Lovely apartment in vile d’avray
We have been to Paris several times and decided this time to try an apartment outside of the city instead of the normal touristy hotels. We are so very glad we did. The place is very well done a beautiful spacious apartment in a historic home. The owners were very helpful. I should mention we did have a car so we did not have to try other transportation but it was perfect

Family Vacation
The size of this property is amazing and the terrace provides amazing views, including one of the top half of the Eiffel Tower day and night. My parents checked in with Xavier and Camille and I arrived shortly thereafter. We had no issues with them or the property, which was very clean and exactly as advertised. Taxis and Ubers were able to find the address. The beds were comfortable, especially compared to some other local options. The location is quiet and you cannot get anything with this much space to yourself near Paris. Xavier and Camille are wonderful hosts, providing everything you could imagine and taking care of minute details like lighting a candle for you each evening after dark. We are so appreciative of them sharing their home with us. To be clear, you have your own entrance and your own space. But you will be above their living space, so try to be considerate. Please note - this location is on a steep hill and reaching the space you are renting will require climbing stairs. There are around 40 up to your rented location once you get inside your entrance and you will haul your luggage and any purchases up and down those spiral stairs. We had no issues, but take your time. If your group is able to do stairs with ease, I highly recommend this property. The owners can set up a transfer to/from CDG airport. You will spend some money and time getting to/from Paris or Versailles, but this property - and the extreme hospitality of the owners - make it worth it.

Perfect mix of calmness and access to Paris
This is a spacious, modern, and private apartment occupying the third floor of a historic house on a quiet street in Ville-d'Avray, a close-in suburb of Paris between the Bois de Boulogne and Versailles. A nearby bus stop provides a short ride to the Pont de Sèvres #9 station of the Paris Metro. Tall windows and doors offer a view of the southern sections of Paris and even, to the left, a view of the Eiffel Tower, 11 km away. You can discern the nighttime illumination and hourly "glitter show." We were in the Paris area during a cooler time of year -- the apartment's electric heaters were more than adequate. The kitchen and bedrooms are large; separate rooms for a bathtub and for a shower are provided. The hosts have provided a "house book" with details you will need in both French and English. The neighborhood is a mix of ancient and modern buildings, all well maintained. A grocery store and boulangerie are close by, and we enjoyed the morning ritual of walking down the street to buy croissants to start our day. On a Tuesday, in the parking lot for Ville-d'Avray's historic church, we encountered the town's market day -- numerous stalls with beautiful produce, cheeses, and seafood. The tranquility of Ville-d'Avray so close to the bustle of Paris is a big plus. Our hosts, who live on the floors below, were both responsive and respectful of our privacy. Access to the apartment is up a short but steep street and the apartment is up three flights of stairs.

We enjoyed our stay here so very much!!! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed so warmly. Xavier and Camille were so accommodating and extremely kind to us. The home is very lovely and spacious. It truly had everything we needed and more. Plenty of linens, comfy beds, and really nice furnishings. We appreciated the artwork, too. :) We enjoyed every aspect of staying here and would definitely enjoy staying here again in the future. We appreciate the champagne left for us for our anniversary. It was such a kind gesture. The hosts are so generous and thoughtful. Probably the best VRBO hosts we’ve ever had!! Thanks again for a beautiful stay!!! -Sherrie and Greg

A tourist dream just outside of Paris
We arrived at the spacious, sunny apartment to find a small feast waiting for us. The cold water, cold AC, fresh baked goods, and assortment of snacks were much appreciated after a long day of travel. Xavier made sure we had everything we needed, assured us we could contact him if we needed anything, then left us to rest. It was great knowing that the owner of the property lived right below, but other than some supplies and some generous surprises left for us outside our door, you wouldn't know anyone was there. The apartment and surrounding town are like something out of a French novel, but with modern amenities! Large, beautiful, doors and windows, comfortable beds and couches, every kitchen amenity you could need, and a wonderful wraparound patio where you can see the tip of the Eiffel tower sparkle at night. The town is small and peaceful and has grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities within walking distance or a short bus trip. Getting to and from Paris is relatively simple. The apartment is about a 15-20 minute walk to the local train station. If you'd rather not walk, lots of other options can be found in meticulously prepared binder in the apartment. We have stayed at numerous properties over the years and Xavier and Camille are without a doubt the best hosts we’ve ever had. There will be no question where we stay when we return to France. Merçi Xavier et Camille!

Fabulous apartment and hosts - top rated
Such a wonderful apartment, location and hosts. Our family of four had a fantastic time using this apartment as a base for trips to Versailles, central Paris and to Rock en Seine in August. The apartment is well stocked with everything you could need, is immaculately presented, spotlessly clean, and the hosts are kind and generous with their communications and hospitality. Our 20 and 17 year old sons and my wife and I loved our rooms, the views from the terrace and the local market and shops. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. A family favourite.

Quality experience from start to finish
Many have previously mentioned the positives of this apartment and we can only concur. Were in Paris for the Olympics and this proved a great base given the excellent connectivity on trains and buses - we got to several venues easily. Some really good restaurants nearby and the village has all the amenities you need. The hosts were fabulous - we had a lot of contact discussing the various events and they were extremely generous to us. My wife has concluded we need to find something similar for ourselves we enjoyed the apartment so much ! Fabulous.

One of the best VRBOs we’ve ever stayed at!
First off, our hosts were amazing! They were accommodating, responsive, hospitable, and incredibly genuine! They were there for all of our needs, we’ll definitely be back!! The place…AMAZING!! It was exactly as the description said, and very accurate from the photos too. It was cozy, spacious, clean, and very quiet. When we come back to Paris, there isn’t a question of where we’ll stay. It’s about 27 min to Central Paris by Uber. The little town is wonderful, and has everything you need. It is with our highest recommendation that we recommend Xavier & Camille’s location in Ville-d’Avray. Thank you both again for the wonderful hospitality!

Lovely week just outside Paris
The apartment is beautiful, we enjoyed opening the patio doors and sitting outside. The kitchen had everything we needed + some lovely personal surprises throughout the stay. Xavier and Camille were attentive beyond our expectations, and when a member of our party fell ill, they called the pharmacist for us and even offered to take us to the doctor. We did not have a car and relied on the metro and bus. The Paris metro is not easy, pay attention to the regions and don't buy the wrong tickets. but it is quick and convenient. I wish I had not been so opposed to using Uber. When we did take an Uber or taxi it was only about 3X the cost of the metro tickets for all 4 of us, and especially at night it is much easier and quicker. We did a small load of laundry and, although they have both a washer and dryer, I was thrilled to use the hanging rack like I do at home. The beds are very comfortable, the linens plentiful and nice. I would love to stay here longer. The boulangerie/patisserie closest to the apartment had the best bread of our trip and we loved the sandwiches. We had a lovely meal at the restaurant just down the hill from the apartment that was recommended by Xavier. Don't miss Versailles. It really is amazing.

Terrific stay
Four of us stayed in the Branley apartment for two weeks, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute there. The apartment is beautiful and commodious with a large dining area on the balcony. We had many simple meals there after long days of sightseeing. When we arrived after our long overnight flight, Xavier and Camille had arranged for a driver to take us directly to the apartment. We were greeted by a wonderful basket of goodies, French bread and Croissants. They did everything to make our stay special and are wonderful hosts. Many of our days were spent in Paris, but we also enjoyed staying in Ville d'Avray. We walked around the lakes and forests, had drinks and appetizers at Les Estang de Corot, enjoyed shopping at the local outdoor market, bought gifts at the local chocolate shop, and had an exquisite last dinner on the terrace of L'Entracte. Abundant thanks to our hosts for all of their thoughtfulness. Anne

I’m not sure I have ever stayed in a property where the hosts have been as amazing as Xavier and Camille. The property is everything that they say it is, spacious and luxuriously appointed. The beds are sensational and the towels were soft and thirsty, with a fully appointed kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The private entrance provides a no fuss way to come and go. The location out of Paris takes about 40 minutes to arrive at by Metro, but the journey it so much part of the experience. 4 adults on this trip with ample space to relax, stretch out and chill. The local village is a 5 minute walk but we didn’t discover all of it, and the train station is a 15 minute walk. Uber was available if you preferred. We always look to stay in unique properties and this is close to top of the list. Book it, you won’t be disappointed.

Exceeded Expectations
Rarely do you see a picture of a property online and have your expectations exceeded in person. This was exactly the case with this property. From the moment we booked, our host, Xavier was quick to welcome us and provide detailed instructions for checking in. There was 6 of us staying at this spacious apartment and everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The bedrooms are large and Xavier offered to arrange the beds in doubles or large queen size prior to our arrival. The location is very close to Versailles if that is on your list to tour. Trains and bus were easy to navigate and Xavier left us tickets one day to use for travel into the city. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of this place after the excitement of a day in the city. The terrace/balcony is a wonderful place to enjoy evening dinner or morning coffee with a great view of the city in the distance. We also enjoyed watching wild parrots flying through the trees. Every detail was attended to with extra unexpected perks. I cant say enough about Xavier’s hospitality but I will mention the surprise we had one night to find a bottle of champagne on ice with flutes awaiting us at the door of our apartment. Thank you for an amazing time. We will definitely request your place when we come back. C’est MAGNIFIQUE!!!

I don’t think there is enough room to describe our stay. First of all, the hosts Xavier and Camille are the MOST accommodating and nice people you will meet. We were able to check in early and they even had breakfast waiting for us. Amazing. The apartment is amazing. It’s huge and beautiful. The balcony looks out over the city and you can watch the tower twinkle on it while drinking a nice glass of wine. A wonderful place to unwind after the hustle of the city. The town you are staying in is great. Out door market, great wine store, awesome bakery and a large grocery store. The apartment have a full kitchen if you prefer to cook your own meals. ANYTHING you need at anytime, Xavier can help. I can’t say enough about him. We had an amazing trip but I owe most of it to our hosts.

A luxurious apartment with a glorious view of the Paris skyline
This apartment has been a wonderful base for our Paris holiday, being convenient for both Paris and Versailles. It is a luxurious apartment with vastly more space than we could afford in the city centre, with the added benefit that we got to see the Paris skyline (including the Eiffel Tower). This is truly impressive, particularly at dawn and at dusk. To have this perspective does mean that getting into the city takes approx 1 hour by public transport, but it is a small price to pay for the less frenetic pleasures of this affluent French suburb. The apartment is really spacious, and had everything we needed. The star for us was the generous balcony where we ate our breakfasts with views over Paris. The owners could not have been more helpful, patiently coping with our many requests for advice. We highly recommend this apartment.

A great sized apartment in a great location!
We were looking to stay in Paris but such small apartments for high price. We looked further outside and found this great sized apartment with free street parking (we drove from the UK) It has a wonderful view over Paris and you can even see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. It is on a hill and has a staircase up to the apartment but this was no problem for us. Nice decor in-keeping with the property. All appliances you would need inc a coffee machine! Very easy check in/out. Easy reach of bus station to metro if needed. Shop very close by. Very kind, generous hosts, great communication and happy to help at any time. Would happily stay again.
