CHARMING APARTMENT 6 PERS EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION

Location was excellent - in the center of things. Fun to stay in such a unique old apartment. We did have some trouble with the electricity and hot water going out (tripped circuit breaker) during the stay.

The location was great. We loved the apartment. Laurence was great to work with and was very helpful in helping us to prepare for our trip. It would be helpful if more information was provided about parking off the premises. Also, it would have been helpful if the property manager was more fluent in English, but I will readily admit I should have been better able to speak French. I want to emphasize that it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay at the apartment again.

A wonderful location in the old city. Just a short walk from the Palais des Papes and other attractions. Plenty of room for our family of five.

Maison Theodore Aubanel, once the home of the famous Provencale poet Theodore Aubanel was also once the printing and publishing house founded by his grandfather. Today few print and publishing artifacts remain; two large print machines greet one upon entry to the courtyard behind two magnificently heavy solid doors. Maison Aubanel sits quietly in the shadows of The Palais du Papes, and I am inspired by gothic structure all around and reminded of the incredible life Avignon has seen through the Middle Ages and its love of the Arts. I watch the movement of the Sun as she casts her daily shadows upon the looming fortress, the towering tour de la campagne beyond my window, and I imagine what life must have been like for the Papacy. Aubanel is a quiet thinking ground, tucked away behind Place St Pierre, elegant and refined with all that one needs. It is surrounded by the best restaurants from La Mirande to LEpicerie and a short walk to Les Halles market on Saturday mornings where the best local produce is fought over by top chefs in the region. I have everything i will ever need here at Aubanel, and once again I take my pen and sit to write about all that which must not be forgotten. Maison Aubanel is unforgettable too, and Laurence and Christine the housekeeper we so welcoming and are two of the nicest people you will ever meet, ready to help you in any way and make you feel at home in your own private fortress. I cannot wait to return. Magnifique!
