SPECIAL APARTMENTS

04/11/10

This email is just a thank-you letter to tell you (and your team) how much we enjoyed our stay in Paris and living in the apartment we rented.  We are now back in Australia, and have so many stories to tell and have photographs by the dozen.  We have also told people about the apartment and how easy it is to rent and be assisted to stay there.  Next time we come to Paris (we think this may be in May 2012), we will want to stay with your firm – and maybe in a different area, so we can experience more of Paris life.

Thank-you all once again,

Terrence and Jonathan

We’ve just photographed three of our apartments again!

We photographed Reference #039, because we had the 50′ vintage armchair re-upholstered in a beautiful turquoise wool fabric and put up some new photographic artwork in the bedroom. Its a great apartment in a very popular area with the fashion/art crowd and there is a great food market just around the corner.

We hadn’t had a chance to take proper photos of the apartment reference #028 that we renovated recently, because it has been fully-booked since we started renting it out a few months ago. The photos that we had, showed the apartment before it was completely finished. There is still some artwork to go there and a chair for the desk, which are all arriving in the next few days. We will keep you posted.

At Reference #004, in the Marais area of Paris, we recently added a new very good sofa-bed from Steiner. It has a good mattress, unlike many sofa-beds. We also changed the table and chairs (Bertoia) and put some new photographic artwork on the walls. We hope you like it!

One of our guests who stayed with us recently was tempted by the idea of acquiring her own apartment in Paris. She has found an apartment in the Marais and asked us to check it out and maybe help her out with the administrative side, with a view to managing the apartment. So at 1:30 today Régis and John have an appointment with the real estate agent to look at the apartment and see if it is suitable for us to take on.

Régis, John & Hugh have just come back from a new apartment that we ‘ve taken on, on the rue Saint Sauveur in the Montorgueil neighbourhood. It is in a building that once belonged to Colbert, who was Louis XIV’s finance minister, before he occupied that post and while he was working as the secretary to Cardinal Mazarin in the 17th century.

There is a beautiful courtyard with trees and it is extremely quiet. You can see it as it is now by following the following link

REFINED AND PEACEFUL ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT IN THE MONTORGUEIL AREA OF PARIS (SLEEPS UP TO FOUR GUESTS)
REF; #008

Today we put some beautiful paintings, new lights, candlesticks, silver bowls, new cushions and decorative objects. We will also be changing the dining table and chairs and probably add a French bedhead in the bedroom.

We will keep you posted as soon as its finished and we’ve taken some new pics.
