnt happen, I would rate this unit a 4+

About the host

Hosted by Cathy & Pam

Host profile image
Two San Francisco families own this beautiful apartment and its adjacent 'sister' and we manage it ourselves with the help in Paris of a close friend. We traveled to Paris in the winter of 2006 to research buying property, and came home 10 days later as Paris apartment owners. Our dream is to live in Paris, and having these apartments get us one step closer to that. We renovated, decorated, and equipped these apartments based on our prior experiences with vacation rentals in the US and Europe, and hope that you will enjoy all of the amenities and small touches that we have provided. We travel to Paris as often as we can to make sure the apartments stay in top shape. Our goal is to give you a wonderful place to stay, and have you love Paris as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love the Marais...it is central to everything, yet retains a neighborhood feel. We love walking out the door and being steps away from fabulous bakeries, restaurants, museums, and great shopping. Paris is a great walking city, and our apartment provides easy access to so much of it. We also love the location because the Paris Metro (subway system) is so close and so easy to use. We also love the Marais because of its history and diversity...from the elegant Place des Vosges to rue des Rosiers' Jewish delis to rue des Archives' gay friendly bars and stores---everyone can feel at home in the Marais.

What makes this property unique

Some of our favorite things to do revolve around cooking and eating! We love being just across the street from the twice-weekly Bastille farmers market, and within easy walking distance to two other historic markets on rue des Bretagnes and at Place d'Aligre. And we can never stay at our place and not stop for a meal at Chez Janou, a block away, making sure we save room for their incredible bowl of chocolate mousse! We also love that a short walk takes us to and across the Seine, to Notre Dame and the Left Bank, and never get tired of window shopping along rue des Francs Bourgeois' chic boutiques,or walking under Place des Vosges' magnificent arches. Since we bought the apartments, the 'upper' Marais has also evolved, and now has its own chic boutiques, restaurants, and bakeries. We are fortunate to be in the middle of all the best Paris has to offer, while retaining its neighborhood feel.

Our other favorite past time is exploring Paris' various neighborhoods or arrondisements. The fact that we're so close to the 2nd, 4th, 10th, 11th, and 12th facilitates our 'expeditions.' As in our home city, San Francisco, it is the neighborhoods away from the tourist areas that give one a great perspective on the city and its people---and, just like San Francisco, the best food at the best prices are found in the neighborhoods!
